Something about these cars that isn't mentioned when compared to Honda and Toyota is the road noise inside the cabin. The ford is so quiet and much more pleasant to ride in
True. I had a 2013 Ford Taurus and I know someone with a 2013 fusion and they are so much quieter than my 2016 Honda Civic. The road noise is so bad on the freeway I can't even take calls sometimes
@@Ghost-jy9hk I agree. My girl friend has a Honda. The Honda is more zippy than my hybrid, but the cabin noise and comfort is much better in the Fusion.
I was a GM guy my whole life. One thing about GM vehicles is your always trying to figure out where all the weird noises come from. They always have a clank, clunk, rattle, somewhere. I finally got sick of it and tried a Ford. I was blown away how much quieter and smooth running my Fusion was. Not only was it quiet...it didnt make weird noises all the time. It now has 200k miles on it and showing no sign of giving up. I am so glad I gave up the GM bias and tried driving a Ford. Best decision I ever made!!
I miss mine. Moving to Germany we could only being one. I gave my Fusion to my parents so they could have a commuter. They love it just as much as I did. It truly was the best car I have owned. I am sad knowing Ford will not be making them after this year.
Just bought my first fusion. A 2016 SE with the appearance package on it, and I love it. I'm so bummed it's not going to be made anymore. So eventually after this one kicks the bucket I will just get the next the latest SE.
I appreciate the dedication to the fusions beauty. I myself have 2016 fusion SE with the appearance package. He hits all the right points. But one thing that bugs me is that he complains about going through 3 sets of tires but he's basically driving across the country and back to put 26,000 miles a year. I don't think that's the cars fault but his. I've had mine for almost 2 years and I'm barely breaking 10,000 miles. My commute to work isn't that far but still the American driver averages 12,000 a year for miles.
I totalled my 2011 200 and though that was comfortable, when I rented an SE I fell in love! I'm currently driving an Jeep Patriot, and while it has wheels... I cannot WAIT to sell my house and hopefully get the $$ to trade and buy my Fusion Titanium ASAP!!!
My mom has a 2015 Fusion Titanium and it’s freaking amazing we got it with 8,500 miles and it’s at about 31,000 and it’s doing just fine it’s just getting started!! It’s such a nice comfy and sporty sedan!! And she gets 25mpg too!!!!
Just FYI, the Fusion didn't get the twin-scroll turbo charger until 2017. The Ford Edge got it first in 2015. But it didn't make its way to the Fusion until 2017, when the power got bumped up a little to 245HP / 275TQ
EVERYONE Who owns a Ford Fusion LOVES THEIR CAR!💪🏽 I Love My 2018 Platinum 2.0EB! And I used to be a Honda/Acura FanBoy lol. I do miss My Gearshift I had on My 16 Fusion SE 1.5EB tho😅
My 2017 Platinum. AWD. Self Parking. Adaptive Cruise Control. Love it. Dislike. I don’t like the 19 inch rims. Neighbor has a new CRV top of the line, and her black rims are much shaper. Don’t like low profile tires. They allow the rims to get scratched. $1000 replacement cost per rim. Don’t like mpg, 2.0 turbo. Otherwise, after a year. Great car. Everything works great. Amazed how self parking gets me within 6 inches of the curb. First time you use it, very scary. Adaptive cruise control great for trips or any interstate driving. Semiautonomous. I took my hands off the wheel for my 3 exit interstate drive. Lane keeping kept me within my lane, even during gradual curves, adaptive cruise control kept me 3 lengths from the driver in front. Don’t plan on driving this way, but it is nice.
You’re right - the 19s are very prone to damage. The Platinum is very nice! I’ve never driven a Fusion with the semiautonomous driving features but that’s awesome to know!
What mpgs have you been getting urban and then highway? I am looking into buying a used 2016 Fusion 2.0 turbo and am trying to figure out the cost to run.
axelfiraxa My 2.0 Turbo Fusion Platinum. Live in the Midwest. Running on totally flat interstate, 27/28 mpg. Local small city driving in traffic, about 18. My wife often stays in the car with the air on when I go into a store. That has lowered me to 15 mpg. I use top tier regular gas purchased at Costco. I started out with premium and did not notice a difference when I dropped to regular. Though I love the trunk space and acceleration onto the interstate, I realize that since my daily driving is less than 20 miles per day, the hybrid would have been a good choice for me. My car has been trouble free with the exception of the dealer corrected window bounceback. A small number of 2017 owners have reported battery drain issues. The 2016 models don’t have that issue. However, the 2017 models have Sync 3 system, a big improvement over Ford My Touch. If you can live with My Touch, the 2016 should be a good choice. The Fusion is the best car I have ever driven. My last four cars were a new 2013 Acura, a new 2011 Honda Pilot, a new 2008/Honda Ridgeline, a 2004 Camry. I made the decision to give up Honda reliability for a much more enjoyable ride experience.
