A joy to drive.

I am very happy with the car. It is the titanium version (no nav) so it has many options I like. Con-the carpeting on the front passenger side is pulled out from sill plate. It may be cut short, as it is mentioned on car forums. Next trip to dealer and body shop will look at it. I found it is not covered on original warranty.

Nicest and newest care I have purchased.

I am absolutely head over heels for this car! Fusions are great reliable vehicles and I have talked to several ford mechanics about the fusions in particular and they all recommend them.

BAD GAS MILAGE/ HORRIBLE AERODYNAMICS

Love the looks and feel of the car. Hate the gas milage. 1.5L Ecoboost is 'zippy' but overall: THIS IS NO RACE CAR...... Can NOT drive w/ windows down!!! 'Drumming' will occur so bad it will shake the mirror off!!!

Newest car I've ever bought

I really like this car body shape and different color (although, now that I have it, i'm noticing this color more often than before). A little disappointed with the manual moving seats, but love the seat design.

Only have this a few days but so far, I love it!

Great styling and loaded with features! I don't have this car long enough to determine its reliability yet but I chose average because I had to choose something!

I Will Only Drive A Ford Fusion!

My Ford Fusion Meets All My Needs Being Disable From Two Back Surgeries. Comfort In The Driver Seat Is Most Important My Fusion Has All The Comfort I Need The Lumbar Seats Gives Me So Much Comfort. Entering And Exiting My Fusion Is Easy As Well Not Heavy Ackward.

Great vehicle

This car is so much roomier than it looks. Back seats flip forward for extra trunk space for extra long cargo. Very comfortable with lots of leg room. Passenger seat reclines to near flat position for comfort on long trips. It has a lot of pep and handles well.

Handsome car, but a little let down...

I purchased this car to replace my 2007 Camry Hybrid, and was a bit let down with some of the quality in this car. For starters, the leather is quite thin, after 15,000 miles of driving it is showing wear that my 2007 Camry(200,000+ miles) is barely showing. The center console has a glossy plastic trim around the cup holders which is prone to scratching easily. Visibility is poor. A-pillars are quite thick. Also, my seat being in the furthest setting from the steering wheel (I'm 6' tall) blind spot is also an issue. Rear seats are somewhat cramped for being a family car. Transmission is "clunky" when driven normally around town or stop and go situations, but I am coming from a CVT transmission, so I may not be accustomed to a geared transmission yet. I will have to say that this car, unlike my Camry, likes to be driven enthusiastically. The transmission and the sound of the blow off valve from the 2.0 Turbo engine makes quite a sound. It is a really fun car to drive. As far as reliability, I have not had any major issues. The AC takes a long time to start at times. Sometimes as much as 10 minutes, and when it is 90 degrees outside, 10 minutes seems like forever! Now there is clicking when I turn the wheel. The dealer asked me to drop the car off but I guess Ford does not offer a loaner car, or so I was told by Service rep. Needless to say, I have no idea what is wrong with the car. All in all, it is a very good looking car that is fun to drive but may not last as long as some of my other cars, but of course I am Toyota biased. The car will be returned after the 35 month lease.

Surprised me

I wasn't looking at a Fusion at first, but I test drove one and was really surprised by it. It's really comfortable to drive and ride in. The engine with Ecoboost has a surprising amount of pickup. The trunk is huge and the leg room in the back is awesome. All of these things were what I was looking for - even tho when I started looking for a new car I was only looking at small SUVs and hatchbacks. I purchased this and I haven't been disappointed.
