If you have been looking for a new sedan and haven’t taken a look at the Ford Fusion, you need to look again. In fact, the Fusion even outperformed the Camry and Altima in Quality. The latest results from the 2008 model year Global Quality Research System report showed that the Fusion leads the Toyota Camry and the Nissan Altima in quality. The results were based on overall customer satisfaction ratings at three months in service for ‘Things Gone Wrong’ in 2008 model year vehicles registered in the fall of 2007. The report found that…
- 81% of Fusion owners are completely satisfied with their overall ownership experience, compared to 79% for Camry and only 77% for Altima
- After 3 months of ownership, 87% of Fusion owners were completely satisfied with overall transmission operation, whereas only 84% of Camry and Altima owners felt the same
- The Fusion also had the highest satisfaction rating for trunk/cargo capacity than any car in its class
With new package upgrades and outstanding quality, its time to put Fusion on your consideration list for your next new car. If you have any questions or would like more information on the new 2009 Ford Fusion feel free to call us toll free at (877) 883-5386.

Many people have already fallen in love with the Ford SYNC system, but soon the system will have even more to get excited about! For those of you that aren’t familiar with SYNC, it is Ford’s voice activated fully integrated entertainment and communications system. The system allows drivers the ability to control their Bluetooth enabled cell phones and virtually any digital media player, with simple voice activated commands or the buttons on their stereo. It was introduced in the fall of 2007 in select vehicle lines, and it is already on pace to hit the 1 million mark by early 2009! And by the end of 2008 the system should be available in almost every 2009 Ford vehicle. But that isn’t the only upgrade to SYNC. This fall there will be two additional upgrades , 911 Assist and Vehicle Health Report.
911 Assist- If an airbag deploys, the 911 Assist quickly helps place a call to the local 911 emergency operator. (A properly paired, turned on and connected mobile phone must be set up and in the vehicle). There’s even a 10-second delay before the call is placed, allowing the occupant a chance to cancel the call if 911 isn’t needed.
Vehicle Health Report- Consider it preventative medicine for your vehicle. SYNC will be able to gather vehicle mileage and diagnostic information and send it to Ford via the paired phone for analysis. Then a text message regarding any critical concerns can be sent to the owner immediately. Owners can also review the complete report including, vehicle diagnostics, maintenance, recalls, and multipoint inspection items on syncmyride.com
