Good car, good size

This car is a good size for a family. It easily fits a convertible car seat in the back with plenty of legroom in the front. It has a good size trunk, also. It has a power seat adjuster for the drivers seat, which is nice because you can also move the seat vertically if you're on the shorter side. The only thing I don't really like about it is that the rear windshield is kind of small and makes it harder to see things.

Reliable Car

Purchased brand new and only major problem i have had is the power steering pump has to be replaced 3x a year always had my dealer install and do all my repairs and they couldn't explain why it kept letting go but this should definitely be a recall item and find out why it must be replaced so often.

Beautiful, sensible car

Smooth exterior lines, not too fancy or over the top, with a similar interior. Beautiful sounding stereo, simple controls, and comfortable seats. A good car for looking and feeling good on the road.

143K miles and going

I bought mine brand new. I have done the regular maintenance (battery, brakes, oil, etc). I'm happy with it. Also, I had to do some repairs such as replacing the engine mounts, and a small oil leak, other than that, it has been a great car. It seems I'll get to 200K miles with it, if I don't sell it cuz with 2 girls I'll be needing a minivan soon.

2006 FF, V6 SEL

Pretty amazing. Leather interior heated seats. What got me on it was how FAST it catches up on speed. I fell in love over all it is an amazing car. Ford really out done themselves with this one. Set aside from the wide turning ratio. Once you get use to it it is really a smooth ride you will LOVEEEE it.

Great Car

My fusion was rear ended and the insurance company totaled the car. I had 130,000 miles on the car and other than tires, battery, brakes and oil changes I incurred no further expenses. This was a great car and I enjoyed driving my Fusion--SEL V6 with the leather seats and other packages. The 221 horsepower was good, but I wish Ford would put the F150 ecoboost v6 in the car--that would be amazing. I will buy another fusion and I hope it will match my '06. cleaned up it still looked grand at 11 years old.

Great mid size

We have a 6 cyl. Fusion. Fuel mileage is 23 city and 29 highway. We replaced a Toyota Camry with this and I tell you the fusion is a much better car. Had lots of problems with Camry, no problems with this Fusion. We are 2nd owner and have 102,000 miles on it. Had 57,000 at purchase. Our 6cyl. Malibu we had before we bought the Camry got 2 - 3 MPG better than this Ford (my daughter has the Malibu -176.000 on it). Our next car will be either a Fusion or a Malibu. Both great cars. Will not ever buy another Toyota, why when the American car are as good or better.

This car is a BEAST !!!!

First off, let me start by saying I'm in sales, so I drive a lot. I'm very hard on my cars, and few hold up. This Ford has been amazing! I bought it with 65,000 miles on it and put another 45,000 on it over the next year. I have had zero problems! Not one. This is the only car I've owned that I can say that. Love it! Great job Ford!

extremely reliable

I have driven this car nearly 86,000 miles and still no factory recalls and i only had to put a new battery and that was at like 56,000 so far I belive Ford has steped up to the plate and hit a HOME RUN big time. I have had a minor issue on the ac, but it was fixed some relay switch . I do see Fusions all over the place now. If you looking for a dependable vehicle, try a fusion.
