Pros: Smooth ride, excellent handling, quality, American made, family sedan, more bang for the buck!
Cons: Wind noise, and that is expected when you can go 0-60 in 7.5 seconds.
I don't understand the bad rap that American sedans get. This one will change your mind on how you perceive them. A smooth ride, deceiving power, excellent handling, well priced, and all the amenities you need made me choose this sedan over a foreign one. I recently bought the Limited edition and it is fully loaded, dual climate control, heated seats, one touch sunroof (not available in foreign counterparts), 6 disc in dash CD changer, traction control, . Although I heard so much about the CVT transmission, I opted for the 6 speed and I don't regret it one bit. That makes the 203 hp more like 250 hp with 0-60 in 7.5 seconds. With a family of 5 the trunk is a blessing. The gas mileage is definitely a plus and the 21+ cu ft trunk is far better than any other sedan in its class. Oh ya, did I mention, it is American made! Bottom line, this is a better sedan than anything else on the market and Ford has nailed it!
