Positive Review

"Fusion SE 2.0 Ecoboost"

BEST FEATURES: The 2.0T Ecoboost is superb; the same motor as in the 2013 Jaguar XF and Volvo XC-60. I am getting 24 mpg in mixed driving. The Fusion is the quietest, smoothest-riding sedan I have ever owned (including a Volvo S-80, Volvo 960 and Honda Accord). The leather seats in SE trim are a little different design than in the Titanium; so check them both out. I bought my Fusion SE with the 2.0-liter turbo and Equipment Group 205A (Luxury Package). That combination includes most of the Titanium features as a lower cost. WORST FEATURE: The sound quality of the Ford Sirius radio is a surprising disappointment. The six-speaker audio system is excellent on CD / USB modes, and very good on FM. But the Fusion satellite radio sounds tinny and flat. I have listened to XM for many years on an after-market Commodore satellite radio in my Volvo, so I know what Sirius-XM should sound like. If the dealer can’t fix this, I will not renew free 6-month Sirius subscription. Satellite radio aside, I am happy with my purchase. The Fusion is a refined, very satisfying car to drive. I suggest that any buyer test one and see for yourself.

Critical Review

"Horrid vehicle!"

I traded in my Honda Civic for this piece of junk. It rattles inside like crazy. I've taken it to the dealer no less than 8 times. I bought it brand new. I'm having transmission issues -the whole car jerks. They can't figure out what's wrong with this heap. I would NEVER recommend this to anyone. I'm trying my hardest to get out from under it.

I couldn't be more pleased.
Pros

Price, dependablity, looks

Cons

No longer produced.

Mine is a Titaniium and it has been a delight. Good MPG and more than enough power. Classically styled and with so many on the road, parts are inexpensive and easy to obtain. Still problem free at 110k miles. If you've ever had a car you felt like was "your friend", this is one of them.

Why did Ford stop making this car?
Pros

Quiet, Lower price point, Lots of tech features

Cons

Meh MPG for a sedan

Ford gets a lot of stuff wrong, the Ford Fusion is NOT one of them. By far the quietest car I've ever owned. I commute 120 miles per day for work and couldn't be more satisfied with this car. MPG is OK, not amazing for a sedan, but I'm driving all on the highway, so I'm averaging around 31-33 MPG. I was very nervous about getting a Ford, but this car has surpassed my expectations by far. Highly recommend. I'll be sad when this car dies. Why Ford discontinued this car is beyond me, even though the demand for it is high.

Disgruntled Ford Owner
2/5/2024
Great car but has a defect in the engine
Pros

Looks nice

Cons

Bad engine block design

Do NOT buy this car. I'll just put the link to the youtube clip out there (see below). At about 100,000 the engine car light will come on. This is due to a defect in the 4th cylinder whereby radiator fluid will leak and cause engine overheating. See link below. This is a known Ford issue but they refuse to assist the consumer. My notes below: 1. Potential Fire- Ford Fusion Coolant Leak Recall Overview https://lemonlawexperts.com/ford-coolant-leak-recall/ 2. Design flaw in the engine block 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8nQ1NZW_GI 4. There are class action lawsuits in Canada.

Love it!
Pros

Sporty, fuel efficient, lots of tech, smooth ride

Cons

Wish it was a bit bigger inside

This is my second fusion and I’ve loved both of them! It’s disappointing that they won’t be making any more so my next vehicle will probably be an Escape or Maverick.

Love it Despite little issues
Pros

Comfort, Driving, style, options.

Cons

Ford sync, city mpg

I got 3 fusions 2013 - 2016 -2019 I am a very loyal to the model not the brand. Ford nailed this model and I am not sure why they discontinued it!! The fusion is still running with new model and design all over the world. If ford America still producing it I will definitely will get a new one. I love how it looks how it drives and the comfort of the cabin I am a 6.2” guy. I don’t like ford sync system as it is not smooth and needs to manually contact the media every single time I get into the car. Gas mileage is not in the great side. I average 24 mpg 50/50 city/hwy driving. But I would love to get a newer fusion hybrid if ford will reproducing the car. BTW I heard toners that ford is reconsidering the return of Ford Fusion in the states maybe next year. But for now Shane on you ford decision makers to discontinue your best ever sedan car.
