Ford Fusion Change Vehicle

Unlock Ratings
The Ford Fusion is agile and satisfying to drive, with a sporty feel. Its V6 engine and automatic transmission make for a smooth and responsive powertrain, the four-cylinder option is a bit coarse however. Additionally, Fusion's interior is well made and space is generous.

Overall Owner Satisfaction

Consumer Reports’ Annual Owner Satisfaction Survey can improve the chances of finding a compatible car match. How? Our survey data reveals whether, all things considered, owners would buy the same car again. The answer to that question is what determines our owner-satisfaction rating, which is a powerful piece of intel because it predicts how well a particular model will satisfy other owners.

Overall Owner Satisfaction

Owner Satisfaction with:

Driving Experience

Includes acceleration and handling

What Owners Say

"Handles very well but acceleration is a bit slow 4 cyl engine"

ROBERT B., MA (2006 Ford Fusion)

"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)

"It's remarkably smooth on the highway. I commute about 50 miles to work on the interstate, and this car is very smooth all the way."

Chris B., VA (2006 Ford Fusion)

"Strong acceleration, okay handling"

Peter B., CA (2006 Ford Fusion)

"Acceleration is strained, but handling is great."

LORENZO M., CT (2006 Ford Fusion)

C G., SC (2006 Ford Fusion)

"Bought used and have put over 100,000 miles on with no makor problems"

ROBERT B., MA (2006 Ford Fusion)

"I find it very comfortable as a passenger. However, my husband has serious issues with the drivers seat during long rides. Overall, we have had no major problems."

Anonymous, TN (2006 Ford Fusion)

"11 years, one minor repair!"

Andre L., QC (2006 Ford Fusion)

"Good: This car has been the most reliable vehicle I have owned. After 11 years and 110,000 miles, it only needed one serious repair that affected the operation of the vehicle (shift lever switch wouldn't detect Park, locking the keys in the ignition). I wish I had waited a year for the 2007, however, to get SYNC, satellite radio, and the door keypad."

Richard Y., IL (2006 Ford Fusion)

"Reasonable amount of minor repairs over the years"

Kate H., NJ (2006 Ford Fusion)

"The value of this car has been excellent. It has 180000 miles and still runs good."

Andrew W., OH (2006 Ford Fusion)

Styling

How it looks inside and out

What Owners Say

"Nothing; the car is adequate and average in appearance, satisfactory but not standing out in any way. I am glad I got a vehicle with actual color (red rather than white/gray/silver/black), but it's not a particularly pretty color."

Anonymous, CA (2006 Ford Fusion)

"Climate control buttons placed too low to see clearly while driving. Brake light in rear window significantly restricts driver's rear vision. No glove compartment light. Very powerful acceleration."

JIM D., NC (2006 Ford Fusion)

Percentage of owners who would definitely purchase that same vehicle again. Owner-satisfaction Ratings are determined by the percentage of those who answered "definitely yes" to the question asked by the Consumer Reports Annual Auto Survey "Considering all factors (price, performance, reliability, comfort, enjoyment, etc.), would you get this car if you had to do it all over again?". If we don’t have sufficient data, a similar model might be used to form the owner-satisfaction score.
