It is zippy and smooth. I have driven many cars over the last 45 years and this is one of the very best."   Recommend this vehicle to a friend?   Yes How long have you owned this vehicle?   1 - 3 years November, 2010 by KNT (Demotte , Indiana) Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 Comfort 5.0 out of 5 Performance 5.0 out of 5 Quality 5.0 out of 5 Appearance 5.0 out of 5 "LOVE THIS CAR"   Recommend this vehicle to a friend?   Yes How long have you owned this vehicle?   Less than 1 year Great Car August, 2010 by Dalt (Lincoln , Nebraska) Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 Comfort 5.0 out of 5 Performance 5.0 out of 5 Quality 5.0 out of 5 Appearance 5.0 out of 5 Pros: Ride/Handling Cons: Lack of ability to manually downshift, except to low. "I've been driving since my early teens, nearly 40 years now, so I have had many cars. I don't think I have had any that I liked as much as the Fusion. I've had it for just over a year, with absolutely no complaints."   Recommend this vehicle to a friend?   Yes How long have you owned this vehicle?   1 - 3 years Longtime import owner impressed with his Fusion August, 2010 by Paul (Maineville , Ohio) Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 Comfort 5.0 out of 5 Performance 3.0 out of 5 Quality 5.0 out of 5 Appearance 5.0 out of 5 Pros: Microsoft Sync Cons: Headlight switch on dash, lack of a home link garage door opener button "I've owned lots of Honda cars over the past 20 years (still own an Odyssey minivan) and I've owned Mazda and Infiniti cars along the way too. American cars have not impressed me for a long time and their reliability and resale were questionable. But when it came time to replace my '01 Civic commute car, I wanted to go to a mid-size sedan and I looked at almost every vehicle in the category. The Ford Fusion is tight, smart and attractive. It's ergonomic interior design is excellent. Everything is where it should be, except for the headlight switch. I'm used to twisting a stalk on the left of the steering column but I'll get used to reaching for the dash in due time. The Fusion's Microsoft Sync system is really cool. It works great once you learn the proper voice commands. Seats are firm but comfortable. Lots of storage in console, glove box and doors. Dash gauges are attractive and easy to see. The trunk is gigantic and the back seat has plenty of leg and head room for adults. Why didn't Ford build this car sooner? Interior is more modern and useful than Accord, Camry or Altima. Fusion has lots of luxury features you won't find in other cars in this class. I think Honda and Toyota had better step up their game."   Recommend this vehicle to a friend?   Yes How long have you owned this vehicle?   Less than 1 year July, 2010 by Charlie (Greenwood , Delaware) Overall Rating 1.0 out of 5 Comfort 4.0 out of 5 Performance 4.0 out of 5 Quality 1.0 out of 5 Appearance 3.0 out of 5 Pros: Sync Cons: Transmission "The transmission problems have not been resolved and my complaints are being ignored.

Where are the nice blues and greens of the good old days???? "I noticed a huge improvement over the 2009 Fusion as soon as I test drove the car. The improved enigne and transmission are very noticable. There have not been any problems in the first 10,000 miles. On 300 mile highway trips at 75 to 80 MPH I consistantly get 34MPG."   Recommend this vehicle to a friend?   Yes How long have you owned this vehicle?   Less than 1 year Fuson Sport April, 2010 by 24KMACH (Tacoma , Washington) Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 Comfort 5.0 out of 5 Performance 5.0 out of 5 Quality 5.0 out of 5 Appearance 5.0 out of 5 Pros: The radar for the blind spot in the mrrors Cons: I can't think of anything "This car is a winner.

