I used to have a 2011 Mercury Milan. I got the car on June 21,2012 to early December 2016. I picked the car because it had low miles on it and I did wanted a Ford Fusion. The Ford Fusions the dealership had was a little bit more and had almost 40,000 miles. They had one that I liked in blue. Also that I was thinking of a 2012 Ford Focus or a 2011 Ford Escape. I did liked the Mercury Milan it had almost everything that I wanted in the car. The best feature is the key pad on the driver’s side door. I did changed the code on it so it can be easy to open for me or both of my parents at that time. Even my sister did know it,too. I was in an accident with the car twice on hitting a deer in 2016. One deer was in early April 2016 and in December 2016. I did drove a loaner car for 2 weeks which was a 2006 Mercury Milan. I drove that car for 2 weeks. The first 2 weeks that I didn’t have a car. I was happy to get the loaner car that was in my favorite color of blue. I never had anyone in that car with me. For the second time after hitting a deer that I got another loaner car which was a 2009 Ford Escape. My mother made a joke and said that I looked good in it. I did accidentally had it for 9 days instead for a week for the weather. After that I ended up driving my father’s 2008 Ford Expedition for a little bit over 3 months till with my mother. That we traded it for a 2015 Ford Escape SE. I had it for almost 5 years. It died on me from a bad oil leak in the engine on March 14th,2022. I had gotten a 2020 Ford Escape SE in black shortly after. My sister kind of helped me over the phone. I was about to cry at the dealership. I picked the vehicle for cloth seats. There was a 2019 one in white that had leather seats and a high trim level. I wasn’t into a 2019 one. When I gotten the 2020 Ford Escape and everything was so advanced and even new to me. I still have the vehicle.

It seems like the structure faired similar to the Fiat 500 - not bad on the Fiat’s part since it’s a much smaller car!

Is the tire wall made of racing slicks?! That was unexpected.

[@LEPERCOLONY1]

I wondered the same thing!

[@theguradien]

my dad has a ford fusion, one time he spun out on an icey road doing 10 mph into a snowbank and the whole front bumper ripped right off! 2011 model

[@Scott-ms5bb]

Will someone die in this crash with this vehicle?

[@flightlevel3608]

Hopefully not, because I have a 2011 model
