What Owners Say
"Fun to drive with very responsive handling. Good milage but adequate acceleration when needed."

Tryg E., AK (2014 Ford Fusion)"The accelaeration is surprisingly good. That probably comes from the electric motor/engine combo."

Anonymous, PA (2014 Ford Fusion)"Good acceleration"
Anonymous, CA (2014 Ford Fusion)"Very sporty handling, flat cornering and smooth acceleration."
David L., CA (2014 Ford Fusion)"Plenty of power with ecoboost. Almost too much if you don't have control of the wheel and tire traction."
Anonymous, FL (2014 Ford Fusion)"I love the cruise control system, the way it can slow the car down in slow traffic and then back up to the set speed when traffic comes back to my speed. Also like the automatic breaking system to avoid collisions."

Michael E., MI (2014 Ford Fusion)"The acceleration is unbelievable. You do not realize how quickly you are accelerating."
Anonymous, IL (2014 Ford Fusion)"When step on the gas, can be slow to respond."
Anonymous, IA (2014 Ford Fusion)"1.5L turbo is too small for the size of the car so it can be sluggish in acceleration but for what the vehicle costs it returns great gas mileage. Car handles outstanding for what it is, a basic 4 door sedan. Fit and finish is excellent, car is solid and smooth, overall a great car"
Kenneth C., NJ (2014 Ford Fusion)"The acceleration in this car is very good. Even though it has a turbo four, it pulls like a V6. The handling on this car is also very secure. Kinda feels like a budget Audi almost."
Michael N., AZ (2014 Ford Fusion)"Very easy to drive. No issues with acceleration or handling"

Anonymous, IN (2014 Ford Fusion)"Very responsive in acceleration and handling. Smooth ride."
Anonymous, KY (2014 Ford Fusion)"Front end is mushy. Like a much older and heavier car. Handles ok on the open road but doesn't do well in sharp turns. Very sharp turns at slow speed can cause a whip lash effect."
Anonymous, FL (2014 Ford Fusion)"I'm a retired State Trooper. This car surprisingly handles like a Maserati in emergency situations."
Anonymous, TX (2014 Ford Fusion)"When needing to accelerate quickly (merging traffic example) there is a noticeable few seconds (2-3) while it is downshifting when the car actually seems to 'coast', does not accelerate."
Anonymous, MN (2014 Ford Fusion)"Excellent sitting position - car handles very well - one of the best cars I have ever driven"
Carl M., MA (2014 Ford Fusion)"Acceleration is good, handling is excellent, and regenerative braking (grade assist) is excellent."

Anonymous, TX (2014 Ford Fusion)"It has good acceleration and drives and handles very good."
Linda M., VA (2014 Ford Fusion)"Steers and tracks excellently; feels confident at speeds above 75. Most of my mileage is on highways w/ speed limits of 70-75. Engine (2.0 turbo) has good power and gives good mpg (just over 30) on highway at 70-75. Around town in stop and go mpg is not so good, sometimes only `17 or 18"
Joseph D., TX (2014 Ford Fusion)"Very nimble to drive. Acceleration could be better but ok with 1.5 l"
Anonymous, AZ (2014 Ford Fusion)"Smooth ride"
Anonymous, CO (2014 Ford Fusion)"Handles ell, but acceleration is so-so. Its a hybrid and not a sports car, so to be expected."
Anonymous, NY (2014 Ford Fusion)"Not since our Datsun 240 Z have we had such a good tracking car, holding the road so nicely. As we sought a good MPG car, we accept the modest, but adequate, acceleration."
R B., MA (2014 Ford Fusion)"Handling is excellent, wonderful safety features, very good acceleration and braking"
Anonymous, MI (2014 Ford Fusion)"The turbo is fun and it hugs the corners, so it's fun to drive."
Anonymous, MN (2014 Ford Fusion)"The styling is outstanding. Love the looks. The turbo really gets up and goes when you hit the gas pedal. Not afraid to get out and pass on a 2 lane road."
Charles W., MI (2014 Ford Fusion)"Although it is a hybrid, its acceleration immediate and strong. Hybrid control is very well programmed. So gasoline engine starts and stops smoothly and transparently. Fusion handles and corners like a race car. Brakes stop tenaciously - like throwing out an anchor - but are very controllable. Car does not drive like a hybrid (except for great gas mileage). It drives like an expensive, sporty luxury car (Jaguar comes to mind)."
Richard B., FL (2014 Ford Fusion)"Recall for clutch pressure plate fracture problem. Recall took time but was well done when parts came in. Left rear shock mount failed and needed to be replaced. Not a recall. Other recalls for stearing wheeel adjustment bolt, coolant level sensor and seatell pretensioner cable. Over all it is a joy to drive with a standard transmission. There are not many of us left."
Anonymous, ME (2014 Ford Fusion)"Very Peppy, great mpg on the road, great car for the price. Nice styling, quiet, navigation leaves some to be desired. Gas tank only holds 15 gal. Titanium model is worth the money."
Anonymous, MI (2014 Ford Fusion)"Good handling on country roads. Ability to use sport mode of transmission allows deceleration/maintaining speed with minimal use of breaks. Sufficient pickup to avoid problems in all conditions."
Anonymous, PA (2014 Ford Fusion)"great acceleration and easy handling"
Kenneth G., NC (2014 Ford Fusion)"Overall good"
Anonymous, NV (2014 Ford Fusion)"Quick reaction, easy to pass other cars."
Anonymous, MN (2014 Ford Fusion)"It is a family sedan Turbocharged 4 cylinder 6 speed auto. I'm not a pedal masher, I'm not hard on the gas, hard on the brakes. If I HAVE to accelerate quickly (on ramp to blend into traffic) it steps right out gets me there. This car handles extremely well for me from the day we purchased it. It stays where you put it on the highway. A dream compared to our previous 2012 Fusion. It had to constantly corrected for drift to the left and right. After the 3rd alignment it was OK, but never as good as the 2014"
Christine C., CT (2014 Ford Fusion)"Have been a sports car owner most of my life. Needed to change to a sedan for my real estate business. I spend many hours in my car every week. Very pleased with handling, comfort and styling of my Fusion. And great gas mileage for a car this size and weight"
Lea L., FL (2014 Ford Fusion)"Car has good acceleration for a small engine (turbocharged) and handles extremely well for a mid size"

