We needed to get something in the +30mpg club. The Focus would have been perfect for her but is not availiable in a wagon any longer.
The budget allowed a sparsely equipped "new" Fusion "S" or we opted for the 2010 with 17,500 mi. heavily equipped "SEL" that has pretty much has option. No AWD, no hybrid, no V6. The 2.5L I4 has 175hp & equal TQ plenty of power for a 2900lb car.
The car was used buy the dealer for demo/loaner/employee. The car hadn't been titled yet. so we are the original owners although technically it's a used car. I think it's pretty slick & it her car & she loves it. $19k out the door.
