Ford Fusion Change Vehicle

"Excellent acceleration when needed, effortless."

"dependability"

"Somewhat sporty, but comfortable and quiet after six years 155k miles."

"handling very good, accelleration on highway at expense of fuel economy"

"Good acceleration."

"V6 power and sport tuned suspension"

"This car stalls/loses power at highway speeds, sometimes in heavy traffic and on interstates. Very dangerous. Ford cannot diagnose the cause of or the solution to this problem. ."

"I have the sport model and acceleration and handling has been outstanding."

"Handles well on highway."

"Great road feel, is a pleasure to drive, carves turns precisely, and I sometimes drive it 700 miles in a day arriving with no aches. 31 mpg cruising at or over 75. 4 cyl. Zero oil consumption between changes."

"Great acceleration."

"same comments as other Fusion"

"Acceleration is a little slow from stop but is very good thereafter"

"The transmission doesn't always engage when 'D' is selected."

"Relatively slow acceleration for a V6, perhaps because related to AWD"

"love standard transmission"

"Does not coast -- engine brake always on. Fuel mileage is terrible."

"Acceleration is rapid and strong; vehicle has the V-6 rated at about 300 HP. Handling is always safe and secure."

"Within the past month, the power steering failed twice. Then I took it to the dealer and an independent shop. Both said that the power steering rack needed to be replaced. The model years subsequent to 2010 were recalled but mine was not. I complained to the dealer but received no response. I paid $1800 for the repair. I don't know why Ford doesn't cover repairs for the 2010 since they cover the newer cars."

"Everything about the car is great except it is VERY hard to see traffic beside and behind. My Bronco has wonderful visibility. In the Fusion I am always amazed when I don't get hit changing lanes."

"Entire dash kept going out, transmission went out the day after the warranty expired, Bendix kept slipping, windshield wiper fluid hose snapped off, trunk hinges shifted and gas tank has a hole in it."

"poor back window vision, especially when backing up in a parking lot."

"The car has great balance with the batteries in the back compensating for the weight of the engine. It handles well through corners and is fun to drive."

"I enjoy driving this car. We do mostly highway driving and can go long distances in comfort."

"Very good handling. Acceleration is so-so, but it is a four cylinder, which is to be somewhat accepted."

"Power steering froze and Fod Dealer said it was related to tire air pressure or maybe something more serious. Not happy with service experience"

"The Fusion rides and drives like a more expensive European sports sedan."

"The Fusion handles like a sport sedan. With the V-6 and AWD, it has gotten us out of some dangerous situations--such as truck tires exploding ahead at highway speed."

"the 3.0L engine, coupled with the 6 speed automatic & AWD provides a very enjoyable driving experience. It lives up to it's 2010 Car of the Year award. It is also GREAT in the snow!"

"All the comforts of a big car and I get 42 mpg! Why doesn'the everyone drive a hybrid?"

"Very satisfied with acceleration awd and handling in snow or muddy conditions and rainy days when roads are slippery"

"Excellent handling and performance, quiet, comfortable ride, awesome acceleration."

"Rides Nice, Handles well"

"Accelerating quickly requires a firm stomp on the accelerator and the car seems to strain noisily when acceleration speed is demanded of it"

"acceleration, handling, gas-milage, rear-view camera, 360-degree visibility, seat comfort, color."

"Good driving control holding road well and responds to speed control."

"Excellent gas mileage and comfortable handling. Acceleration could be better."

"Problem-free driving to date."

"The car is just a bit under powered with the 4 cylinder engine. At times entering a 1960's designed cloverleaf expressway I must take the engine pass 4000 RPMs which I prefer not to do."

"I really like the way it drives,also the size of the car. It has been my favorite Ford. Because of the mileage I will be purchasing a new Fusion in the next few months. Hopefully a new 2018 is still available."

"good acceleration from 4 cylinder engine and good handling."

"The acceleration is good, and it handles and corners well"

"The Ford Fusion has very good excelleration, easy to handle, and delivers a very smooth ride."

"Except for a tiny hesitation when first accelerating from low speed to highway speed, the Fusion Hybrid has great acceleration. Handling is terrific."

"Good acceleration. Handling is excellent."

"Very sporty handling (it is the Sport model with the larger engine). Larger tires and low CG provides good handling on curves."

