2016 Ford Fusion consumer reviews

I've only had the car a few days, but I absolutely LOVE IT! I've literally owned dozens of cars in my life, and this is my favorite! It's an incredibly smooth ride, handles well, looks fantastic and has all the bells and whistles. The trunk is huge (no space taken by the wheel wells like most cars) and the back seats easily fold down to give you added space. Everything is laid out well, and the seats are super comfortable. My husband is a large guy, and he has plenty of room and agrees about how great a car it is! The ecoboost gives great gas mileage yet the turbo still sets you back in your seat with power. Overall, I am thrilled with the car and would highly recommend it!

I have only had this car for a week but I already love it! The ride is smooth and the 2.0 ecoboost has plenty of power for a 4 door sedan. The perfect balance of fun and family.

Purchased the Titanium used and had it about 30 days, I drive highway and residential streets; the car performs extremely well giving me 29 mpg. Great acceleration, very good visibility, very good comfort on the long drive as compared to my Cadillac. The sound system and other amenities are well designed and implemented. Plenty of trunk space for my clubs. This is the best car I've ever owned!

Really loved the looks of the 2016 Fusion so decided to investigate further, took many other cars, Hyundai, Honda, Mazda, etc. For a drive but kept coming back to the fusion due mainly to the performance and the tech. package. I ended up buying the fully loaded titanium model with everything but the cooled seats and after 4 months have absolutely no buyers regret whatsoever. The 2 l. turbo has fantastic power, put it into sport mode and use the paddle shifters and it feels like you are driving a 2-seater sports car, for a heavy car it performs unbelievably well. The handling and cornering are top-notch, the seats hold you nice and firm going thru the corners and there is no roll when cornering hard, my only complaint so far is that I'm pretty wide in the shoulders and the side bolsters on the seats are a tad narrow for me, it feels like the seat is trying to roll my shoulders forward. One option that you can't do without is the adaptive cruise control, it will maintain a set distance between you and the car in front of you, just set the cruise a bit higher than the speed you're traveling and the car takes care of the rest, it will slow down when needed and speed back up by itself. No more having to slow down then reset the cruise when traffic speeds back up. My wife just loves that it can parallel park itself!! If you set it up right when you start the process, it will leave you within 4-6" from the curb every time. Also, make sure you get the 12 speaker system with the amplifier, first car I've ever owned that I didn't have to upgrade the factory stereo unit. As for any dislikes I have, there are very few....besides the narrow seats the other thing I don't like but really doesn't matter is the big depreciation hit you take when driving a new one off the lot, the fusion is a popular car and there are lots of them out there and its easy to find a good used one. I bought mine used with only 9400 Kms. On it and paid $16000 less than the new sticker price. I know this because the previous owner had the original window build sheet included. Overall I'm very happy with it but can't comment on reliability, haven't had it long enough. One last thing, the heated seats are the best I've ever had, they warm up very fast and living in Canada, that's a good thing.

This is our first Fusion although I own a 2010 Taurus SHO. The Fusion has good power, handles well and is comfortable to drive. We have had no problems so far and are very satisfied with the car. I would recommend this car to anyone.

I owned a 07 Focus and after that I swore I would NEVER drive another Ford. Fast forward to 2016 and I fell in love with the Fusion. I did my research for a few months and finally bought one (new). I've had it about 6 months and I swear, I find something new to love about it every day. Last night we got about 13 inches of snow and it handled like a beast. I'm averaging 26 MPG, friends are always commenting on how quiet the cabin is. Always a smooth ride, beautiful interior and the heated seats make winter a little more manageable. I will never say never again! ;-)

After owning 12 Hondas in a row, I switched to a 2016 Ford Fusion, Titanium, AWD, with all the bells and whistles. I have driven 25K miles since March 2016. No issues. Great ride, great highway mileage (28-30 mpg), comfortable. Suite of safety features great. Parallel parking is a breeze. 2.0 Turbo 4 has good power is quick. No turbo lag. Co-workers are surprised by the ride quality and styling. AWD is nice on wet and slippery roads.

I've only owned my Fusion for a week but wow! Fantastic car! Comfortable, stylish, love all the tech! Got a great buy on it! It's one of the best looking mid size sedans on the market.

This car is probably great if you never drive on gravel roads. Unfortunately, I drive on gravel everyday. This car sits very low to the ground. I have even had trouble with scraping the bottom on sudden rises when driving in town. On gravel, I have to be extremely careful not to drag the car when driving over ruts or potholes. Even worse, this car is very prone to getting gravel stuck in the rotors, causing a loud, irritating, screeching noise. This started for the first time when I had around 400 miles on the car. I now have less than 3000 miles on the car, and I have had this problem several times since. A week ago, it got so bad that I finally had it checked out because I was afraid there was something more wrong with the car than just a rock stuck in the rotor. I took it in to the dealer and, sure enough, there was a piece of gravel stuck in the rotor, causing the car to screech. I had the rotors cleaned, at my own expense, as the warranty wouldn't cover it. Today, one week later, I hopped in the car and guess what, it's screeching again!!! Very frustrating to have to deal with this with a brand-new car. I don't understand what it is about this car that is causing this problem. I have always driven on gravel roads daily, and I have always done so in a car this size or smaller, but have never had problems like this before. If I had known that I would be listening to this car screech before it had even had its first oil change, I would NEVER have bought it! If you live on a gravel road, keep shopping!

My 2011 Toyota Venza (V6) was a great car, but was brutal at the gas pump due to my 70 mile a day commute. After doing a lot of research, I contacted a friend who works for a local Ford dealer and asked him if he could find me a used 2015-2016 Fusion with Sync 3, Push to Start and low mileage. I wasn't interested in the 2017 due to the dial gear selector and didn't think their was any loaded 2016's left as all I could find on-line were 2.5 or 1.5 Turbo and I really wanted the 2.0 Turbo. He informed me that due to the 2017's being out, Ford was offering huge rebates and incentives for new 2016's and I could end up paying less than used. He set me up with a fully loaded 2016 Ford Fusion SE with the 2.0ltr Turbo and I was blown away. Let me tell you, this car can hang with most any sports car in its class in both looks and performance. I am so happy with the performance, styling and ride quality. I'm sure the 2017 is the same, with the exception of the dial gear selector.
