    Fiesta and Focus only. The EcoSport has it overseas, but not in North America. And I'd have to say buy one, or 2 or 3 , that transmission should put all 4 of my kids through university!

    It's going to be hard to buy any vehicle with a lot of miles on it and have it trouble free, that said the Fusions I saw come through our dealerships were good cars.
    Gary, have your ford friend run the vin number through fords OASIS to pull up the cars work history, this will only be ford repairs but will give you an idea of what your looking at.

    Merc2.5,
    My wife bought a new 2018 Silverado crew cab, 5.3 1/2 ton 4X4 Z71 LT about 1-1/2 year ago. Amazing truck. The 8cyl to 4 cyl feature is flawless and we avg 16-17 mpg city, 22 hwy...No BS. And I live in the "Hills of Tennessee", so a flat lander will likely do better.
    I was leery of the 8 to 4 cylinder feature because I remember and worked on GM cars back in the mid late 70's. It was not a good working system back then.

    Rent a new one for a couple days before you condem the new trucks....That's what we did and we bought one.
    It did take a few thousand miles to break in and loosen up.
    I'm not givin up on gm by no means , my truck is a 12 and lots issues up to 13 14 I guess. Mine uses **** outta oil and fouls #1 quite often , I got programmer comin to shut off 4cyl , but for 1st gen of 4cyl chevys was like this , I guess their 1st try at it , motor has good power and runs great , but truthfully I ride round in 5th gear so it wont come on unless over 80 I go 6th. I love my chevys. That's all we own , but this truck has guve me hell and I gotta stay on top of it. Most with 130k has replaced motor or heads because of this.
