As some of you know, and despite the handle, we no longer have a Focus; my wife and I instead both driving Fusion SELs. Her's is an 09 auto - mine an 08 manual.

First impressions are pretty positive - very solid and quiet and comfortable. Much better performance for a 4-banger than I hoped to expect (it's only 200 lbs heavier than my wagon) ... and decent driving dynamics with plenty of aftermarket mods available to fix whatever is lacking.

Complimenting the complete lack of wind and road noise is a nice little intake growl ... but totally missing is any exhaust sound whatsoever ... easily fixed.

I'm still a bit iffy about the colour, but overall a decently handsome ride IMO - the only additions so far are tint and hidden hitch ... so here it is ... and let the modding begin.
