Ford Fusion Change Vehicle

"Very easy and responsive"

"4 cylinder not allot of punch but the handling of this car is very good"

"Is a very comfortable car and has all the bells and whistles of a luxury car but at a much lower cost."

"Handling,acceleration are excellent.Caris tight and provides a very smooth and quite ride. Only negative is interior is a little cramped."

"Acceleration is poor and car strains to pick up speed on the freeway. Handling is good."

"I love the handling on this vehicle. The automatic shifting just doesn't seem right. It waits too long to shift from one gear to the next."

"The electronic transmission at different speeds is not positive on acceleration."

"I would like a little more pick up, but it handles very nimbly and is responsive"

"I have driven this AWD Titanium 15000 miles in 5 months. Handling is excellent. Braking is short. Acceleration good. Highway mileage 29-30 mpg."

"Very bad turbocharger system. Hesitates when throttle applied."

"The 2.0L Turbo provides excellent torque around town. Brisk acceleration. It does however fall off a cliff rather quickly at higher speeds. It often seems no faster in passing power than many other naturally aspirated engines i've driven. Handling however is top notch though weight can definitely be felt depending on the specific type of turn-ins done. Over all as a daily, it exceeds in this category."

"The EcoBoost 2.0 engine provides performance & fuel economy comparable to a V6. Handing is especially good for a mid-size car, borderline sporty."

"Handles great"

"Capable acceleration and handling, interior quietness and ride."

"I only drove it 200 miles, it shows average MPG 34, This is Driving 60 MPH. the seat is in a deep well much too low, Can not enter car without hitting your head, sun-visors are Too narrow to drive west, sun is always in your face. Cannot see the front of the car from the driver's seat."

"Compared to our Focus it rides and drives like a luxury car. Extremely satisfied with this car so far."

"Sure footed. The AWD is much better than my previously owned Infinitis. The braking is ten times better. Handles all road surfaces better than expected."

"It doesn't accelerate well going up a hill."

"outstanding acceleration, fun to drive (hugs the road)"

"Lower rpms excellent..like v6...middle rpms not so much...lets you know its only an I4...Disappointing."

"Eco-boost is very good. Acceleration is fast and smooth"

"I am like the acceleration of the vehicle I have the small 4 cylinder model with the eco-boost and it has all the acceleration I need."

"Great to drive and handling is great. Fast"

"It has an electric power steering pump, and it steers like a truck, particularly at dead center. It's almost tiring to keep the car on dead center, especially with one arm that's weaker due to an accident."

"BOTH ACCELERATION AND HANDLING BETTER THAN MY 2007 4 RUNNER"

"Acceleration from a stop is surprisingly good. Transmission is a a little rough at times. Acceleration is not as great around 40 mph, but better higher."

"I am very satisfied with this car's handling. It responds when I need it to."

"Vehicle sucks in the snow"

"Eco Boost engine is very quick and handling is like being on rails."

"Handles like a European sports sedan."

"Very good acceleration. Handling is fine too."

"Nimble handling and responsive engine when maneuvering in traffic."

"acceleration is responsive with only minor jerking when stepping hard on accelerator. Had to react quickly on a cross-country trip in a construction zone with heavy traffic. Car responded well without too much sway or a sense of losing control."

"it handles well and has a great road feel though the tires are noisy"

"The Fusion blends a good amount of quiet comfort and sporty handling for a car in its class. I'm always surprised when I take on an on-ramp at a higher rate of speed. Acceleration is good, there is plenty of around town punch. The engine runs out of steam earlier than I would like but you would never know it if your commute is regularly around 30 mph - 50 mph. One thing I certainly don't like is the clunky feeling transmission and it occasional hesitation when demanding full power. The lag in the turbo + hesitation down shifting make gunning for open spots in slower traffic terrifying - You just can't be sure it's going to give it all it's got. In summary, the torquey motor is fun and advantageous enough, feels quick even though it isn't always fast."

"VERY GOOD ACCELERATION & HANDLING FOR A HYBRID."

