I first drove this car when I had to rent it from the ford dealership. I know then that I wanted to drive it. It made me feel like I was driving a sports car, like a mustang, but it was much more luxurious. The MPG is pretty good on it too. Before I drove this car I was considering getting a car like a mustang or a charger. Something with some power. My husband was trying to convince me to get something with some MPG and not waste our money on a fun car. This was our compromise.
