Even on heavy rains no leak inside the cabin, no skids on turns & wet roads but lower than expected milage. Used 75 ltrs , average milage= 14.8 km/ltr. Used ordinary petrol + System G. Cruise speeds crossing 120 kmph = suboptimal speeds and strong head winds for about 50% of time could have reduced milage (???)

Comments on Car / Ford Fusion : Excellent all way through, no problems, except for air leak from tyres.
