Much to Jeremy's dismay, today we traded in the Mustang for a 2008 Ford Fusion. Because I have to drive almost 30 miles each way to & from work, we decided it might be time for a more fuel efficient car. We had been looking for a good week or two, done lots of research and looked at a couple of cars. The first was a 2007 Sebring sedan which, although it looked gorgeous on the outside, was terrible on the inside - all beige, cheap plastics. Ick! Then we had a look at a 2009 Toyota Corolla, which was actually a really nice car. I guess they sell about 10 million of those a week, because they only had one that had all the options we wanted at the dealer, so we put down a deposit in the event they could get one in for us. Then today Jeremy noticed that Ford was offering great financing, so we went to look at the Fusions. And even though we really did trade down - from a V8 to a 4-cylinder, muscle car to family car - it sure doesn't seem like it! We decided on a red Fusion, with the sport package. It has a 6-disc CD changer, 18" aluminium wheels, sunroof, reverse sensing (so it beeps at me before I hit something), and leather seats (black with red inserts). It really is a NICE car! Plus, and here comes the best part, it has a backseat that actual people can fit in (not just elves!)!! It gets much better gas mileage than the Mustang, and it's the type of car that will accommodate our one day growing family. It's perfect!! YAY!!
