I bought a 2009 Ford Fusion SEL V6 with the Sport Blue paint job that is new for this year. Top of the line for under $25k. What a deal!!!! The car includes the Bluetooth/Sync system the sports package which includes 18" Brushed Alloy wheels, rear spoiler, and swuede inserts on black leather seats. Very happy with the car!!! GREAT STOCK SOUND SYSTEM!!! Very comfortable being 6'3 250 lbs i can say im very comfortable driving in it plenty of room!! Ipod hook up is a must being a kid. Being a teen driving this car i feel like im driving a BMW!!

this is the greatest car i have ever owned not only is the gas milage unreal!! its great looking and very very affordable!!

The Fusion is a comfortable, long-distance cruiser that is packed with features. The base engine delivers acceptable (but no neck-snapping) performance; mated with the standard 5-speed manual, drivers will likely exceed EPA estimates by 2-4 MPG (highway). Emergency handling is very good with the car providing good road feel through the steering wheel and ample warning before the rear kicks out. I do fault the turning radius (you'll use most of a standard road width to do a 180 turn), and the interior styling is a bit dated. Still, this is a great value for the dollar, a reliable form of transportation, and a pleasure to drive.

I wouldn't be too concerned about the 2010 redesign: the interior has remained essentially unchanged and the exterior is marginally different. However, because of this redesign there are great deals on the 2009 and prior Fusions. I purchased the base S trim level 5-speed and have been extremely impressed with it. Even on the bottom trim level, features such as MP3 input, power windows, door locks, and remote keyless entry came standard. Besides looking great, the car drives very well. The engine is quiet (though using the a/c creates a muted hum) and the drive feel is very well-refined. The car has enough power not to feel lacking, but don't expect to win any drag races either :) I would highly recommend this vehicle to anybody looking for a stylish, reliable, and comfortable car with a reasonable price.

Just bought a 09 with 4cyl auto with the sport package, blue suede searting, and the sun & sync package for 18K. What a bargain. The car handles great and gets over 32+ mpg on the highway...Whats not to like? Try and get a Camry or Accord comparably equipted for 18K....good luck

Got a great deal in March of '09, $5500 off on an SE 4 cylinder. Drives great, very comfortable, good power and good gas mileage, 27 MPG in the suburbs and 34 on the interstate.

Great car, good ride super value for the money.26MPG City 33MPG highway.Great looking,very styling. With the rebates ,what a steal!

I initially went to buy a Toyota Camry, but I couldn't pass up the deal on a 2009 Ford Fusion SEL. The Fusion was cheaper than an equivalent Camry and was surprisingly roomy. I paid about $5K under sticker and about $2500 under dealer invoice. I've driven it for about 1000 miles and do not have any complaints. Here's are the CONS: -Weaker acceleration than other 4 cyl. -Noisy exhaust system when accelerating. -Poor visibility when backing up. -Below avg. mpg in city driving.(~20mpg) Here are the PROS: -Great value for the money. -Corners very well. -Responsive steering (feels like a sports car) -Excellent braking. (prevented 1 accident so far!) -Good legroom, about and extra inch compared to other sedans. (I'm 6'5" and a pretty big guy, and fit comfortably) -Transmission shifts smoothly. -Decent Highway mpg (~29mpg) -Handsfree SYNC / Bluetooth is awesome. -SIRIUS radio comes factory installed. -Side curtain airbags are reassuring. -Good safety marks from NHTSA. I bought a new Toyota Camry in 2002 for ~$24K and am pleased with it, but the Fusion so far seems like a great car for the money. Time will tell, but so far...so good. If you are looking for a new car, give Fusion a test drive.