@@paulstein9258 You just said you haven't had any reliability issues with the Fusion, so how did "give up Honda reliability" by moving to Ford? Reliable is reliable. It either is or it isn't.
John B I should have said I gave up known reliability, for what I hoped would be a reliable car. CR rated reliability 4/5 when I bought the Fusion. The next year, they dropped the reliability rating to 1/5. Most of the reliability issues are related to the entertainment nav system. Mine is fine so far.
I just bought my 2019 Titanium in 2020 with 7k miles yesterday (3/12/20) after totalling my 2018 SE, for a STEAL! Listed at 39k. Got it for 21k. I never buy brand new. It is Magnetic Grey in color. Within 10 minutes driving off the lot I got 3 compliments. But what a difference between the two. A lot more bells and whistles with the Titanium. The leather is much nicer with heated steering wheel, seats as well as cooling is awesome. I love this car. It definitely rides better than the SE I had. Much quieter too as my SE had squeaks coming from I don't know where lol.
Just traded my 07 fusion with 239k miles on it on a '18 fusion. Didnt even really consider another car in my price range. I too am obsessed with my fusion
Really love my 2015 grey Titanium Fusion!! Bought in from Budget, in the fall of 2015, had 18,000 on it, for $21,000. Thought it was a good price. This car now has 32, miles on it, have second car,2010 Mercury Grand Marquis, which I drive mostly, but wish it had the electronics that the Fusion has, like remote start. Nice to start the car in my house, when its hot (So. Cal.), and cool down before getting in!
Just got a 2019 Titanium, black. It's beautiful, I love it. Aside from the led lights, heated steering wheel, and a/c seats it doesn't seem much different. Dont fix it if it isn't broken.
I have the same (except mine is the dark grey) and I LOVE it. I just put tint on it and now its perfect for me. It's supposed to snow this week so I'm excited about the remote start.🥰
62000 miles on 2014 in july 2024, so almost 10 years. Only complaint is battery life. Seems to be typical of Fords. Used it a little for Uber and riders loved the roominess
I have a 2015 fusion SE (2.0t ecoboost) and a 2010 BMW M3. Great combination. The fusion keeps up very well. Fast and roomy. My favorite is the paddle shift.. so quick! The only downsize of fusion is the poor assembly, large gaps everywhere. Driving it reminds me of my very first car, a 2004 mazda 6. often makes me wondering the special relationship between ford and Mazda ...
Ocean Hong I have the 2017 Platinum. Over one year. Not one single assembly issue. I am retired and my first car was an 11 year old Desoto. The Fusion Platinum is the best car, with great quality control, less a corrected window bounce back issue. My last car was a new 2013 Acura.
I drive the 2014 Vignale and what should I say, I love this car. It‘s a 2.0 l Diesel with AWD. What you mentioned about the look, that‘s as well what I like a lot. Mostly people looking and are surprised it is a Ford.😂
Got my 2017 Fusion Sport last year May, Platinum white with 5% tints on all the windows (not the windshield) makes it look so good. Sport is also fun to drive. Completely loaded minus vented seats which is what I really wanted.
I love love my 2014 FUSION in 2021!! I bought it brand new and I have zero issues with it. I keep the standard maintenance up on it. It's a great car 🚗.....and sexy if I might add!!!!!
I don't want to get rid of my fusion. Eventually I'll have to. Mine is a hybrid. Dreading the battery replacement. We got the car used, previous owners beat it up. We got it fixed up. Still needs more paint touch ups but it works like a dream. Albeit a 2013 fusion hybrid so it doesn't have the live TPMS viewing, as well as the digital speedometer. But I've bought an OBD2 digital and still love my car. When my car goes into EV mode, I love it, can't even hear the engine. Smooth ride. Even (most of the time) when the gas engine turns on, I can't even feel or hear it.
I just got a used 08 fusion sel 4 cylinder automatic no turbo. No navigation. But it has synch. No awd. Wish it had awd esp. In snowy icy MN. no traction control. 99,000 miles. So far it's a nice car. Basically a mazda.
I absolutely LOVE my 2018 SE Ecoboost Ford Fusion. It is so quiet and drives so smoothly. My husband says it's almost sickening how I gush over this car! Ha! (He has a 2016 Fusion, which is why I bought mine in 2018.)
My 2011 Fusion has been the BEST vehicle I ever owned. I got sick of GM and their problems and decided to try a Ford. 200k miles later I dont regret it one bit!!! All the Ford jokes I used to tell were absolute LIES. The joke was on me. When I need another vehicle I wont even think twice about......FORD. They made a believer out of me I later traded my Silverado in for a F150 5.0. One thing ive learned about Fords is the steering is a lot tighter and more precise...like you said about your Fusion. It seems to apply across the board with Ford vehicles. Even my big 4x4 truck has that tight precise steering like my Fusion does.