"Handles very well for me. I do a lot of highway driving and the acceleration is good."

"Drives well very smooth"

"The acceleration is smooth and responsive."

"the ride is what would be a comfortable ride, not a sport ride and acceleration is fine, easy to access the expressway. The warning system for vehicles ahead that may have stopped is very useful."

"Responsive engine, handles well, poor gas mileage"

"great acceleration and handling; like the electric steering; like the automatic downshifting descending hills upon applying brakes twice & uses engine breaking saves brake pads; like rear view camera; like the automatic headlights"

"it has good pick up and good. This is the eco model. never had a problem merging with s 1.5 liter engine"

"For a small engine this car has excellent quick pickup passing acceleration."

"I have an Energi Hybrid. When driving at home, I charge it overnight. I have gone for up to a month just driving on my overnight charge. Until I started a road trip on Monday, my vehicle gave me an average 110+ mpge!"

"very good"

"Acceleration is good with the 2.0 and AWD on my Titanium"

"2.4L engine is fine for highway and casual city driving, but if you need good acceleration, like merging with freeway traffic or passing on a 2 lane road. this vehicle/engine combo is not the one you want. other than this, i am very well pleased with all other aspects."

"Poor acceleration."

"All is good except it doesn't ride as good as i think it should. Different tires might might make a difference."

"Handles very well at all speeds. Have run on fast curvy roads and 2 "track" country roads. Turning 180 degrees in narrow single lane road easy. Ride comfort good to excellent depending on road surface. Hit piece of concrete with front tire at 75+ mph on expressway & blew out instantly, had no trouble controlling and pulling off road with 2" hole in one front tire."

"I don’t recommend the 2.5 l engine. It’s sluggish. Go with the 1.5L Eco-boost. Better mileage and more hp and torque which translates into better driving experience performance wise."

"Like my grievous German car"

"Nimble handling, fun to drive."

"good acceleration and handling, especially at freeway speeds"

"It takes off on hills here in GA. NO hesitation like my other car"

"I replaced a six cylinder car with the four cylinder Fusion and I seldom miss the six. The handling on the Fusion is impressive for a car in this price range."

"The engine responds guickly and the steering responds to the touch"

"Car is very quiet & comfortable. Handles well. I think the acceleration is a little weak."

"The power is there where I need it, no hesitation when accelerating. The ride is smooth. The front end is too low and something scrapes the pavement when going into parking lots, driveways that are on an incline. There is a hard flap (similar to a mud flap) between the front bumper and front tires under the car. The Ford service department says they cannot do anything about it. I would had gotten larger tires to eliminate that scraping of pavement if I knew about this."

"My vehicle is equipped with the 2.0L Ecoboost engine. It provides good acceleration and good fuel economy."

"Our Ford fusion drives great, handles great and has outstanding acceleration with the eco-boost. We are very satisfied with this car!"

"For a 4-cyl. engine, it has very adequate acceleration and is VERY responsive when steering, a real joy to drive."

"The 2.0 EcoBoost is a smooth and powerful motor for this size of a car, when you are in the car the seats are very comfortable and support well."

"acceleration is poor due to gear ratio ford should of turbo charged the 2.5 heavy car"

"The pickup in town is great, thanks to the turbo-charged 2.0 L engine. It handles like a European sports sedan which makes driving engaging and fun."

"Inline 4 engine with turbo surprisingly strong, smooth, responsive. Sharp turning radius makes car nimble and easy to park. Stable handling in traffic and at highway speeds."

"Very good acceration and power"

"4 cylinder with EcoBoost: I didn't believe it until I drove it - it really gets up and goes!"

"The vehicle is a little to heavy for a small 2.0 liter turbo engine, it really hampers the driving experience."

"Exceptional ride with good control on cornering and maneuvering in traffic. Rear visibility is limited by cabin design."

"The acceleration and handling of this vehicle is very smooth. No difficulties."

"Great"

"Acceleration is most impressive from 0 to 40 or so,."