"Outstanding handling Good acceleration"

"Vehicle feels very tight and solid. Handling is sporty. But the ride remains extremely comfortable"

"Handling is very good, especially for a North American car"

"It still handles well. It accelerates ok for a hybrid. It is tremendous, especially for an 8 year old car with 126000 miles."

"The car holds the road at speed extremely well, and the handling on curves is predictable."

"It has always done what it is supposed to do."

"I like the accleration and doesn't give much when I take corners."

"Nice looking interior and exterior. Held up good. Fast acceleration, easy to listen to sound system going down the road"

"Acceleration is reasonably quick and the handling gives me a safe and secure feeling."

"good acceleration responsive handling"

"Driving is very fun. Strong acceleration, great handling."

"It is fun to drive. It handles very well. Reasonable acceleration."

"Acceleration is excellent and handling is excellent.. I have no complaints."

"Dramatic loss of acceleration as the hybrid battery has aged. Significant delay when starting from stop (engine warm or cold) makes pulling out into traffic iffy unless there is huge space available. EV drive rarely stays engaged even at low speed on flat roads, resulting in loss of overall MPG. Based on built-in monitor, used to average 38/40 MPG now 32/34 (Summer/Winter)."

"Quite impressed with the acceleration getting on the highway with the hybrid. There's no knobs to adjust to get the most out of the system, just tromp on the gas and it goes. Corners well, handles wet or snow well, initial torque can catch you off guard in the wet and you can spin the front tires pretty easily."

"Acceleration is good, and handling in tight quarters is excellent. With snow tires this car is very good in Michigan winters."

"For a four cylinder car it gives good acceloeratioj and handles well."

"It's a hybrid, yet the acceleration far surpasses our Subaru Outback. It handles great to me."

"There is a distinct hesitation when first accelerating that is so annoying. It's been this way since new. Once it's moving, though, the car handles well."

"Nice car to drive moderately firm suspension, crisp handling and a firm , but not harsh ride. You fell like you are in control"

"Backing up is always difficult due to reduced visibility. The rear window does not allow you to see enough of the road behind you."

"Excellent acceleration and very solid roadhandling"

"It steers easily and takes corners very nicely."

"Acceleration is very responsive and the car corners well. Feels like a sports car, especially compared to previous cars I’ve owned. It’s fun to drive!"

"Great acceleration and tight handling. No rattles to date."

"The combination of gas and electric gives the vehicle great acceleration and great gas mileage. It handles very well and is comfortable to drive."

"Has plenty of power and handles well."

"Comfortable and responsive ride. It does not drive as sluggishly as many hybrids but is still difficult to pass at highway speed."

"Excellent ride with very balanced handling. Also, has excellent power that is comfortable to drive in the crazy Miami traffic."

"Excellent responsive driving around town. Good displays to help economic driving in town. As a older car the battery degradation is impacting mileage slightly. I hate that Ford will still not replace passanger airbag and has told me by letter not to drive anyone in front passenger seat."

"The car is very nimble and accelerates quickly up to speed. The steering wheel is large and it makes turning the car easier."

"Major throttle body issues. Replaced 3 times and still is not fixed. Now have 2 Safety Recalls. Air bags and cracked fuel tank. Love the car, hate recall issues."

"This Hybrid drive system with the gas engine, electric motor and Continuously Variable Transmission provides a smooth and powerful response to all of my demands."

"acceleration & handling exactly what one wants from a larger engine and sport model"

"acceleration/ power very good with 1.5 and FWD. don't understand your critisisum"

"Very responsive when the accelerator is pressed down."

"While my husband indicated that I just needed a 'grocery getter' car, I wanted one where I could pass folks on the road who were driving distracted to avoid the accidents in their futures. The Fusion is a nice little old lady car, but allows me to accelerate quickly when needed. Sometimes I still want to drive like a smart ass teenager."

"Larger engine in the Sport. Model gives spirited performance. Also, wide tires and low CG provides great handling on curves."

"The gas/electric Hybrid has very good acceleration and power, much stronger than a 4 but not as strong a s a good 6 while getting 36-40 mpg. The handling on a Fusion is one of it's strongest traits. Firm, planted, smooth on highways and mountain roads."

"Fun car to drive. Great acceleration and handling. Corners well at all speeds."