Cons: None "Never intended to buy the HyBrid because I purchased a Fusion Sport. Dealer got it for me from another state. Two weeks after receiving it was found this state Washington would not title because did not meet our strick pollution standards. Great car. thro. Dealer talked me into testing a HyBrid. Sure glad I did. Turned out to be a fine car. Not as fast or does it corner quite as well as the Sport model but a great car. Have about 2500 miles on it. For what it has for a power plant I found it has plenty of get up and go , its passing ability great. In our mountains no probllems with corning or power. Interior is nicely layed out, seats are confortable, legroom fine. No problems of any sort have been encountered. Gas mileage from 38.6 to 41.8. I could do better. Would recommend this car and have to anyone. Some one may build a better car then this Ford but not for this price."   Recommend this vehicle to a friend?   Yes How long have you owned this vehicle?   Less than 1 year Fusion Sport AWD Delivers April, 2010 by Walt (Rancho Santa Margarita , California) Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 Comfort 5.0 out of 5 Performance 5.0 out of 5 Quality 5.0 out of 5 Appearance 5.0 out of 5 Pros: Voice activated Nav & Sync Cons: Mileage could be better or my foot needs to be lighter "The 2010 Fusion Sport AWD is another example of Ford listening to the market. The 3.5 ltr engine has a smooth 263 hp. The AWD and sport suspension delivers a crisp handling car. The seats are very comfortable. The car has tons of room. The voice activated Sync/Nav is industry leading. Great value, great looks, great performance, great fun! "   Recommend this vehicle to a friend?   Yes How long have you owned this vehicle?   Less than 1 year Junk Transmission April, 2010 by CA Joe (Valencia , California) Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 Comfort 4.0 out of 5 Performance 4.0 out of 5 Quality 1.0 out of 5 Appearance 5.0 out of 5 Pros: Handling Cons: Quality "Over the past 10 months I have driven a 2010 Ford Fusion with the 4 cyl engine. At 8,000 miles the transmission started slipping and shifting poorly; Ford reprogrammed the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). At 10,000 miles, Ford checked the computer and told me it was running fine. When the transmission would not shift into 2nd or 3rd regularly, shutter, and slam into gear at 12,000 miles, Ford replaced the transmission. However, the mechanic told me that the car's computer still 'thought' the car was operating properly. An Internet search resulted in others with the same problem. The new transmission is working fine. Sometimes when I try to start the car, the engine just turns over continuously without starting. Ford needs to fire the computer programmers & designers. The AC vents don't angle upwards enough. Otherwise, the car handles nicely and is relatively comfortable for its small size."   Recommend this vehicle to a friend?   No How long have you owned this vehicle?   I don't own this vehicle great buy February, 2010 by Andrea D (Van Nuys , California) Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 Comfort 5.0 out of 5 Performance 5.0 out of 5 Quality 5.0 out of 5 Appearance 5.0 out of 5 Pros: comfort and pick up in new engine Cons: would like the blindspot alert lights to be standard "Test drove the Fusion. The 2010 upgrades are awesome. The pick up in engine is great now. Driving is fun and very comfortable. The sync is nice but lots to learn for a not so gadget swavey driver. The hands free phone is great Comfort is great. "   I recommend February, 2010 by Mel B (Lees Summit , Missouri) Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 Comfort 5.0 out of 5 Performance 5.0 out of 5 Quality 5.0 out of 5 Appearance 5.0 out of 5 Pros: Looks, features, comfort, Cons: The SYNC is not as 'cool' as I thought. When giving an address to drive to, it never can understand what you say. After dozens of attempts, I pull out the trusty Tom Tom! "I have had my 2010 Fusion SE for 4 months now. I am overall very pleased with the car. I wonder somewhat about the gas mileage. Advertised 34mpg hiway, I am getting 24.8. I'm counting on improvement over time."   test drive and see for yourself December, 2009 by Barb Z (Ferndale , Michigan) Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 Comfort 5.0 out of 5 Performance 5.0 out of 5 Quality 5.0 out of 5 Appearance 5.0 out of 5 Pros: Interior is user friendly and comfort along with Large trunk space. Standard features outweigh last 2 vehicles (Chrysler ) by far. Cons: Rear visiblility when parking. "Ford got it RIGHT on this one. Plenty of comfort,pep,quality and very good gas mileage. On my first trip got 30.2 mpg. "   Read 2009 Ford Fusion Consumer Reviews
