Anonymous, MB (2010 Ford Fusion)"The transmission doesn't always engage when 'D' is selected."
Anonymous, WI (2010 Ford Fusion)"Relatively slow acceleration for a V6, perhaps because related to AWD"
BRIAN K., WA (2010 Ford Fusion)"love standard transmission"
Anonymous, ME (2010 Ford Fusion)"Does not coast -- engine brake always on. Fuel mileage is terrible."
ANN B., FL (2010 Ford Fusion)"Acceleration is rapid and strong; vehicle has the V-6 rated at about 300 HP. Handling is always safe and secure."
Anonymous, TX (2010 Ford Fusion)"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."
CARLA S., VA (2010 Ford Fusion)"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."
Anonymous, CA (2010 Ford Fusion)"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."
FREDERICK S., MI (2010 Ford Fusion)"poor back window vision, especially when backing up in a parking lot."
Anonymous, MA (2010 Ford Fusion)"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."
Anonymous, AZ (2010 Ford Fusion)"I enjoy driving this car. We do mostly highway driving and can go long distances in comfort."

DENNIS W., VA (2010 Ford Fusion)"Power steering froze and Fod Dealer said it was related to tire air pressure or maybe something more serious. Not happy with service experience"
PATRICIA C., VA (2010 Ford Fusion)"The Fusion rides and drives like a more expensive European sports sedan."

JAMES M., ON (2010 Ford Fusion)"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!"

Raymond W., CA (2010 Ford Fusion)"Acceleration is excellent and handling is excellent.. I have no complaints."
Dennis S., IN (2010 Ford Fusion)"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)."
Anonymous, PA (2010 Ford Fusion)"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."
Anonymous, IN (2010 Ford Fusion)"Acceleration is good, and handling in tight quarters is excellent. With snow tires this car is very good in Michigan winters."
Anonymous, MI (2010 Ford Fusion)"For a four cylinder car it gives good acceloeratioj and handles well."
Anonymous, IL (2010 Ford Fusion)"It's a hybrid, yet the acceleration far surpasses our Subaru Outback. It handles great to me."
Mike E., TX (2010 Ford Fusion)"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."
Anonymous, CA (2010 Ford Fusion)"Nice car to drive moderately firm suspension, crisp handling and a firm , but not harsh ride. You fell like you are in control"
Richard-Judith C., ME (2010 Ford Fusion)"Backing up is always difficult due to reduced visibility. The rear window does not allow you to see enough of the road behind you."
Anonymous, OR (2010 Ford Fusion)"Excellent acceleration and very solid roadhandling"
George A., ON (2010 Ford Fusion)"It steers easily and takes corners very nicely."

Anonymous, CA (2010 Ford Fusion)"Excellent ride with very balanced handling. Also, has excellent power that is comfortable to drive in the crazy Miami traffic."
Alan T., FL (2010 Ford Fusion)"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."

Anonymous, TN (2010 Ford Fusion)"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."
Anonymous, PA (2010 Ford Fusion)"Larger engine in the Sport. Model gives spirited performance. Also, wide tires and low CG provides great handling on curves."
Anonymous, OH (2010 Ford Fusion)"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."

Joseph C., CT (2010 Ford Fusion)"This is the sport model. Handling and acceleration is very old."
Anonymous, BC (2010 Ford Fusion)"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."
Paula V., TX (2010 Ford Fusion)"The gas millage is very good for a 3.5 liter car and the acceleration when entering from an on ramp is very good."