"This is the sport model. Handling and acceleration is very old."

"My wife did not want a four cylinder engine car, but when she accelerated getting on the freeway, she was surprised how the electric engine assisted the pickup better than she expected. The parking also is easier with the rear camera and vehicle detector that warns you if there is a car in your "blind" spots including backing out of your driveway."

"The gas millage is very good for a 3.5 liter car and the acceleration when entering from an on ramp is very good."

"Accelerates quickly, handles like a sports car should"

"All good for price"

"climate control/general instrument panel layout poor too complicated difficult for older eyes to adjust or set. tiny lights lettering. noise quite good for this class car."

"Leather heater seats are great and very comfortable"

"seats exceptionally comfortable , ride very good, climate control very good"

"The tire noise is very high for the sport version - The tires for the sport version are also hard to find (I blew one in a pot hole) and much more expensive that for the normal version). The rear mirror fell off from the windshield during a hot spell."

"seats are hard---climate control stopped working--not quite on the road"

"I suspect the Sync problems are partly related to flaws with Bluetooth transmissions and with Cell Phone Tower locations"

"Headrests are terrible !! tipped too far forward -because I am short they tilt my head forward if I do not put the seat in recline--Just terrible design"

"Comfortable but small. Very quiet-quieter after 155k miles than many new luxury cars."

"It's the most comfortable car I've ever driven"

"Do not like heather seats: hot in summer cold in winter but support and adjustability are excellent . Cold down rear seats are wonderful: easy to do and allows 10 foot long cargo with rear hatch still closed."

"Nice seats. Good highway ride"

"II do not find the seats comfortable at all and it is hard to get out of this car. My wife, however, loves the vehicle. Although she had only 20,000 miles on the car, it was out of warranty and a $1600 steering part failed. I was disappointed in that."

"Sits too low and door openings are too low on top. I bump my head frequently."

"I find the seating in this car extremely comfortable. The front has heated buckets with lumbar support. The best."

"It is a little noisy"

"The driver's side seat is not full power. The passenger seat is totally manual. I think that's a little cheap."

"Quiet smooth ride"

"The power adjustable seats on the SEL trim line are the best we have ever had in a car"

"with the exception of the nose when you increase the speed it's great !"

"Comfortable seats. AC blows directly in my face, very nice ride and handling. Fuel consumption is satisfactory."

"The Fusion is quiet on the road, and front seats are incredibly comfortable."

"CLIMATE CONTROL BUTTONS ARE NOT VERY EASY TO OPERATE"

"The heat does not blowout evenly - it will not blow out on the floor no matter what is selected resulting in cold feet."

"Passenger seat has no memory function, no garage door remote and Nav system is not as easy to use as my BMW. Also being tall could use more headroom."

"The ride is very rough on bumpy roads and somewhat effects the steering. I am short and the steering wheel is only about 6 to 7 inches from my chest. Disable air bag? Chance injury from proximity to the bag? Neither choice seems to make sense."

"AC system began working intermittently after 4 years and required a $400 part replacement. Was not fixed correctly the first time."

"Noisy fan. When window/s are down the thumping wind noise is annoying. AC literally freezes on hot days on long trips and stops working until the ice melts."

"Lumbar support in driver's seat is excellent, even for a very old back. Ride is fairly smooth--but Wisconsin roads are so rough it's hard to be sure! Power adjustment on front seats is very effective. Rear seats are short on leg-room."

"low noise level, seats very comfortable,"

"It is quiet. Ride is a little stiff"

"My fusion has probably the best ride and most comfortable seating for the money. It is easy to drive long distances without fatigue."

"noisy ride from suspension."

"Very quiet and smooth ride."

"Seats are uncomfortable for partner's with back problems, especially over long distances."

"Excellent road manners, great for long distance drives. Seats are comfortable for long drives. There is some road noise from wind and. tires"

"Complete satisfaction with the car."

"The headrest is very uncomfortable when I am wearing a ponytail or bun. It forces my head to look downward and my neck to bow backwards. I have noticed this trend in newer cars. I understand they are not thinking of hairstyles when they develop headrests. It should not be uncomfortable though to wear your hair in a certain style. If the headrest pushes my head and neck in a certain way when I am just sitting there how do they thick it will go in a crash? That is a neck injury waiting to happen."

