So it leaks like a sieve, not the best mpg, dated / confined space interior, shitty paddles, annoying engine sound, head scratch exhaust and is a maintenance nightmare.

But.....

It's a 4 door rocket, poor man's SHO.

Where do I sign n drive?

Eehhh, as they said, press car with 8K miles, 99% of which is punished...not too surprising. Plus that's what warranty is for.

I like mine. With just a livernois tune they run 13.2 @ 105 and stock high 13s. Not bad for an awd dd in the 30k range with an adaptive suspension. It's a little above average 4 door sedan that flies under the radar. That super large muffler helps make this car super quiet. I think Ford overplayed the car to be more than it is. It is not an Audi s4. It's an improvement over the previous gen fusion sport that they gave More power. I'm a heavy foot and have been avg 22mpg.

 

[ragingclue]

Yeah for the price it doesn't seem half bad at all.

That sound would drive me batshit crazy though.

 

[Mike K]

For 30kish that's not a bad car at all. Is that a 30k car?

 

[jason05gt]

Should be a high 12's car with more time tuning them. I've been watching Unleashed Tuning's development of 2.7L tunes.

 

[Primalzer]

May be looking at one of these a year or two down the road as my next DD

 

[Dave M]

The Ecoboost does sound like shit, but man do they go like stink. I'd rock one for a DD.

I'm not sure what Ford is giving them away for, but they start in the mid-$30ks and the loaded one I tested was over $40k. I didn't think it was anything special.

I didn't know Dana White does car reviews now...

They are giving them away like they are giving away scat packs. Inventory isn't moving.

Mine was sticker over 40. Had in the 30s after incentives and Gomez bird dog special. All options except cooled seats and the help me parallel park button.

They start less than mid 30 if you don't load em up. Link below.

The cruise control with start stop tech is pretty nice in stop and go Chicago driving.

I've been looking at these lately to replace my 200. The 0% for 72 incentive that's running right now caught my eye. I keep going back and forth between a Fusion or an ATS.

Yeah 30k and mid-high 30's is a world of difference. I wouldn't be paying 40k for a Fusion.

Crazy to think the 96-99 SHOs scratched just over 30k forever ago new.

 

[Mike K]

I remember in 2009 when they said the new SHO was going to be 40k I was all like Abe Simpson walking in and hanging up his coat and then turning around, grabbing his coat and walking back out. That went over predictably poorly.

 

[01Cobra]

I remember when a loaded new edge mustang gt was 24k.

 

[syP]

Well the 2010+ SHO is trash so....

 

[BlaqSnake]

I remember when a loaded new edge mustang gt was 24k.

Me too, back in 2002, lol

 

[guspech750]

They are nice cars. But I'll keep our SHO. It's been a great car.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

I remember when a loaded new edge mustang gt was 24k.

My 02 was 24k new lol! Has every option except auto trans and has the Mach 460 instead of 1000.

 

[Flyn]

My '92 Mustang LX 302 was $14K.

 

[01Cobra]

Point is it's just amazing how pricey even the mainstream cars are getting.

 

[Bru]

Average transaction price of new cars is around $33,000. The shift to SUVs has boosted that from previous years.
