Monday, June 12, visited friends in Winter Park, FL - one had 2013 Ford Fusion Energi, the other had 2015 C-Max Energi. I drove and rode in both. Wednesday, June 14 went to Ford Dealership in New Smyrna Beach. Checked out interior and exterior colors and trim. Vehicle relocated from West Palm Beach to New Smyrna Beach Thursday, June 15, paid my favorite Uncle his 1/4erly estimate, went to dealership, bought 2017 Ford Fusion Titanium with 11.8k miles, just coming off a corporate lease, loaded with most all options. Friday, June 16, spent most of day reading manual, researching best garage AC system, and taking my ride for a quick spin marveling at the mileage per gallon. My family had always been Chevy/Toyota/Honda buyers for many years. My good ole' boy brother's favorite line is "I'd rather push a Chevrolet than drive a Ford". Well, my mindset changed after my Monday experience with the 2013 Fusion and 2015 C-Max. I was very impressed enough to change longtime car allegiances. For our application, now retired, and driving less in Daytona Beach, this was the best fit. Got within $1,000 of buying a Acura TLX a week ago, checked out Honda CRV's and was about to take a "wait and see" attitude until Monday, and having my friends speak so effusively about their vehicles. Then my research and reviews validated their claims. I pulled the trigger and so far am glad that I did. I'm as green as one can be with Fords, and the features, and pros/cons of the Fusion Energi. Am going to research past posts for answers on garage chargers, how to utilize the apps and features, and what apps to use on my phone, and on and on. So congrats to Ford for converting me and any wisdom your with your years of experience will be appreciated. NewTimes in Daytona Beach