"Handles well and the ride is controlled but comfortable. The car is almost 10 years old and still has minimal wind, tire or engine noise."

"After 8 years, it still rides very smoothly, the seats are quite comfortable on long trips and there is very little road noise on the highway."

"Very poor fuel mileage. Rear wheel bearing and road noise."

"Constantly having brake issues"

"For a 2010 with 247+k miles, the ride is still quiet and comfortable. I love this car and it was probably the best car I ever purchased."

"milage"

"The seats are very uncomfortable for me. I can not take this car on a long drive because of the discomfort."

"love the heated and adjustable seats, and relatively quiet ride"

"It rides comfortably"

"The quiet when hybrid system is in use"

"low roof, awkward entry and exit"

"For the size, the ride and comfort of handling, plus gas mileage is excellent"

"Seating More roomy than larger Ford Taurus"

"The Fusion is built on the Lincoln platform so it rides beautifully, is comfortable and is good for my back!"

"Always a firm, comfortable ride. Never tires you out on long trips."

"very comfortable great adjustments"

"The vehicle is comfortable once you are in but the entrance and exit are difficult for a senior citizen."

"The head rests for the front seats are tilted too far forward for me."

"Lots of road noise. Pretty smooth ride, not overly stiff and not bouncy. Seats are pretty comfy, lots of adjustment in the front seats."

"The seats are comfortable, good sound proofing, filters out most rode noise. I can feel the road."

"Good comfort for the money. Well-built car. Has performed well over the first 100-thousand miles."

"They are sturdy and keep me supported. Sound is also minimal."

"It has been a great driving car since I drove it the lot 9 years ago. Fuel mileage has been outstanding on the highway, most trips have averaged over 35 mpg. The cabin is quiet and seats comfortable."

"quiet interior, comfortable seating front and rear. Great acceleration and braking"

"Stiff ride and somewhat noisy"

"Seats are fine but not as nice as would like. There was not the package trim level I would have wanted for this model car at a premium package."

"The seats are comfortable and the car gives a good ride; It is fun to drive."

"Very comfortable and quiet"

"It is very quiet, and the ride is comfortable despite excelletn handling and road feel."

"I didn't truly know how bad the ride was until I bought a new truck. Maybe the truck is just a better design in this area, but I don't get carsick in the truck even when reading over long distances. That's without medication. Neither do my kids. But we all can get sick just sitting in the car relaxing. It's irritating because if we don't take the RV the car's better gas milage should make it our go-to for distance traveling."

"Great seats smooth ride."

"As secondary driver in this car, I find it a bit cramped getting into and out of it but I'm accustomed to driving an SUV."

"Great ride & handles well."

"Seat are okay, but on long trips the seats become uncomfortable. Noisy, AC works good but there is an air leak in the driver's window."

"We never had heated seats in any previous vehicle. Now, all of our future vehicles must have this feature."

"Comfortable ride, not much road noise. Worst part is the passenger sest sits so low, hard to get out of,"

"Seats are comfortable, even the bench seat in the back. Road noise is a bit greater that the 2016 SE model we also own. Still it is a very fine road car at its age, leaving us pretty well rested on arrival at our destination."

"Road noise could be better"

"Hybrid cloth seats are very comfortable even during long drives. without reason the fabric on the side of the seat away from any seam tore and had to be sewn back together. Very quite inside. The Fusion provides a ride that is firm (not harsh) and comfortable that you would feel in sports sedans that translates into fabulous handling."

"comfortable seating, quiet ride"

"Lags a bit under load before downshifting which causes minor but annoyinng symothetic vibration."

"not enough leg room if you are tall, The headroom also suffers if the car is equipped with a sunroof."

"Engine, 4 cyl., noise annoying. Thumping sound that emanates from right front over washboard roads is very annoying. Complete strut assembly was replaced, but problem still exists. Dealer unable to identify problem...may be stabilizer link, but uncertain."

"This was a good value for the forward looking features available at the time such as Blind Spot monitoring and rear view camera. The Sync system is also very good at voice recognition and working with the latest versions of Bluetooth connectivity."

"The price in 2010 was very attractive coupled with the purchase terms."

"Quiet assured driving, with reasonable fuel economy and handsfree phone, etc. for my daughter to use."

"I calculate my cost per mile including original price and all maintenance expenses at tax time. This February my per mile cost is at 24 cents which is well below what the government allows as a deduction."

