What Owners Say
"The Fusion is a heavy vehicle, and the V6 keeps up with it. The wide turning radius is the major shortcoming, and is a constant but mild annoyance."
Anonymous, CA (2006 Ford Fusion)"Good acceleration, good handling."
NICK E., MT (2006 Ford Fusion)"Great acceleration with V6. Not as good as expected gas mileage. Significant road noise."
JAY R., TX (2006 Ford Fusion)"Excellent acceleration"
Ronald H., CO (2006 Ford Fusion)"We chose a 4 cylinder to save gas and really it is too heavy for a 4 cylinder. We learned to not take the chance to make the gap because it has NO pick up. Nice and steady ok. This car was a lemon with handling. From the beginning, it wanted to pull right. We have tried many times and ways to fix this, but it always pulls to the right - just sometimes less."
