    Sometimes life gets in the way

    Congratulations! I know the feeling. I had to wait at least 12 weeks for mine. But, 2+ years later, I still love driving the car. Hardly ever use the gaser (05 Camry), except for trips, and on the occasional times I get range anxiety - wife and I both drive the car.

    Nice article pointing out Ford's recent safety wins

    Olagon, Thanks for that... I am also considering a Fusion to replace my aging Camry.

    Financially ideal to buy a new Focus Electric every year

    http://insideevs.com/top-15-faqs-income-tax-credit-plug-vehicles/ The New Plug-In Tax Credit doesn’t have an expiration date. Purchasers of qualified vehicles can continue to claim the credit until the manufacturer has sold 200,000 qualified vehicles for use in the States. Once a...

    Polling FFE owners for real data.

    How many miles FFE owners have... I bought mine in Jan. 2013 I have about 10,600 gas free miles :D . And, this car is more fun than any car i've ever driven. ( I traded in a PHEV prius).

    2012 Focus #1 on Safety Institute Vehicle Safety Watch List

    WattsUp/twscrap Thanks for that, guys. I'm due for my 10,000 mile. I mentioned it to the dealer (service) way back, but he just shrugged his shoulders...

    2012 Focus #1 on Safety Institute Vehicle Safety Watch List

    I have problems with my steering. Don't know if it's this or not, but...I haven't noticed a pulling on the steering wheel. In fact, my steering wheel is TOO tight. In other words, where ever I point it, it stays in that position, until I use a little force to change it. I've never had a car...

    If you could change 3 thing...

    First off, I love the car ... But, When I first test drove it, it was on smooth streets, and I loved the ride... quiet, smooth, etc. However, after this Chicago winter, many of the streets I drive on are very bumpy and very noticeable esp. compared to my trade-in, a plug-in Prius. So, I'd...

    Navigation And Shortcuts

    " I drove at 40 instead of 55 and made it home with 1 mile to spare." Wow. Talk about range anxiety :o . I'm glad you still like your FFE. Good thing you could charge at the Ford dealer!

    Vanity Plates - Tool or not to Tool

    In '09 I had my Prius converted to a 25 mile phev. So I changed my plate to HI MPG 3. Of course, when I traded in the Prius, I transferred that plat to the FFE. It's not really accurate, but gets the point across. I was thinking of updating it, but don't really want to pay another fee to the...

    Ford Fusion Energi

    Gigi, Thanks for the info. The only reason I wouldn't get the energi vs hybrid, is our life style. The camry sits in the garage most of the time, as almost all of our driving is with the focus E. However, 4 or 5 times a month, we do need the camry for more distance, or, we both need the car...

    Ford Fusion Energi

    Gigi, I have been looking to trade my Camry in on the Fusion hybrid. However, there have been a number of questions from competitors questioning the claimed 47/47 mpg of the hybrid. Do you believe it is possible when in hybrid mode to get that kind of mileage? What mileage do you get...

    The cleanest driving.

    EVfuture, If I were you, I'd go to a ford dealer and cruse the lot. You're bound to find your color. That's the color I chose as well. I find in different light it can have a slightly different look. Good luck!

    Stop Safely Now Warning

    I'd ask the dealer to reinstall it. :?:

    2015 Focus spotted in the wild...what will it look like?

    Since the cold weather set in in Chicago, (and I mean cold weather!) weeks and weeks ago, the ride has gotten much stiffer. It feels like the shocks are twice as stiff as they were in the summer (a lot of jostling going on, plus, the additional ruts & bumps in the streets). The ride just isn't...

    C-MAX owners forget to close their charging doors too!
