my first new car.

**DFA** · 07-02-2008, 08:22 PM

My first big purchase of my life.. brand new Ford Fusion fully loaded..comes with sirius radio, AC, all power, sun roof...160hp... be great for work an 41miles per gallon on gas... got it on a 5 year pay plan which is about a Fords life span so ill be able to sell it for a decent price in 5 years and up grade.

the stock speakers are awesome in it got tweeters by the side mirrors and im putting my clarion sub an amp in this weekend biggrin.gif

its super comfy and all the little things really add up.

blue tooth voice calling no head sets or anything..its got a microsoft hard drive in it ..buttons for everything on the steering wheel...cup holders all have a ring of lights in it and floor lights in the front an back with a button where you can change the color about 5 diff colors...and the 160hp gives it some decent poke to. Ill proly add lots to the performance next summer.

nope its pretty good..If you were to drive it pretty moderate revs youd get pretty close to that.. I get around 36-38mpg with it.

x2, buying a new car is one of the biggest mistakes you can make imo. Why not just buy a car that is 2-3 years old if you really want a newer car? You easily save 30%

**Insulin Ihsaan** · 07-02-2008, 08:51 PM

**RenegadeUR** · 07-02-2008, 08:51 PM

GM gives crazy good deals to the military..Got a brand new fully loaded Chevy Silverado 4 door for 21,859 and some change. Good stuff..Props to GM!

**drxmn** · 07-02-2008, 08:52 PM

seriously dont bother with performance mods. Unless you are going to do forced induction youll be blowing your money for nothing.

**RenegadeUR** · 07-02-2008, 08:53 PM

500 a month..thats alot!

That was seriously mean-spirited, Matty. Can't people have a little joy in their lives without you pissing all over it?

And I as well, and I get labor free and all parts at cost, but I wont be modding my 08 impreza. Im going to wait for my next car to actually do stuff (legacy gt most likely)

**Elliptical Envy** · 07-02-2008, 09:06 PM

I've had it for about 1.5 years. I really haven't noticed any downs at all right now.

Good to hear man..is yours basic or the loaded one like mine?.. I really like all the small details that add up in the car.

Well a chip will get you like 7hp

The NA cars blow on the chips. I love WRXs but eh, a legacy is more toned down yet higher performance.

good buy though.

Mine is loaded and I just bought the 4 cyl SE package. It comes with a lot of stuff to be a base model back in 2007. I think you have more features since that is a 2008 model and Ford has that whole SYNC thing going on now.

**qualitywah** · 07-02-2008, 09:22 PM

72 month financing... what was the rate 17.8%? down payment? im guessing 450 per month. imo i would NOT have bough a ford. as i think ford makes junk. no offense, im not knocking your new car. just me personal opinion.
