Ford Fusion Change Vehicle

"Great acceleration with the Sport trim 3.5 V6. Easy for highway merges. Feels like it hangs on to first gear too long, high revs, but otherwise awesome."

"Handling on corners is great."

"Very smooth, economical ride for commuting back and forth to work."

"Exterior color (black with metallic flake) is nice (good) Acceleration 30-40 is weak."

"Has good getup and gas mileage"

"Car has very good acceleration and is fun to drive. It handles like a sports car. Gas mileage is a negative as it only gets 24 MPG over the same trips that my Camry gets 30. Rattles are non existent compared to my Camry. Control Panel is a big negative and it is impossible to find controls for the Audio and the heating AC system. Just about nothing in the Control system is intuitive and is a disgrace."

"4 cylinder acceleration lack luster. Wish i'd gone with the optional 6 cylinder"

"The acceleration is excellent for a mid-sized car, the car drives very well with very little body lean when cornering at speed."

"A review I read before purchasing said it handled as well as a BMW or Mercedes sedan in the same class. I've found that to be true."

"The steering and maneuverability at any speed are excellent. Acceleration is very good except at speeds above around 60 mph when the transmission is in the top gear. When starting from a stop and at low speeds, acceleration is excellent but automatic transmission shifting is rough. The only bad feature for the vehicle is driver's vision to the rear."

"Handling is acceptable. Acceleration is fine for my style of driving. However, when the a/c is on and I accelerate there is a raspy sound from the engine."

"The Fusion handles very well in city traffic and in the mountains. The acceleration has not been as good as the handling. The model I purchased is a 4 cylinder engine. It does not accelerate well in the higher elevations."

"Acceleration is very acceptable, but it is the handling in this car is exceptional. This car is just plain fun to drive!. This is the best handling car I've ever owned and I enjoy getting behind the wheel every time I do."

"Available six cylinder engine is very responsive and fun to drive. Very good handling (plus great tires!) add to the fun. I will miss a "six" if/when I buy sometime new. To date, I had delayed a purchase for that reason."

"handling is pretty good but the motor could use a bit more power. to match acceleration to the handling capabilities of the vehicle."

"V6 6 is responsive and handling has been great even when I had two blow outs on same side of car."

"Acceleration and handling is excellent. Fun to drive."

"Handles much better than the average vehicle. Much like a high end European car."

"Precision driving"

"I live in the mountains and I think the handling is outstanding. Fun sometimes too."

"I love how when I put my foot to the pedal it moves. I feel this is really a safety thing for me, because it can help me get pass semi trucks, get out of other drivers' way, etc. This car can really move when you want it too."

"After. Installing far better tires than stock the handling improved beyond my expectations. It is equal to and rivals other cars in a V6 configuration. The handling suffers little from over and understeer. No other aftermarket equipment installed."

"Without the A/C on the acceleration is swift and crisp. With the A/C it really pushes the transmission into lower gears for the same rate of acceleration."

"great feel"

"Best handling car I have ever owned; partly because of superior tires. Four cylinder engine has plenty of power to satisfy me."

"Great pickup and very easy handling"

"the car is very bad at acceleration to the point that it is dangerous when merging onto a highway"

"transmission seems to hesitate, skip or otherwise jerk when first put in motion. It was "reflashed" twice while under warranty and didn't improve performance. We now just let it warm up and deal with the issues."

"Smooth shifting (6-speed automatic), adequate acceleration, steers well through curves, easy cruise control, comfortable ride."

"It is a joy to drive. Handling is superb. Acceleration is more than satisfactory."

"I like that my car feels “in the road‿. I trust it when accelerating, cornering, and braking. It’s a pleasure to drive"

"It is a 4 cylinder and was amazed at the acceleration and handling. Fun car to drive."

"Car accelerated with no problem with the V-6 and handles as well as if no better than many more expensive vehicles"

"It handles well at freeway speeds."

"The 2012 Ford Fusion has exceptional acceleration and handling! Smooth ride and quick!!"

"The cornering ability is great with little to no body roll in turns. Acceleration is adequate and braking is great. Overall a fun car to drive."

"Have the Sport version with 3.5 V6. Excellent acceleration and handling."

"ACCELERATION FROM THE 2.1 ENGINE IS GOOD UP TO 40 BUT REQUIRES THE ELECTRIC ASSIST GETTING UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ONCE THERE CHANGES IN SPEED ARE EASILY HANDLED. HANDLING IS WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM A MORE EXPENSIVE CAR."

