Summary:

The only option for a mid-size sedan!!

Faults:

The car has been perfect, and gets really good gas mileage.

General Comments:

This has been a really great car so far.

I really love the gas mileage and the style of this car.

The cabin is really nice and roomy, and the interior is really cool.

I would recommend the Ford Fusion to anyone looking for a very nice mid size sedan that gets really good gas mileage. It's loaded with a lot of really cool stuff too. My wife loves the Microsoft Sync and the remote start.

We had looked at several different makes and models, and I am very happy with the decision we made.

I really love the exterior also. I like how they've redone the front end.

To sum up: Very nice car, excellent gas mileage and performance, an overall excellent vehicle for the money!!

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Our Fusion is now 5 years old and never a single problem. I have replaced the battery and tires and that's it. It is very comfortable, very smooth and very fast for a 4. Our fuel mileage is awesome (34-36 hwy and 26-29 city). The new models are even better.

Summary:

Ford does it right with the Fusion

Faults:

Had a rattling noise in the passenger side seat. Fixed by dealer. No other problems.

General Comments:

Well I have had the car a little over 7 months, put on 12.5K miles and so far so good.

The reviews were correct, car is built well, comfortable and gas mileage better than expected.

On pure highway driving (New York to Boston run) clocked 35 mpg. On my regular driving, suburban NY metro to Bronx NY - I have been getting around 29 mpg (80% highway driving).

Handles the road very well, good braking.

I4 gives adequate power, but it's no 6. Cruises at 65-70 with no problem.

Seats comfortable, standard sound system very good.

Interior cabin has all the features you need. Ford Sync system takes some getting used to, but really enhances safe driving.

Only negative, it's a little difficult knowing where the car ends; although the rear sensor helps on the back end, you sort of have to guess about where the front begins.

Bottom line, I would buy again.

"On pure highway driving (New York to Boston run) clocked 35 mpg. On my regular driving, suburban NY metro to Bronx NY - I have been getting around 29 mpg (80% highway driving)."

I'm glad to see a REALISTIC fuel mileage figure for the Fusion 4. We own a 2006 SE 4 and have been amazed at the mileage this car gets. My last tank was about 50/50 city/highway driving and it got 29.5 mpg. On the interstate (non-stop, at the posted speed limit) I have gotten as high as 37.8 mpg. Those who say they get 20mpg are obviously peeling out at every stop light and running 110 on the freeway. A neighbor of mine recently bought a 2010 SE 4 and he is getting 34 mpg in about 25% city/ 75% highway. These cars are grossly under-rated on the EPA estimates.

As for performance, we also own a 275 horsepower SUV and a Mustang. The Fusion 4 is no slouch in performance. It is faster than the SUV and I can floor it at 100mph and hit 118 (where the governor kicks in) in 4th gear. I'd never spend the extra money for a gas-hungry V-6. The 4 is more than adequate.

Summary:

A disappointment

Faults:

At 12,000 miles the transmission started slipping. It has gotten worse. I almost got rear-ended by a semi when the transmission slipped out of gear on the interstate and stopped accelerating. Went to the dealer and they reprogrammed the PCM. About half way home, it started acting up again. Sometimes the car shakes violently. I have had it. I am going to get rid of the car.

General Comments:

Everything else about the car is delightful. It is a shame the transmission ruins the driving experience.

And don't you intend to use your warranty to get it done right?

"And don't you intend to use your warranty to get it done right?"

Sounds like they already tried that route... They really need to try another dealer if they can't get the issue solved. No one says you have to go to the dealer you bought from for repairs.