"The car drives and rides exceptionally good. I've had two BMWs in the past we like this Fusion much better. On long trips we consistently get 31-33 mpg. has been very reliable. Maintenance costs are very low. best car I've owned in years."

"Very nimble handling. Great for city driving."

"Breaking system is too touchy when the roads are wet. The breaks will cause the wheels to lock almost instantly; almost causes whiplash."

"It has all the getup and go that I need. And can easily get you a speeding ticket anywhere in the USA."

"For a 1.5L turbocharged engine the performance is excellent. You would never know the engine is so small."

"It has adequate acceleration and handles true and easily."

"very easy to handle"

"Pretty quick off the line on motor a bit sluggish on engine"

"The brake pedal is higher up from the floor board than the gas pedal. This makes me have to lift my leg to apply brakes. This in turn makes it hard to find a comfortable sitting positions. Seats themselves are comfortable. I love that the passenger seat has electronic controls."

"The seats in my Ford Fusion are the most comfortable of any car I have ever sat in. The car is also very quiet."

"Handles very well but rides rougher than I expected."

"Noise is bad with the windows open. For some reason riding with the driver's side window fully down creates this reverberating noise that's very annoying. It's worse with the window partially down. The manual says open a window across from the first, but that frequently fails to help. Can't they test these designs in a wind tunnel?"

"With the 6way power seats, I'm still unable to find a position I'm completely happy with"

"What ever happened to 8 way power seats? I am tall, long legs, short torso. In order to make room for my legs I have to push the seat all the back, but that makes the seat go to the lowest point."

"I really liked the memory seats with the automatic retraction for easier entry/exit. Both my wife and I can drive in our selected position and not make entry or exit hard for the other person."

"The fabric seats are very comfortable and they have the best seat warmer of any vehicle I've owned. The climate control is difficult and dangerous for the driver to use. In order to choose the location of air (feet, dash, etc.) you have to go through the touch screen to the climate control section and choose."

"Interior is very quiet. Seats are comfortable. Very happy to NOT have leather interior. Ride is very smooth. Acceleration is acceptable with the 1.5L engine, but the 2.0L must be better."

"A very soft ride and low levels of noise in the cabin. Seats are comfortable and the rear bench is generously sized to accommodate adults"

"Love the seats, how quiet it is and how smooth and quiet the ride is."

"My husband is a bigger guy at over 6 feet tall and our previous fusion was just too cramped for long rides. This car is made to be more comfortable especially on a long commute. I personally would have liked the leather seats we had before because of cleaning"

"So quiet, makes driving more relaxing"

"Very comfortable & rides great"

"the comfort of the seats is excellent, the ride is very good,and the noise is about the same as every other vehicle"

"The ride is good and the seats are very comfortable. I use this car for taking long trips because of the comfortable seats."

"not enough foam in seats, Loud noise when drivers window down and the others are up,2010 handles better than 2016 got real cheap on parts ie less"

"Wicked good ride and very quiet both on motor and engine"

"It's a quiet and comfortable car to drive."

"The seats are terrible. They make long trips unbearable. Very little lumbar adjustment and the driver's seat sits off center to the steering wheel. This causes the driver to sit in an awkward position. The seat belt buckle is also buried between the seat and the console making it difficult to buckle up. I'll never buy another Ford for those reasons."

"The ride in this car is very quite."

"Great comfort. Quiet ride, very quiet engine"

"comfortable, adjustable, quiet"

"Very quiet and comfortable on long (6 hour+) road trips."

"Difficult to get in and out of. Everything else is very good."

"Flexible electric seat controls allow most comfortable position. Easy to change p[osition on long drive. Easy to reset to original. Ride is solid without being harsh. AWD welcome in bad road conditions,."

"It is equipped with with the 10 way driver and 6 way passenger power seats. The seats are well designed and comfortable. The car is very quiet even while cruising at high Interstate highway speeds. The ride quality is excellent. I purchased the vehicle specifically for long distantance road trips and I have not been disappointed."