"Very good handling and accelaration"

"As I stated earlier I like the it handles on the trips I have taken. It cruises well at 80-85 mph, and at that speed my gas milage doesn't hardly seem to suffer much at all (30 miles per galleon usually). The road noise is not bad, but I know compared to higher price cars (Caddies, etc) it may not be as good. I always have the air on during trips so the wind noise isn't a problem. I do like the way it handles, and there have been several times on a trip I have had to make emergency maneuvers with it at higher than posted speeds. The new Michelin tires I bought for it (using your recommendations) have made the handling even better it seems. It has enough power to merge onto the highways well and to pass other vehicles as well. However, if you are on a real steep mountain it does work hard to do it (pass a car). I will say the engine is noisier than I would like it to be at times. Overall, to me it has been a good car........so far."

"It drives quite well. However, with the lower powered I-4 the A/C needs turned off if I need to accelerate when passing or entering the freeway to get the full power."

"wonderful road handling and gas mileage plus overall visibility"

"Acceleration is good for the standard 2.5 engine."

"Excellent acceleration and handling."

"Very persice Handling"

"electronic steering system malfunctioned, causing loss of power steering. steering was very difficult. required recall to repair malfunction. service code noted on dash."

"Ford made a big mistake dropping the ranger good luck marking up for lost market with the 2019 Remake"

"Compared to other cars in the same class, it handles well. Plenty of power for acceleration."

"Transmission is somewhat jerky during acceleration."

"Handles very well, good acceleration and braking"

"Available 6 cyl. allows outstanding acceleration. Apparently no longer available in current models! Handling is very good also, very pleased."

"I drive it with determined purpose and the car works just fine. Putting better tires on made a Hugh difference. Handling, acceleration,braking were all substantially improved. Old style wipers don't last but work extremely well.The newer style wipers are to expensive and don't work any better."

"The four cylinder is a little slow to merge into traffic."

"The car accelerates very well on the highway and handles much better than you would expect for a sedan. My previous car was a chevy impala & it handled like a boat."

"No,pep,"

"When the car is cold, especially with the hills around my house, the 1-2 or 2-3 shift seems to hang. repeated trips to dealers have only reported no errors or "That is normal". I wonder what they will say when the warranty is up?"

"The acceleration isn't bad for it being a 4 cylinder but it seems to be a bit under powered for my liking"

"When taking off from a standstill, on a slight incline, the tires spin without gripping. It is worse if the roads are slick. When the trunk is full and/or the back seat has three adults the vehicle handling and acceleration is much different than when only two people are in the car."

"Expensive to repair directional lights"

"Slow/pokey in early gears, unlike the 2012 model."

"The 4 cyl engine is a little underpowered for the car with a full load of passengers and a/c on."

"Good acceleration from the 3.0 L V6. A resonable compromise between ride and handling."

"The TurboBoost feature makes the four-cylinder engine "pop" when needing to accelerate to get onto a freeway."

"When you "punch" the accelerator to pass another car or get away from a specific situation, the car often hesitates for a second. Maintenance people say it's normal."

"I very much like driving the car because of the visibility out the windshield and being able to see the front end of the car. Also the lights for blind spot traffic in the side mirrors and good simple graphics for the backup camera provide comfort level in driving. It handles well and is a good ride for road trips."

"Not enough pick-up for highway passing"

"Transmission is very slow to pick up."

"acceleration is not what I want at times"

"Handles well but engine/transmission somewhat lacking even for a 4 cylinder."

"Everything works and the car drives very smoothly. Dealer refused to honor warranty on a spotted piece of the grill work and a faulty low tire pressure indicator which still is on constantly after four years."

"Nice V6 good acceleration and competent handling"

"very responsive handling and excellent acceleration. Better than several cars I test drove"

"Sometimes acceleration seems sluggish."

"hugs the road well"

"PLUS the six speed trans is a great match with the 4 cyl engine. MINUS Shifting down automatically when going down hill is not gas conserving."

"Good acceleration for a 2.5 L four-cylinder."

"very good acceleration, handling and riding comfort"

"great handling and very quick."

"handlinng and emergency handling are very good. Acceleration is so-so despite the 3.0 L V6 engine"

"My Fusion handles corners like a dream. It's very stable on the road and it excellerates quite well. I feel very safe in my Fusion. It's the best car I have ever owned."

"The 6!is smooth and quiet compared to 4"

"Handling is exceptional. With the electronic stability control, it does well on icy streets."

"My son loves the quick and sustained acceleration."

"See above"

"A very solid vehicle, I never worry about a trip or the handling while driving. Responds well."