Robert K., PA (2014 Ford Fusion)"Acceleration is gods and quite. No pull on wheel"
Charles B., IL (2014 Ford Fusion)"We love the gas mileage. It is fun to drive, especially back country winding roads! Very peppy getting on the interstate and cruises comfortably after we get on. Even on bumpy roads the sounds and feel of major bumps are muted. its a pleasure to drive."
Michael E., MI (2014 Ford Fusion)"After 3 years and 37K it still rides and feels good. Acceleration and handling is sporty and with Pirelli tires on it now feels better than the original factory Goodyears"
Nathan S., MI (2014 Ford Fusion)"The auto transmission pops and jerks when it down shifts. Ford seems to think there is nothing wrong with this."
Linda M., VA (2014 Ford Fusion)"It is a little slower to pick up speed, but we bought a smaller engine for the economy and lead footed people driving."
Anonymous, AL (2014 Ford Fusion)"I was amazed at the performance of the 1.5 liter turbo EcoBoost engine. For such a small displacement engine the performance is amazing on a intermediate sized car."
IRA V., NC (2014 Ford Fusion)"Good - some of the newer safety features.. Bad - Acceleration / Trunk space is terrible."
Anonymous, MD (2014 Ford Fusion)"The acceleration and handling is very good with the 2.0 liter engine. Well worth the extra money"

Anonymous, TX (2014 Ford Fusion)"this FWD car will get stuck on a level parking lot in wet snow"
BRUCE M., ON (2014 Ford Fusion)"All wheel drive combined with good winter tires make this car virtually unstoppable in the winter!"
Anonymous, ON (2014 Ford Fusion)"On a test drive, about a half mile into it, I was hooked. It's no G8 GT, but with AWD, 2L turbo, and the way the car handles, I was sold almost instantly. Considering the price paid, the resale is pretty atrocious. I should have kept my 2013 F150."
JAMISON H., ME (2014 Ford Fusion)"EXCELLENT RIDE AND HANDLING"
Anonymous, GA (2014 Ford Fusion)"Ecco Boost provides plenty of power and acceleration. Handling is responsive"
Anonymous, TX (2014 Ford Fusion)"Ecoboost engine is great. Economy of a 4 cylinder but "lays rubber" when you press the accelerator to the floor board."
TOBY J., FL (2014 Ford Fusion)"The best handling automobile since my '71 Camaro. Very enjoyable car to drive. 2.0L has plenty of power. Can't read the info on the dashboard with sunglasses on, however. Constantly flipping them to see. Annoying."
KEITH S., MI (2014 Ford Fusion)"Engine is very rough and noisy when started up."
GREGG R., IL (2014 Ford Fusion)"Handling is very good. The engine is the 1.5L turbo and initially lags in acceleration because of the turbo. Otherwise, power and mpg are acceptable."
KEVIN L., CA (2014 Ford Fusion)"The best driving car I've had. The engine (2.0 turbo) is a delight. Because of good steering and excellent engine power, on long trips I'm less tired than with any of the other dozen or so cars I've owned."
J D., TX (2014 Ford Fusion)"With the 2 liter engine, it is like a rocket. Engine response is excellent. Transmission shifts at the right moment. With the low profile tires, it handles amazingly, much better then any car I have had including my 2000 Ford Mustang. Yet it has a very quiet ride."
TONY D., PA (2014 Ford Fusion)"It's a great car and super fin to drive. However, the transmission is sometime clunky with a hard shift on occasion."

PRIESTS C., AZ (2014 Ford Fusion)"steering wheel too soft and not very responsive"

Anonymous, IN (2014 Ford Fusion)"very god handling,comfortable ride"
PETER H., ON (2014 Ford Fusion)"The larger engine in the titanium version with the narrow sidewall tires allow this car to be very fun to drive, with the acceleration and handling being excellent."
JAMES W., NY (2014 Ford Fusion)"its peppy and more acceleration then what I need but its there if you want it handles like a sports car very nimble and responsive the turbo provides more than enough power"
Anonymous, NJ (2014 Ford Fusion)"Decent acceleration with small ecoboost engine"
DALE F., MI (2014 Ford Fusion)"It handles nicely, the hybrid lacks power but makes up for it in way better MPG. It is a little disconcerting using s drive-by-wire system."
