honestly, no clue. I just know that with the way new cars are being built these days I'd never get one.
If you're serious about getting one, just rent it from a car rental company for a day and beat the piss out of it and see if you like it. I know with the fusion I rented if I let off the gas pedal there was about .5-1.0 seconds of delay where the car would keep accelerating before it'd stop, and on a hill when I hit the gas pedal it'd roll back before it'd go forward. My manual focus didn't even roll back as far as it did.
So overall I am not impressed by the new fords at all.