"If I had it to do over, I would sacrifice the fuel efficiency of the 4 cylinder for the acceleration of the 6 cylinder."

"It handles and accelerates like a sports car. And 35 mpg on a trip makes me smile."

"Handles well. Nice drive but wish acceleration was better."

"Easy to drive with good acceleration and braking"

"Fun car to drive. Feels like a sports car. Very good acceleration. MPG not as good as the Camry."

"Fun and easy to drive. Love this car."

"Seats are very comfortable. Too much wheel/tire related road noise. Ride is OK but not outstanding."

"Most comfortable car I ever had. Heated seats are wonderful. Passengers comment on how comfortable it is. Ride is very smooth."

"high road noise on bad roads"

"The seats are very comfortable. The ride and noise level are both OK, not great."

"The 8-way adjustable seats are great!"

"Seats not much cushion, uncomfortable for long rides."

"The seats need a little bit more badding. Uncomfortable when your driving for awhile."

"While I love it, the car could be a bit quieter...and though the seat controls are better than average, I was spoiled by the Lincoln seat controls on both front seats and wish my Fusion had the same."

"Driving position is very comfortable"

"Ergonomic fit for me is perfect. Car is relatively quiet and ride is a good balance between handling and comfort."

"Last great 6 Cylinder Fusion"

"Comfortable"

"Very comfortable seats with convenient controls. The cars ride is pretty quiet and good feel on the road"

"annoying noise"

"The multiple adjustments to the front seats make them very comfortable for long drives. Getting in and out is a bit of a chore for an aging 6' 2" person. Headroom with the sunroof is a bit tight, but the car is still very quiet and rides well. A pleasure to take on long trips."

"Excellent value for midsize car. Very comfortable and handles very well. Fun to drive. Only other vehicle I wouild replace it with would be the Lincoln MKZ."

"Very quiet interior, driver's seat is comfortable. Have received repeated complaints from senior citizens that the front passenger seat is difficult to get into and out of."

"Headrest is uncomfortable"

"Passenger door will no longer close all the way, creating a very noisy ride. The passenger seat side panel has come off. 2 adults ride in this car and do not abuse it."

"the car is noisy when driving on the hyway and the seats get uncomfortable after a short distance"

"It is noisy and the seats are not comfortable. I am very short but my average-taller passengers do not like it. My daughter drove it to Indiana twice and when she needed a new vehicle, after a deer totaled her Buick sedan, she got a Toyota RAV4.There is a lot of road noise in there Ford Fusion. There are not enough adjustments on the drivers side for seat height etc."

"VERY COMFORTABLE SEATS WITH PADDING AND FULL BODY SUPPORT. NOISE FROM THE ENGINE IS NOISY BUT ALMOST SILENT IN ELECTRIC. THE RIDE IS NIMBLE WITH GOOD SPEED CHANGES."

"Joy to drive"

"Comfort and ride are very nice. I'm taller than average, and wished it had more legroom on long drives, but overall very happy."

"Very comfortable seats, quiet cab, rides nicely."

"Though my 2012 Fusion is the SEL “luxury‿ model, the ride quality, seat comfort, and interior noise are vastly inferior to the 2013 Fusion SE model. The redeeming quality is the handling of the 2012 is much better than my 2013 model. The cornering ability is great with little to no body roll in turns."

"heat"

"I can drive all day and feel completely comfortable. Also, I can get in and out without hitting my head on the door frame."

"Driver seat has adjustable lumbar support and electric controls, very comfortable. Passenger seat lacks this, lumbar support is poor."

"Adjustable lumbar support"

"Seat controls, up and down and firmness. Smooth ride."

"You can drive for a long time and feel comfortable. Seats are leather and easy to clean"

"Power eats are very comfortable; they can be adjusted in many different combinations"

"The seating is very comfortable but the driver's seat does not rise far enough for me (I am 5"6" tall). I bought a thick seat cushion and use it all the time. The internal noise level is very good at any speed except on rough pavement. The ride quality is excellent."

"Seats are very comfortable in this vehicle, even on very long all-day rides. Road noise is quiet, and the ride is the most luxurious suspension of all our family vehicles."

"The seats are really hard to get out of. They are rigid and have a high side so it is like sitting in a bowl. A friend said it was like "trying to get out of a black hole.""

"Can,t see approaching traffic from the right rear as it is blocked by the headrest"

"Seats are higher up and not too soft and not too hard--just right."

"Ride is a bit stiff and head support is too aggressive."

