Ford Fusion Change Vehicle

"Acceleration is weaker than expected."

"Rear shocks are weak, likely they are the same as the non-hybrid car, and don't control the extra weight of the batteries in the trunk. The exhaust sound, when going up steep grades, sounds very agricultural"

"It has been a good, reliable car that gives a very nice ride."

"They are great: responsive, powerful, controlled. Holds road well."

"The driving feels tight and responsive and it hugs the road and curves. For a larger sedan, it feels much more sporty than others we considered and has better acceleration."

"Handles like a sports car"

"For a family style car, the handling is better than expected. The acceleration is adequate for a hybrid but its nothing to get excited about."

"We still enjoy driving a hybrid and enjoy the challenge of getting the highest MPG."

"It moves right out when I need to and is a comfortable car to ride in"

"Handling is as good or better than I need it to be. With the right foot planted, it accelerates quite well, but at lower speeds, the CVT makes the car feel a bit disconnected. The hybrid system mitigates this somewhat compared to non-hybrid CVT cars I have driven. The A-pillars are way too wide. I need to dart my head back & forth to see around them too often."

"Good handling"

"Good acceleration and handling."

"The vehicle accelerates strongly and handles as well as my previous European vehicles. Emergency response and braking are very good."

"handeling is exceptional, acceleration is mediocre but its va hybrid"

"Very quick for a hybrid, it drives like a eurosport sedan, I enjoy my commute in the car. It looks good on the outside and is nicely appointed on the inside.."

"Good - The 2.0L Turbo has enough power for this car to get up to speed nice and quick. Handling is good, feels very secure on the road. Bad - Transmission is poor in two specific ways: 1) On acceleration from a stopped position, if you do not give it enough gas, the automatic transmission struggles to shift smoothly out of first and second. I have never This is a ford thing, as I have not experienced this with any other make. 2) When in high gear, doing 100+ kph, if you hit the accelerator hard (ie. to pass), the transmission responds with a large clunk which jars the vehicle, before it gives you some power. This is scary at first and frustrating after. This is the only major negative with my fusion, and it may just be my specific car, but I would be hesitant to buy another Fusion (or similarly equipped Ford) because of this issue."

"The 2.0L turbo engine offers plenty of power when needed."

"I rely on the adaptive cruise control to maneuver through traffic. I love the way it speeds up and slows down automatically as I come up on cars ahead of me or change lanes."

"Accelerates well and handles well."

"The acceleration is very responsive."

"Our hybrid Ford has been very responsive....just like a gas engine."

"quality, styling comfort, handling, fuel economy"

"Best driving auto We have owned. Very good acceleration and hugs curves like some sports cars."

"handles well, good miles per gallon"

"Although it's a four cyclinder, the acceleration is more than I usually need. It also handles very well when cornering and braking."

"Handling is outstanding, like European cars I have previously owned, MB, Jag, Porsche....."

"Great acceleration and good handling. Feels more like a high performance car than I expected."

"Acceleration is very impressive from a stop, highway passing is also very impressive. The hybrid system works very well and adapts to driving habits. Highway mileage does suffer due to the engine having to run for longer periods, mountain passes especially. City driving with the hybrid system is flawless, however different driving habits need to be leaned, for the better to attain maximum fuel saving. Handling is better than expected, not a sports car by any means but provides positive feedback while cornering and is predictable with inputs through the steering wheel."

"FUSION IS TUBO CHARGED AND PROVIDES EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE"

"Handling is great, seems exceptional for a family sedan. Acceleration with the 1.6L “ecoboost‿ engine is underwhelming but gets the job done."

"When you need some passing speed the turbo charging system can give you an extra 15-20mph in a couple of seconds."

"The 2.0 liter turbo engine has great acceleration, but we continue to get superior gas mileage. The car is a little sensitive with lane movement warnings."

"I like the power and the handling of the all wheel drive in the snow"

"Acceleration and handling is okay. One time a few years ago the engine cut off by itself and I couldn't stop the car. It was frightening."