"For cost, we like theI leave, comfort and room in the fusion. The day after purchase, we moved 300p miles. After dropping the back seats, we put in 2 large, 2 carry-on suitcases,a pile of clothes, and ice chest and a couple of boxes of stuff. The ride across country was fine."

"Initially I thought Ford hit a home run with the Fusion. I have less than 66,000 miles on it and have had more things go wrong with it than any other vehicle I've ever owned. I would not buy this car again knowing what I now know. Bad transmission, Leaked, shifts rough, or doesn't want to shift until warmed up, erratic acceleration when passing. It bogs.AC quits working on long distance trips.It literally freezes with ice coating it. Rear traffic warning quit and does not beep. Premature wear on"

"I probably could have purchased a more satisfying car for the money I paid for this car, but we were in a hurry to replace our previous car."

"Much better performance and reliability than comparable models of GM or Chrysler vehicles in 2009 Car has been extremely reliable only issues have been low profile tires are more susceptible to damage than conventional profile tires"

"I really like my Fusion, but it's sad to realize the level of depreciation of this fine car! I'd probably buy a year-old one in the future and get a better value."

"This car rides and handles like a much more expensive sports sedan. Mine is the base four-cylinder, so acceleration is less than exciting, but the car corners and handles beautifully. The sound system can produce music from fm & am radio, Sirius XM, CDs and MP3 sources. Bluetooth connectivity adds another level of value to the overall package."

"Car looks like new.. Runs well and is a great car.. Maintain this car by the book."

"Same comments as the other 2010 Fusion Sport - we bought two of these cars within four months we were so impressed."

"Very few repair problems."

"regular maintenance costs and some odds/ends costs - but very low maintenance costs overall for 248,000 miles"

"i got if for my daughter, in good shape, clean, drives well. Very good price from a private party. Price was my main consideration in purchasing this car."

"This was Ford's "make or break" auto; things were going bad for them in the mid-2000s. They poured all their technology and updating into the 2010 (which actually came out in 2009, which is when I bought it) Fusion, and it showed. Things came standard that used to be costly add-ons, and the price was bargain basement. A sweet car for pennies."

"Best car I have ever owned.....a good deal for the buck"

"The vehicle was exceptional value. Best car we have ever owned."

"I purchased the fusion in 2009 and with no problems mechanically I am still keeping it. Great price ..great value"

"Fine for the price. But needs better comfort seats and driving"

"Cost of ownership has been great. It's had no major repairs or service other than notable fleet-wide recalls."

"I have owned many cars. This is the best car I have ever owned and I am sorry that it will not be available soon. I have never had any problems with it - the reason I have not traded it in."

"Best buy. Wanted a hybrid and thought we would get a Toyota Prius. The Ford Fusion was bigger, more comfortable, and gets really good gas mileage. When new, it got over 49 mpg. Now at 120000 miles it still gets over 41."

"Recent problems with the Air Conditioning"

"The car has been almost perfect. Very little problems and it seem to hold its value"

"We bought the Fusion new at a time when the government was bailing out other car companies. We wanted to help Ford since they didn't need the bailout. There were many manufacturer incentives available that brought the total cost to several thousand below invoice. The car is a great value. We like the car except for the airbag recall that hasn't been remedied yet."

"35MPG says it all"

"worth the money"

"I have had very few problems with is vehicle. An accelerator sensor went back and replacement was eventually pay for my Ford. A sun roof part broke (bad engineering or bad part) and Ford would NOT repair at their expense'."

"Reliable"

"Value for money was excellent. The car has been reliable and gotten excellent MPG for its era."

"The Hybrid system works flawlessly, but the cost of the system remains too high."

"Extremely nice car that has worn well for the price paid."

"I thought the gas mileage would be better. Could have bought a Ford Fusion and have been just as satisfied with the mileage."

"Purchased through Internet pricing with the automobile dealership and saved considerable dollars compared to just walking in and getting a price. The car being 8 years old, the only repairs were just last week, other than oil changes the car has been exceedingly good value."

"Maybe its because I don't push the car hard, that it's still in really good shape? All in all, I keep the car in good maintenance, and I've had but a handful of problems with it. Definitely a good car."