"Excellent miles per gallon"

"The seats have lumbar support which is nice driving long distance. The seats are heated which I hope is nice in the winter. Plenty of leg room in the driver area. Have an electric seat."

"Nice leather seats, and good amount of leg room. But car is noisy."

"On the highway the ride is wonderful, very smooth and rides like a larger car."

"The seats, although adjustable, seem too low in the vehicle. I am somewhat tall however at 6'2", so adjusting the seat higher puts my head in the ceiling, leading to the more comfortable position at a low position, leaving me with poor posture."

"Ride and road stability are excellent."

"Climate controls and comfort are exemplary. It is very quiet when windows up. Outstanding control with AWD."

"Overall the ride is comfortable, quiet and the car handles very well. Rear legroom is more than adequate."

"ride and A/C"

"Excellent ride and handling very comfortable on long trips. Gas milage improves drastically on interstate driving. I have registered 36 mpg at 70 MPH."

"gas mileage very bad and and controls are hard to use and understand and ford dealer was not helpful; and did not seem to care"

"The front passenger window/door area rattles at freeway speeds. It is an intermittent problem and the cause cannot be determined."

"I wish the dealer told me after the second recall for steering column replacement that i needed an alignment immediately, or that should have been provided immediately. My alignment was way out and now I may need to buy 4 new tires again."

"Head rests push head down extremely far so that it is impossible to drive safely (looking down at chest not out windshield). After having to see a doctor for physical neck problems resulting from this posture and constantly forcing head back, had to remove the head rest so that now there is no safety protection from it."

"I have The passenger seat is not easy to exit from because of the way it slants towards the back. The driver's seat is hard for me to adjust so that I feel comfortable. The headrest on the driver's side seems as tho it is right against my head."

"This car is EXTREMELY comfortable. It is very quiet and rides very well. Climate control is OK; takes a bit to warm up or cool down, but probably not an extensive amount of time."

"The ride on the highway for this car is excellent, much like how larger sedans ride."

"seats are too narrow. Car is not very comfortable for long trips. Difficult to get in and out of car"

"quite, comfort"

"Rattles too much. Climate control occasionally fails, probably due to outside temperature thermometer not updating."

"Easiest car to drive I have ever driven. Comfortable, tremendous value, great gas mileage."

"We're mostly satisfied with the Fusion except for the climate control. It is difficult to see and reach the buttons for fan speed, defrost etc."

"Seats are not comfortable. Road noise is very high. Ride is way too firm, jouncy."

"It is rather noisy on highway driving although not nearly as noisy as the Honda. I wish I could direct the airflow from the vents higher so it could not blow on me and would cool the passengers in the rear seat better."

"If you're 6' or taller, your head is going to be banging on the roof."

"AC vents have limited adjustment availability."

"Tire noise is too high"

"The seats are generally good, however the head restraints touch the back of my head (regardless of height) unless I lean the seat back and lean forward. Also, the top of the seat curve forward on the edges pressing on the edges of my shoulders encouraging me to sit in a slouching position, unless I lean the seat back and lean forward."

"Passenger front seat needs more adjustments. Car body low. Scrapes on curbs"

"Seating is very comfortable. Have not had any expense other than normal routine maintenance."

"No problem, but I am a bit overwhelmed with all the electronic sophistication."

"My Fusion has leather seats which concerned me, but I love them. I drive my Fusion back and forth to Florida two times a year over lots of different terrains. It handles very well. I love the dual controls for the heat/ac. Passengers can adjust their own comfort. I love the back up camera!!!!"

"I, the wife, sit in the front passenger seat, and it is so uncomfortable. But my husband was not looking for comfort in that seat when he bought the car. Also the air conditioner is so cold/ No matter where you aim it, it always seems to blow right on you."

"Last year for this generation and they got the problems (if any) cleared up. Mine is an SEL 6 cyl and is extremely comfortable and seating spacious for 5. Ride is excellent and I keep getting compliments from any passengers. Individual climate controls, rear camera, warning lights on side mirrors. Steel blue metallic with ginger leather seats top off a beautiful package in my estimation."

"Seats and ergonomics are perfect for me"

"The front passenger seat headrest will put a short person's chin in their chest. Purchased a factory headrest that was to correct this problem, it DID NOT! Break lights burn-out often. Bulb plug-in is burnt, dealer said that was normal."

"seats are amazing better than any we have had in any car. noise level is low. ride is very compliant and handling is accurate"

"styling"

"The seats are comfortable. The ride is very smooth and it is quiet."

"Everything is totally average. This Fusion excels at nothing."