"Really good road grip, comfortable steering. Plenty of power for highway cruising and passing"

"I bought this car for the fuel economy. Initially rated at 47 mpg, Ford adjusted the mpg to 42 and compensated us for the expected additional expense. That was a disappointment , but Ford handled it well. The car has exceeded all other expectations. While not quick by any means, it is a quiet, comfortable road trip cruiser and more than able commuter. And for a car this solid and large, 42 mpg is a not a bad result."

"Fast acceleration than my v-8s"

"Very good handling and good acceleration."

"The larger engine allows great acceleration and handling; however, it does have a blind spot when backing up"

"Even with a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine, our Fusion is zippy (how do we judge zippiness? We have a hotrod with 450 horsepower and are still impressed with the Fusion's responsiveness) and the handling feels as good as my friend's BMW."

"Steering is precise and has great feedback to the driver. Handling is instantly responsive and feels very secure and predictable."

"Excellent experience in accident avoidance with brakes and steering."

"Considering the engine is only 1.6l, albeit turbocharged, the acceleration and power are very impressive. Even more impressive is the car's handling on twisty hilly valley roads."

"The car has stalled twice now. Everything goes dead. I have to stop, put it in park, and restart the car."

"The acceleration and throttle response are outstanding - amazing power and smoothness from a four cylinder."

"I originally was looking for a hybrid, but when I experienced the power of the 2 liter turbo, I knew that was a trade off worth making. Handling is better than other makes I've rented, or had rides in..."

"Easy to drive"

"Visibility through rear window is limited"

"This 2.0L I4 GDTI engine is very strong and peppy. Plenty of acceleration from a stop and for when passing. However, from a stop, rapid acceleration has a tendency to pull hard to the right. Not a huge issue if you are actively driving with both hands on the steering wheel. But the first couple of times it happens it can be surprising, so be engaged."

"The ENERGI plug in electric has been eye opening how well an all electric power train can work. Most days I use no fuel at all, and pay no penalty in any other aspect of normal driving. The small truck can have moments that its annoying, but thats what we have a small SUV for."

"For a 2.0 with eco boost it has very quick acceleration, and handles very will in panic situations. And I love the adaptive cruise control"

"I've always driven bigger trucks or SUVs and this car is making me love cars. It handles great and has a TON of power considering it has half the cylinders I'm used to."

"Easy handling, great back-up cameras, side sensors and side mirror sensors, especially since there are definitely blind spots when backing out of a spot and when cars are approaching in traffic lanes on each side. Back-up parking sensors and guides on the dash monitor are great easy to use tools."

"car pulls to right on uneven surfaces."

"Good acceleration and handling"

"field of vision is unsafe. Very hard to see out. I can not park my car without moving back and forth. Impossible when trying to enter an rotary and see on comming cars."

"Lots of power coupled with fuel economy"

"High performance and low reliability"

"Acceleration is a little laggy"

"The acceleration with 2.0l Ecoboost is impressive. It is very quick and nimble for a sedan. The engine is very smooth and the throttle response is excellent."

"The turbo charge is great. When you want to accelerate to pass this car will get you there."

"Poor mpg 24 combined overall and only adequate power."

"Very good acceleration and handling"

"With the 2.0 turbo, the Fusion has great acceleration. There is plenty of power when we need it, but the car still manages to average 27.5 mpg. The car is fun to drive and handles really well."

"Quick acceleration is jerky and discomforting - as if the transmission is going to break into pieces."

"It rides very smoothly and has a relatively quiet interior. Acceleration is very good and so smooth that you can think you are doing 30-45 mph and look down and find you ate speeding at 60"

"Poor acceleration. Hesitates, car does not respond to accelerator. Press hard on accelerator, but the car takes seconds to begin moving faster. It revs the engine, then a second later slams into a lower gear. Very harsh. Break pedal is very sensitive. Hard to make smooth stops at all speeds. Engine randomly turns off soon after putting car in gear."

"sharp steering, flat cornering is terrific"

"Long haul comfort. Doesn't leave you with feeling uncomfortable after many hours.."

