Hey Ian - nah, it's an 08 - same engine and trans as yours. I'm quite happy with it, tho. We did almost 1800 KMs last week while on vacation - the damn thing is as happy at 140 as it is at 100. Of course, gas mileage suffers considerably, but... :P
The 2009 specs weren't finalized when I bought mine, so I don't really wanna kick myself TOO hard over it. And as per usual, Ford doesn't let you select all 6 gears individually - same as the Fusion and Taurus. So, in a sporting context the appeal goes away. Yeah, they're better on gas than the 08s as well apparently.
Would I get another? Not sure. Do I like the one I have now? Actually, yeah!