"Seats are very good in this car. I hope I can make it last a long time."

"Very solid and comfortable. Great seats and upholstery and as quiet a ride as I have ever had."

"Very smooth ride and good support"

"The seats hug you nicely with no pressure points"

"overall, very quiet comfortable drive. After long drives, do not feel fatigued. seats are very comfortable"

"Noise, noise, noise! When I left the dealership to drive from Tn to Ca the car was OK. 30 miles later I could not hear the radio because of the road noise. The pavement went from asphalt to concrete and the noise level quadrupled."

"Great lumbar support, I have the upgraded interior. Noise is low. Amazing ride and comfort even after 75000 miles"

"Very nice ride extremely comfortable"

"My 6' tall son drives this and the head rests fit perfectly. Also my son is longer in the body and my husband is longer in the leg. Both men are able to adjust the fit to easily be comfortable."

"Seats are comfortable and noise level is low."

"The 2012 Fusion has been an amazing car. My husband usually gets a new car every three years but he is so happy with the Fusion that the has now had it for 6 years."

"I feel it has been a good value for the money I paid for it.I have not had any major problems with it as yet. I had research the car before I bought it and at the time it was a recommended buy from also all of the sources I used, including word of month. The gas milage is a little less than I was used to from a previous car I had owned. I only on rare occasion wished I had bought the v6 instead of the four, but in all honesty it isn't needed (the larger engine). I have enjoyed the way the car performs on the highway on long trips. It handles good, rides good, and cruises good at 80-85 mph. If you use this information....delete my last name please."

"Has performed well. Continues to accelerate well."

"It’s our 2cd one. They last a long time."

"Excellent value. Great handling and ride. Comfortable all around."

"Mileage is very good for the size of the car. I have not had any problems with this Fusion. It has been a worry free car."

"Easy to park. However, I have had to have two things replaced already, most recently, a real signal light. Mine is AWD and over a year ago it was leaking oil and I had to get "something" replaced as, according to my son, this is common in AWD vehicles."

"mileage"

"We have gotten great mileage for a car this size and have had very few problems with it, all minor and routine stuff. We felt like we paid a lot for it initially, but got state-of-the art options at the time. Most were worth the money including the hybrid, backup camera and warning, heated seats, navigation, etc."

"Excellent value. Car has been great mechanically as well."

"This was probably the best value and the best buying experience I have ever had. Salesperson we had at All American Ford in NJ was not only nonaggressive, he was almost too laid back. Ford gave an instant rebate called "private cash" in addition to the negotiated discount, which I did not expect."

"Over all much better then the new fusion"

"A great all around sedan. A crime that Ford is getting out of this market segment. I'd put it in the same category as many higher end vehicles I've driven including BMW and Lexus. Of course the nameplate on these other two will run you 10-15K more for a base model."

"Reliable vehicle, minimal repair. Gets me where I'm going."

"Car was extremely affordable. Surprisingly good value."

"This is overall a very good car with high end features and provides good value for the performance and comfort"

"I got an amazing deal on my Ford at my local dealer, actually less than what was considered a "great deal" by Consumer Reports and other sources."

"Purchased via Costco buying plan. Not so impressed with Costco auto buying plan, but the Ford dealership buying experience was unusually pleasant. We also were very skeptical about Ford's index card offering us a couple of thousand dollars in "Ford Private Cash" rebate. Yet, we were pleasantly shocked to learn that this was an instant rebate off the price of this vehicle. We were also surprised at the level of luxury features in this most basic Fusion model!"

"Good value for money, but very expensive repair required on Evap purge valve."

"I got a very good deal because I bought at the end of 2012 and a new model was scheduled for 2013."

"Good value, pre owned"

"A very nice car so far."

"I purchased as a Ford certified previously owned vehicle with only 5,000 miles on the car yet saved about $12,000 off the price with a better warranty that I would've gotten on a new car."

"The price of the car was way below what we expected to pay going to the dealer, and we continue to comment about just how much of a bargain the vehicle was. It certainly adds to our appreciation of everything else about the car."

"Dependable"

"Drives great, comfortable, dependable"

"Got the fusion at the end of the 2012 model run so got a great deal on the SEL with all the options. The car has been very dependable and trouble free."

"Brand new only $20,400!"

"Purchase price was, in my opinion, incredibly low for the amount of car we got. And car has been very reliable, meaning the total cost of ownership has been quite low."

"There were a number of warranty repairs on this vehicle"

"Still love the lines. No issues at all."

"Compact comfortable clean looking"

"The exterior"
