2006 Ford Fusion SE review from North America
"Incredible value, great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
I just purchased the SE model with leather seats. Very comfortable, ride is smooth and the transmission shifts seamlessly. The 220hp V6 has an abundance of power that seems to be available anywhere in the rev range. I imagine this is due to the 6 speed automatic. There is a very minor stumble when transitioning from the brake pedal to the gas pedal at very slow speeds. Other than that, I am amazed at how well a 6 speed transmission can perform.
The most amazing part of this car (to me) is the value. I purchased a very powerful, extremely comfortable car which rivals cars that cost thousands more.
Fit and finish is very good. Some minor components seem a little on the cheap side (dashboard glove box) but overall a lot more car than I thought I could get for the low to mid 20's.
