    wife wants a sho, please advise

    We live well within our means. We could easily afford to buy the sho, even new if we wanted, and easily afford the added cost of the fuel mileage, but at the end of the day we would both feel like it was a huge waste of money. We ended up purchasing a 2015 fusion titanium ecoboost brand new. We...

    Well it was hard, but we turned her back in today. Our current lexus was actually purchased for the same cost as the sho, and while it is a hybrid, it is also an suv and not a car. We are going back and forth right now between the ecoboost fusion and a 4 banger ecoboost taurus.

    wife wants a sho, please advise

    So the wife just called, shes been driving the car all morning for work and its averaging 19.5mpg. She says she has been babying it and that is the best she can get. At this point it is looking like a no go for us. Unless there is something we can purchase to get her in the 25mpg range we are...

    Her driving is mixed hwy and city. She does home health so travels to peoples homes all day. We do have a 10 month old. Our current vehicle is a 2007 lexus rx400h, and the rear seat room is just entirely too small. The taurus is much more spacious.

    As far as i can tell it has about every option there is other than the performance package or whatever it's called. We discussed a limited, she wants a sho. Limiteds are much cheaper. The wheels you posted are the ones she wants the most. We have not been able to find one that wasnt wrecked...

    Well we just left the dealership and have a 2014 sho with 25k miles sitting in the driveway for the weekend. We'll decide on monday if we are going to keep it or not. So far, i really like it.

    Thanks for all the replies and advice. I looked into a tune package by livernois, appears to be an air intake kit and programmer thats adds mpg and hp. At $1,000 though it would take a long time to recoup that money in savings. I definitely agree that talking into something she doesnt want is...

    wife wants a sho, please advise

    I agree with you, that is why i have her looking at ecoboost fusions. She really loves a sho we ran across though, and i cant convince her to just buy a limited taurus. She wants a sho. So are there any mods that increase fuel mileage? Her current vehicle averages around 25mpg, was hoping to...

    wife wants a sho, please advise

    The wife and i are in the market for a newer used car. We are currently looking at fusion ecoboost's, but she really fell in love with the taurus sho. I like the car as well but am concerned about fuel mileage. She drives between 75-100 miles per day. What mods can be done to getvthe fuel...
