2017 Ford Fusion Sport - POV First Impressions (Binaural Audio)

This week collaborator Chris O has been rocketing around in the new 2017 Ford Fusion Sport. We swapped cars for a few hours and I got a chance for another drive in one. I drove a Fusion Sport for the first time at the MAMA Fall Rally in Joliet, IL and was impressed by its power and overall dynamics. The suspension is a bit too softly damped for my tastes, but on bumpy Michigan roads it's better than the opposite. Power is awesome, Chris says he was able to get a 4.99 second 0-60 in the car with some generous brake torquing. The Fusion Sport isn't a Fusion ST...but it's definitely a wolf-in-sheep's clothing! Maybe that's why it gets under my skin a bit. I dig it.

The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. With headphones or earbuds on, you'll feel like you're sitting in the driver's seat.

TheTopher on RU-vid is the place where I share my personal automotive adventures. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly test vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive and live with. Most of my videos are filmed from the driver's point-of-view, or POV, with in-ear binaural audio.

December the 28th I just bought a 2018 Ford Fusion Sport and this car is fast I mean really fast 5 seconds 0 to 60 time! Only had 17,200 miles on it!I I am very amazed how well this car handles and the power that it puts out the 2.7 twin turbo ecoboost engine is a beast one of the best purchases I've ever made! I love the FFS wouldn't have it any other way 😎

Car shopping and I've narrowed it down to a Fusion Sport, or a CPO Lincoln MKZ AWD with the 3.0 Ecoboost. Only problem with the latter is finding one around here. Otherwise they are outrageously expensive when new.
@alphaspartan
@alphaspartan 3 года назад
both great choices. MKZ is obviously the better pick if money is no option but you won't be disappointed with the sport if you're more value minded.

I currently have a 2016 Titanium and really wanting one but I'm having such a hard time finding one for a good value. All the dealers around me want $18K+ for a Sport with over 80K miles. Even with how good these cars are, I just can't justify $18K on a 6 year old car.

@Kingfizh 11 месяцев назад
@@circuitprogaming3652 2017 Chevy Colorado here (loaning it from my dad) and I find the same issue. Love the way the Fusion rides and Id love a Sport but almost 20k for an almost 7 year old car with 50k+ miles is wayyy outside my budget. Having a limited student budget kills any dreams of owning one that I have. Could pick up a used Charger or Mustang for less than that with better or on par performance albeit more mileage.