"The vehicle was well equipped for the purchase price"

"The value comes from the quality of this car. It is reliable, gets great mileage, has provided relatively trouble-free service for almost 10 years."

"Refer to the answer from the last question. The only bad thing that I can think of, Ford not having an update for my Sync version."

"Be sure recalls have been taken care of, enjoy the car"

"It has been very reliable for me and I am very happy with the fuel efficiency of this vehicle."

"97,000 miles and no major problems, and very few minor problems all covered with extended Ford warranty."

"Needs better gas mileage."

"My Ford Fusion Hybrid is a very quiet car that gets great mileage for a comfortable and responsive vehicle that has not required any repairs in the eight years I have owned it."

"107,550 miles with the original brake pads! The regenerative brakes keep the pads much cooler allowing the brake pads to have a much longer life. That is just one example of what a hybrid car can save. The gasoline engine definitely has a lot less miles (since about 25% of the miles have been strictly electric). Car gets slightly better in-town mileage than my other car (2013 Avalon hybrid) but the Avalon gets slightly better mileage on the highway."

"Car should have memory seats but doesn't even though it is the SEL top on the line version. Plastic items inside the car feel cheap vs some Japanese vehicles, fuel economy not great and getting in and out of the front seat for a 6'6" guy not effortless with the sloping room and door."

"I ordered most of the safety options available. I have had trouble with the side sensors which tell you when someone is passing you, but everything else has worked well."

"We spent 30,000 for this car new 8 years ago and it still drives extremely well, looks like new and still gets exceptional MPG. It does not owe us anything. The only thing now is that it has a couple of squeaks and groans."

"For past 2 years vehicle has been under Air Bag Inflator recall. Takata Air Bags. Vehicle has had 4 safety recalls and two instances of failed sensors. Over all poor quality control.Ford has directed me not to drive the car. They have indicated Ford has no idea when replacement inflators will be available."

"We got a great value when we bought our Ford Fusion Hybrid. No major problems, no major costs, great gas mileage, and a great ride."

"Good value, with little need for replacement or repair. Parts have always been reasonable. Am still waiting for a replacement airbag – as required by a recall - but otherwise have had no problems with the car."

"Considering the great gas mileage and no problems with the battery over 8 years, the price for this hybrid had been more than with it."

"Good ride & handling Good gas mileage"

"Great value... relatively trouble free vehicle except EPS r@ck needed replacement at 135,000 miles. Gets great mileage...about 610 miles per tank"

"Well, its an old car now, but it has gotten great mileage, has great features, and has been relatively trouble free for the age of the car."

"Besides regular maintenance items, the car has been reliable and trouble free. It is still in good shape besides parking lot dings and is holding up well. Fuel economy is good."

"One of my Granddaughter's husband sells Fords and he got me a special price,"

"Good mpg."

"I am the original owner and have been totally pleased except for the looks of trunk space due to the battery installation in the trunk. I have not had any problems with the hybrid system to date."

"It has been trouble-Free and the the mpg' are excellent. Still looks great at 8 years"

"Interior is quiet, gas mileage is outstanding (many trips average over 40 mpg. ) Materials and workmanship are very good, and interior is excellent--85,000 miles and still looks new."

"Fair value, styling is good. Poor quality from a mechanical view."

"Has been a reliable, low maintenance vehicle that has provided the transportation I've needed and wanted."

"It's ok. Just ok."

"Was best value amooung cmpeting brands."

"Seatbelt recall makes it hazardous to take front seat passenger. Over a year with no prospect of a repair date"

"The mechanical factors(engine, transmission,brakes,etc) have been very satisfying."

"This car really delivers and you really receive a pleasant driving experience for the money"

"Air bag cover is separating from the dash pad. All one piece, but edge is separating showing foam interior."

"Car looks good rides nice"

"Love the looks of the car"

"The Fusion appears to be moving when just parked. Especially like the 'waterfall' front grill. Noise is bit much when driving; vehicle has performance tires (Sport Model)."

"Has moon roof with spoiler. Styling is good but from a mechanical standpoint a disappointment. Three recalls that I know of."

"I think it is a stylish looking car. Also a very attractive interior."

"I still get compliments on the looks (silver w/chrome) and I also think it looks great !"

"a classic that doesn't go out of style"

"good passenger space and egress visibility trunk space function over fashion in most cases."