"Great Seat and the car drives really well"

"Seats very comfortable and, with the power assist, easy to get into a good position. the power assist is very intuitive and easy to use without having to do it with the manual in one hand"

"The seats are roomy & with the lumbar support are quite comfortable. Quiet, smooth ride."

"Seat position memory, seat cooling, general comfort"

"Power seats offer multi adjustments to get comfortable"

"Replaced my BMW with the Fusion and was surprised with the ride and handling as well with how quiet it was compared to the Honda and Toyota mid-sized cars."

"The seats are quite comfortable for long trips. The car feels and sounds solid and rattle free."

"comfort,rides,handling. car is quick all in all a very good car"

"The front seats are very comfortable even on long trips. Nose level is very quiet except when accelerating in the gasoline mode.The ride is comfortable yet firm enough for good handling."

"There’s a whistling / humming noise that’s always been there when the drivers side window is the only window slightly open"

"Front Passenger side seat needs to be more adjustable...up?down"

"Seat are very support for someone with back problems. Road noise is very low."

"Good cushioning very good lumber support."

"Seat backs of front seats are too contoured and require additional support of an air cusion."

"The Energy Plug-in hybrid model is comfortable and when running on electricity, it's incredibly quiet. Even when running on the gas engine, it's a reasonable noise level."

"The car is very quiet and the ride is very comfortable. I'm very happy with both. The front seats need to adjust more so that the sitting surface of the seat can be level instead of tipped back. In the tipped back position, my weight is centered on my buttocks instead of being spread over my buttocks and legs."

"Very noisy inside car...wind noise"

"Smooth, quiet ride. Great lumbar support."

"good seat adjustments; very quiet interior; front seats are firm for support, yet enough "give" for comfort; wife and I are different heights and adjustments work smoothly."

"The seats are Okay, however, compared to my previous 1996 Cougar, the Fusion seats could be a lot more comfortable than they are."

"All the seats are uncomfortable to sit in for extended trips, and seat adjustments do not improve the sit-uation. The first time our adult son rode in our car, he commented that he was surprised how uncomfortable the seats are. SEAT BELT: The shoulder belt, passenger side, constantly rubs against my neck because it does not adjust properly for my height (just 5 feet tall). As a result, I hold the seat belt continuously away from me when in the passenger seat. I do not know if this will affect the function of the belt if needed, but is certainly annoying if not dangerous. Taller passengers have no problem with this. Adjusting the seat position helps some, but not enough."

"Would prefer better quality leather interior. The cloth seats are too easily stained. The vinyl/plastic interior seems cheap."

"Driver's seat is comfortable and is easily adjustable with the electric motorized controls. Road noise is not totally insulated from the cabin."

"One reason I purchased this car was to get the power seats. They are very comfortable for my back."

"Long trips. Comfort and quiet"

"interior noise level is very low and exceeded my expectations, the seats are OK, but could use more mid-back support and the ride is very composed."

"gas mileage below what was expected."

"Buying this car during the April clearance sale helped us get an exceptional price."

"This car actually went down in price from the time I bought the same model from year 2014. The 2016 price was roughly $7000 less, same options. It's a plug in hybrid. I fill my car only 3 or 4 times per year with gas. I love this car. Looks great too."

"I previously had a 2010 Lincoln MKS $60,000 car. This new 2016 Ford Fusion has just as good a ride, more options and almost half the price. Great styling and great features. Great buy. Have had the 2016 for 1 year and would buy another one."

"The salesman took advantage of me on the price. I paid too much for this car because of the salesman's trickery."

"I am a rather large person and find the car comfortable to ride in and it seems to get relatively good mileage. I do not drive a great deal some where around 6000 miles per year give or take."

"When comparing this vehicle to comparable models from other manufacturers, I found we received more options at a cheaper price. Very good quality vehicle. Quiet, comfortable ride. Has plenty of power to pass for a 4 cylinder."

"Drives well. Hard to enter. and leave. ßidewindow frame makes seeing blocked"

"Great price with rebates and zero % financing for 72 months."