"Everything is good, comfortable, etc except I feel like I'm sitting low in the passenger compartment and have no idea where the front or rear of the car in relationship to outside stuff. I have to rely on rear sensors/backup camera when backing and the Force when going forward."

"Sits high overall good forward vision, quiet, ride is ok"

"Very quiet ride. Very comfortable. No complaints regarding seats, noise, ride"

"The doors are not well sealed against the dust from the gravel road I live on."

"The seats are comfortable and adjustable. I like that the seats are a little higher and can be heated. The ride is smooth and not bouncy. The noise level when driving is reasonable."

"I would like to have less road noise coming into the cabin. It is not as annoying as in other cars. Reviews or cars by consumers Reports could so better in pointing out this factor. The only other complaint I have is the ingress/egress factor. I am only 5ft. 7in. tall but I still have to crunch up to get in or out of the car."

"Seats are very comfortable and support the driver. Fits like a glove."

"Good - Overall ride comfort is very high: noise is low, suspension is good, seats are comfortable. Actually fun to drive with upgraded 2.0L Turbo engine. Bad - Bumps in the road are not absorbed very well with low-profile tires fitted."

"10 adjustable driver seat. All seats are very comfortable and spacious"

"Acceleration is lacking and when gasoline engine is in use at more than very light acceleration it is harsh, noisy and rough."

"Comfortable but cloth material shows wrinkles after almost 6 years"

"I find the interior quite comfortable, even on long drives. I don’t notice the noise. The ride is good on highways, but the is at times uncomfortably stiff on rough city streets."

"Seat are comfortable and car is quiet except under hard acceleration. Hybrid engine is a bit noisy under hard use"

"comfortable, quiet, and good road feel."

"It isn't as quiet as I expected. The ride could be smoother."

"Car has a sporty ride and handling. Love it. Even though it is a hybrid it has a good amount of acceleration and power. Looks great! Much better than a Prius."

"seats could be much better"

"The passenger seat has limited adjustments. It cannot be raised or lowered. On long drives, the seats can be uncomfortable. The car is quiet and the ride is smooth."

"The best riding car I have ever owned"

"The seating area of the driver is not built for a tall man. It's a bit cramped and my knees rub on the console. My wife loves it though."

"for $20,000 the front passenger seat should have the ability to be adjusted as the drivers seat ."

"ride and handling very good"

"Stylish. Fuel Economy Reliability Handling"

"The seats are very comfortable, the noise level very low and the ride comfortable too"

"Very comfortable seats with lots of adjust-ability, position memory is a great idea. Cabin is very quiet in the city or on the highway, road noise is never an issue. Ride is comfortable with positive feedback while cornering"

"We find the Fusion to be exceptionally comfortable and it is very smooth and quiet."

"Flexible for tall and short"

"Passenger front seat not comfortable, head rest hard to adjust. More noisy than expected."

"Car has started to develop a decent amount of squeaks. Used to be a very quiet car"

"Good seats and ride"

"My wife loves the heated seats and excellent A/C in the vehicle"

"Quietest car I’ve ever been in Memory seats"

"When driving at a high speed, cannot open one window as the sound from tires is extremely bad and irritating. Doesn't make a difference which window."

"The stock ride is fairly good, but I have 16 inch wheels/tires for my winter tires and they ride just as well as the 17 inch all seasons. This leads me to believe that 16inch all-seasons would ride even better. The engine drone is a little elevated due to the CVT, but accelerating on battery alone is joyful. I wish it could stay on battery longer. Ford has an issue with seat design. This car, as well as my mother's 2013 Fiesta has seats that are too narrow and have side bolsters that are too high. My 2007 Focus's seats are better."

"Never want low profile tires again"

"The seats are not comfortable on a long trip-anything over 200 miles the seats get uncomfortable"

"The seats fit me, but not my husband. The ride is not as quiet or smooth as our 1998 Camry"

"I feel like I'm sitting in a cockpit, where the seat conforms to my body position. I felt the same comfort in a Ford Mustang."

