I trust her enough to raise our child so her driving my truck is no issue. I like the fusions but buying a bigger car with a bigger engine kind of defeats the purpose behind buying this one. ha ha

No personal experience yet but I see them all over the place here. Obviously it wont be any where near as capable as my truck in the snow but front wheel drive cars usually do ok. This car has a decent set of snow tires on it which will help a ton.

I also just figured out it has the "Zetek" version of the 2.0 DOHC 4 banger in it which would explain why it was constantly doing wheelies on the way home. It has like 130 HP instead of the 110 most other focus's have. Not sure of thats a good thing or not. ha ha

My 4.6L crown Vic gets better then that. Kinda sad.


On snow it all comes down to tires on these cars. The stock tires on my wife's where some kinda summer tire it was down right scary in the snow. I replaced them with a more winter style all season and now I have never had a hick up out of the car it does great. My wife's also has the high HP 2.0l. It's kinda zippy. It doesn't have the power my Vic does but it's just a 4cyl.

Did some maintenance on it today. Replaced the valve cover gasket, changed the oil, air filter, wiper blades, fixed trunk latch, replaced a couple blown fuses and checks for play in the wheel bearings and bushings. Should be good to go for a bit now.
