Hi ms001, my diesel fusion gives me 14.x - 16.x in Hyderabad city with 100% A/C, with normal diesel. The average is 15.5 kmpl.

Fabric or Art leather or Genuine leather?

In Art leather (that's a decent compromise between the two) I guess G-Sport is pretty good in Bangalore at least. Just head over to their main office in Jayanagar and they should have a HUGE range of options to choose from and also offer custom designs for your car. Cost should be between 4-5K.

For genuine leather Stanley or Cerrini(?)

You can see my seat covers in page 1 images in this thread.
They called it PU leather - supposed not to sweat - it doesn't sweat.

Yesterday i took a TD of Fusion, the sales person claimed that FF+ Diesel is returning 17 - 20 KMPL in city and 22 - 27 KMPL in highways. Could you please let me know how much you are getting?

My city mileage is now 16 - 18.5 kmpl on 100% A/C on regular diesel. In fact, one of my complaints at my recent service was this low mileage, since some other owners mention they get a significantly better mileage. I will need to see if it will increase now.

My highway drives go into the 120-135 kmph range and are admixed with some real rural roads - neither of which is good for mileage - hence the highways didn't give me any more mileage than the above.

Thanks Glass, do let me know if you have any improvements in the mileage after the service and the reason for lesser mileage.

When I TDed the car day before yesterday, the sales person told me the waiting period is 2 weeks, so i assume anywhere between 2 - 3 weeks the car should get delivered and surprisingly they dont have Fusion+ TD car.

Vijay, I think you missed on looking at the year; in date of the posts. He has got his Fusion one year back. And you can see the pic of rear seat on page 2 of this thread.

I dont think u can find a big change in + version. As I know + has ABS , Alloy and Driver Seat height adjustment. All other is cosmetic.

thankyou just missed that, one more question is this car worth buying at this time, cause it is the most perfect practical car for our roads which is fusion of suv and hatchback, this was my choice few months back but as were the news of ford discontinue it and their bad *** and spares prices, but now after company slashing them and getting down the spares prices as well is this a good buy for 7 + L cause heart says Ff and mind says i20.