"No road noise, great handling, good acceleration"

"The climate control doesn't seem to work well at all. No matter what temperature I put the controls on, it seems like the AC is always on."

"Passanger seat too low. not very quiet when riding too much highway road noise.Car dosen't take bumps in road very well.Gas tank still very noisey you can hear gas surging between full & half."

"Seats are not very comfortable over 2 hours at a time. Driver seat also seems to heat up during summer driving."

"It's a great car all around."

"Driver seat could be more comfortable, supportive, positioned lower. Steering wheel could have more adjustment"

"the front seats are a little tight with none support under the knees area. Also gas mileage falls short of what is stated upon the window sticker."

"The vehicle is very comfotable, however, within the first 18 months, I noticed it was riding rough. Moreover they could have done a better job with the electronic dash. It's not very user friendly and takes several steps to find what you need. Ex., the navigation system. Ford overestimated their mileage for this vehicle and I must say, I was honestly impressed with the way they handled the situation! They refunded me the expected mileage that I wouldn't have gotten! I feel the interior/exterior"

"I'm very short so the power seat is very adaptable and comfortable for my size-5 ft., 100 lbs."

"bucket non driver seat is to low and not electric."

"The car sits very low. Getting in & out requires great body contortion."

"Well equipped Visability is lacking"

"Drivers seat ever comfortable easy to get out of. Passenger seat somewhat comfortable but more difficult to get out of. Rear seats comfortable with good leg room 4 size of car"

"bumpy ride, a/c and/or heating noisy."

"Seats are fully adjustable and extremely comfortable. Good for a tall person like myself. Car handles like a sport car."

"The seats are "large enough" to permit "moving" inm my seat."

"Smooth and quiet ride"

"Most comfortable ride and seats I have ever owned"

"The headrest fits perfectly on my neck allowing me to reduce back strain."

"Our Fusion has very comfortable seats, very responsive steering, very quiet ride and excellent temperature control."

"seats and accelaration"

"The searing area is somewhat compromised by the console"

"They all work very well. No complaints. Even the Ford Synch system works fine for me."

"Back seat padding is fairly thin. The road noise in the cabin of this car is very low."

"Excellent long distance cruiser. Active noise cancelling nearly eliminates outside noise. the suspension rivals expensive European/Japanese cars. The Navigation system is excellent, and contrary to some reports, is very easy to use."

"Front passenger seat sits too low."

"Seat on passenger side is too low and does not have enough adjustments on se model."

"Console sticks out into the drivers leg and foot room. It is okay for a short distance but I start to get claustrophobic after 15 minutes or so. I also find that the A-pillars tend to block my vision at 2 and 10 o'clock"

"Has a good ride seats are good"

"Quiet, not tiring to drive on long trips and very comfortable."

"The fusion is so comfortable on long drives. The seats are roomy and plush,and there is plenty of leg room front and back. The ride is smooth without being to mushy. I would say the only thing that I really don't care for is the steering wheel controls. They are awkward not very ergonomic. I have the escape with the paddles on the steering wheel. Everything is smooth and flowing with no need to look at what you are doing."

"For a relatively heavy car, the fusion seems to have more window air noise on the passenger side than other similar-sized cars. The dealer has been unable to address this. There have been many minor hardware problems inside the car- clothes hangers, plastic covers, windows not totally closing. The seats are too V-shaped bucket seats, there is no lumbar support, and the headrest is too far forward on the passenger seat. The driver's seat is adjustable with lumbar support so is comfortable wi..."

"the touch screen is cumbersome and distracting while driving"

"Ride"

"Seating is plush but passenger side too low"

"I thought I got a good sized car with style, decent gas mileage and comfort for a reasonable price."

"In the suburban area I live in, the plug-in hybrid has been the perfect vehicle. Everything is relatively close to our house and so I can drive months without using any gasoline at all but when we make a long trip I still get about 45mpg in hybrid mode."

"Great gas mileage and nice car to drive."