"Excellent value. Comfortable, quiet ride with just enough power when you need it, although it thinks about it a bit when you put the pedal down. Decent sound system, and the SYNC controls are pretty easy to use once you’ve set them up (which takes some work). Performs as well or better than sedans costing twice as much. A steal at $22,000."

"Miles per gallon has dropped significantly over the years"

"I think it’s a great value for the money. Especially for the features that are standard"

"The value of the car exceeds what I had expected."

"Highway mileage is 31 and the ride is very comfortable. I commute 50 miles each way to work."

"One of the main criticisms of the optional AWD system is that it is only offered on the higher trims of the Fusion. SE and above which on paper makes it look pricey compared to the Legacy however when you factor in year round rebates, the Fusion comes with AWD at around the same prices as any given legacy except for the base. This also includes the upgraded engine on the Fusion (2.0T). Although not flashy, The interior of the fusion is full of soft touch material even down to knee touch points. It's incredibly quiet and has excellent driving dynamics. According to CR, the Fusion also holds up on reliability and the few quibbles there are boil down to the MFT system. The system is just fine and most people complain about the climate controls that are buried. You should be leaving it on auto anyway! Overall - great value for money!"

"Outstanding value. Not especially "top" in any one category, but overall for the price I got a nice looking car, easy to drive, with a lot of room, that was well built and does the things that are important well. It is both a nice car to commute in, and to drive on a trip"

"In general I think the Ford Fusion Hybrid is a good value except for the cooling design for the Li-Ion battery. The cooling system is inadequate, causing the car not to run in battery mode at ambient temperatures above 95F. This problem will also likely cause the battery capacity to degrade significantly over time. I would like to see CR report on battery mode operation of future Plug in Hybrid Vehicles at temperature extremes in future car reviews."

"It's a lease vehicle and there is nothing on the car, yet the monthly rate is extremely high."

"Absolutely worth every penny"

"Very good value very satisfied"

"I bought a very good vehicle at a most reasonable price."

"it is a great car performs better than my friends BMW, the only complaint is that when rotating the tires the lug nuts break, at this point I have replaced all of the lug nuts, not sure if it is the people doing the rotating or not, 70% of the time it happens at the Ford dealer, this is disconcerting, as well as annoying"

"GREAT FOR THE PRICE... too bad they will not make it again"

"My 2016 Ford Fusion is a sleek, stylish-looking Sedan that provides a comfortable road-trip ride of several hundred miles in a day. We believe we made the correct choice is buying this car because it meets our daily transportation needs at a reasonable price."

"Very good value. Stylish, great ride, loaded with features, for only $23,500 brand new - I am very satisfied."

"The car has a systemic problem with its 12 volt battery that Ford can't repair. The car is a disaster. Engineering nightmare. I have an Energi"

"6 speed automatic with optional manual control, on a downhill grade touching brakes twice shifts transmission down & uses engine breaking; 4 wheel disc brakes; answer calls vie wheel controls; heated & folding mirrors; electric hand brake applied on hills no rolling back;great handling performance and good fuel economy."

"It was a gift."

"You get a full size comfortable car with great gas mileage at a better price the the imports."

"$50,000 car for $27,000. Handles well, love the fuel economy and comfort."

"It is just a car and the price nearing 40k for a small (midsize) car. There is a ton of technology and I love the power of the EcoBoost with the fuel economy combination"

"Reasonable price, 0% finance"

"It’s a car large enough to comfortably seat 4 large adults while getting 40 mpg. It’s quite and easy to drive."

"We are able to use the electric drive to get to and from work each day, and are able to charge the car at work for free. We fill it with gas about once a month. All that considered, it represents a considerable savings. The impact to our electric bill when charging only at home is less than a single tank of gasoline. In that sense (and with the discounts we got at purchase time), it's paid for itself relative to our previous car."

"Front end, view from the side"

"Love the sporty look! It is snazzy, I LOVE this car!!!!"