"My wife's Fusion has been a very good, dependable car. She has had very little service/repair problems."

"Got the top of the line fusion. has all the upscale items of a car with a much higher price tag. Adaptive cruse control, heated steering wheel, lane control, heated seates, auto headligts & wipers."

"The trip and comfort I would score very high. For the year of the vehicle the trip package with the interior is as nice or better than most mid range luxury brands at half the cost."

"love it with the 6 speed manual even though you have to pay extra to get it. Excellent mpg and comfort"

"I bought the hybrid when gas was over $3/gal at a $5K premium - when gas prices dropped I lost my projected savings. Also, the car was originally rated at 47 mpg and I'm getting 40 but Ford did give me around a $1500 rebate since they mis-advertised the mileage."

"It is very reliable and fun to drive."

"The mileage is very close to what was advertised and the styling of the car has not changed since 2013. It still looks new even compared to many newer cars on the road."

"I love this car and all it's automated and safety features."

"Most value for a stylish, responsive economical car."

"WE thought it was a good purchase price but this is the model that had SIX recalls, major and minor. The trouble and worry far outweigh the price."

"Excellent value for the money spent on the car"

"Got the SE model but with the all the bells and whistles at a price I could afford."

"been very reliable good service and excellent handling"

"Great price for the features"

"I find the auto very reliable and the finish has held up well . Good transportation but since I have been retired the entire time I have owed this car the issue of having to drive in ice and snow has been taken off the table ."

"This vehicle had much more and was less than similar vehicles of the same year"

"We love the car."

"I found it was a little on the high side (but was very grateful to get it so quickly after we lost both our cars due to super-storm Sandy) after hearing of the much lower costs a year later. I love the car and all the features except the gas mileage is somewhat higher. Great touring car on the road."

"Wish I got more safety options. Needs auto braking"

"Hybrid model that gets outstanding gas mileage. 48.3 mpg on last tank. That is using miles driven divided by gallons used for fill up"

"Purchased new for $18,749."

"I feel the fusion is a much better auto all around than a Taurus and others and look at the price difference"

"Vehicle has not held its value very well."

"Plenty of safety and comfort features that whose value was unexpected at the time of purchase. Automatic high beams should be mandatory. The price point for the Titanium put the Fusion well below the prices asked for a premium midsized car from other brands."

"Excellent value given the competition. Vehicle is loaded like a luxury car, but was purchased at a much lower price point. Excellent and comfortable commuter vehicle."

"Performance and handling, looks. Best car I ever bought. Feel very safe in this car."

"I like the auto's style"

"I think the value I got with this vehicle to be pretty high. I haven't had a serious issue with it yet I'm at 220K and have only done the rear breaks and shocks. I have about 40% life left in the original front brakes."

"Great all around car for the money. Exceeded my expectations"

"Great amount of features for the price. Could use 2 more mpg."

"A very nice car for the price."

"Very positive experiences"

"Only averaging 24 mpg for this vehicle, while our AWD Subaru Legacy is averaging 32 mpg. What is going on?"

"I bought the base SE model with zero options. even so this car has excellent stereo, power windows doors and lock and keyless entry."

"Looks great"

"My teenage/adult kids hate riding in the back because the seats are low and it feels claustrophobic to them. The A/C for the back also does not work well/at all depending on the day."

"I've noticed that many of the competitive brands have copied the Ford styling, especially the grill."

"Beautiful profile. Black with black ltr interior. Always seem to get nice comments. Wish Ford would offer better wheel selection across all models."

"An attractive car that does not cause the teenage boys to turn their heads. I would prefer a station wagon Fusion which is available in Europe."

"Very stylish body shape. It still turns heads and looks great when cleaned up."

"The car looked good coming off the lot after purchase, and continues to get stares to this day. The paint is of high quality and really catches the eye."

"I love that from the front the car scowls at you instead of smiles at you."

"Looks modern"

"Visibility when turning VERY POOR because of the large pillars (?) between windshield and door."

"Styling is all good, would buy another if I had to replace it."

"Fantastic styling overall"