I like Fusions and would have bought one if it wasn't for the headroom in the back. I have a son who is well over 6 feet tall so I went with the Taurus. Pretty similar cars but the Taurus has more legroom and headroom in the back. I think the Fusions are slightly better looking but I love the Taurus. I think the decision by Ford to do away with sedans is a strange one. I can understand them thinning out the line but they sell a ton of Fusions and a lot of Focus' so I am surprised they are not keeping those around. I do not like cross overs at all, think they are all pretty ugly, so my next car may not be a Ford.
Drove older model cars & enjoyed not making monthly payments. Ended up needing new(er) & settled on a '12 Fusion SEL that was a dream to own but was oxidizing in the FL sun so we sold & got a '15 Fusion Titanium in Tectonic Metallic finish. Such a great car that we got another '16 Fusion Titanium in White Platinum Tri-Coat Metallic finish. 100% concur with your descriptions about design, style & how it became a benchmark for other makes to copy like the Sonata & Chrysler 200. One more feature I love in the heat of summer is the double press/hold of the door lock button on the key fob to open all windows & moon roof at once ;-) One question: how does one exit this parked vehicle w/ engine running without hearing the two brief horn blasts? Thanks!
I watched some of your videos before going to the dealership and decided to get a brand new 2018 fusion SE with only 14 miles on it, and I’m absolutely in love with it. The look, the smoothness, everything. I’m not super into cars but your last video really helped me decide and I feel like I made a great choice. However I heard that ford will he discontinuing the fusion and i’m so bummed because I would’ve loved to get a new fusion after my lease is up. Anyways, thanks for the videos.
You sure keep that car looking good! Take off the emblems/badging and replace them with Bentley. 95% will think it's the real thing. It's such a beautiful car!
I just bought a 19 Fusion Titanium Hybrid and it is WAY nicer of a car than the Honda Accord Hybrid's I tested. Yes, the Accord is much faster and may have a "more powerful" engine... But, this is a classic comfortable cruiser! PS: In Phoenix the AC Cooled Seats are from God himself LOL
We really love our '14 manual transmission Fusion as well. It's a great car! The crazy thing is, they still sell quite well too. Jim Hackett is a moron to walk away from all of us happy Fusion owners. We don't do crossovers, so I guess we'll just keep this Fusion. Fine with me!
Jim the "hack" Hackett is a moron and should be moved out of his position. They've sold over 200k Fusions basically every year. Why would you stop that?
Has it ever occurred to anyone that the Ford fusion is a reputation of the Ford contour, since the contour was the Mondeo in Europe and the Ford fusion is the Mondeo in Europe as well.
Just got a FF Energi 2018 Titanium 18" rims, Sunroof Cooled Seats, before Ontario Government took incentive away. 28K CAD with rebate before taxes. What a steal.
I'm thinking about getting one of these in titanium with 118k on it for 9k, what does long term reliability look like to anyone that's had one of these for that long. I am choosing between this and a 2010 Ford escape with a NA 3.0L V6 as opposed to the Ecoboost. The fusion looks way better I just don't know what would be less of a headache to fix.
I like the Fusion better by far! I test drove a Lincoln MKZ tons of options if you even use them all lol it's very nice but the Fusion is a little quieter in the cabin area! Plus the fusions 2.0 L EcoBoost 245 horses is hard to beat in the long-run it's a great engine!! I have an SE all wheel drive 2.0 so sporty! Price tag difference is not worth paying that much for the MKZ when you get a front runner in the fusion without paying all that moolah! Both are very good cars though 😊
Naturally the idiots at Ford are killing there best car off. Here's a concept. Improve the Fusion's engines and transmission and give it an MCE and sales will stay around the current 200K per year which is stupid on Ford's part to give up.
It’s not a Ford- They only Purchased the Technology Engine & Transmission & Body From Toyota! Mine is 2017 T/Ford Fusion Hybrid & it’s At 274k runs like new. Runs better with AMSOIL 💯% 0W20 oil and AMSOIL Transmission Fluid ! Runs cooler, Rpm are now preforming better and has better performance. Only Limited By Ones Imagination !
Sorry....I forgot to say that I get compliments from complete strangers all of the time about my car. It has the sport package with spoiler, black wheels, and it is a beautiful metallic red in the sun, darker red in the shade. (Ruby Red)
I’m really thinking of getting this car. I had to get rid of my 2013 Nissan Altima, transmission went out at just 59,700 miles. I hope this Ford Fusion is way more reliable!
My next car might've been a Fusion if Ford hadn't decided to give a big middle finger to sedan buyers and try to force everyone into an SUV/crossover. No thanks, though I do wish we got the Mondeo wagon in North America. Guess it's back to pining for a BMW 3 Series...
Matthew Johnson hear the last sedan of ford which will be the fusion will be done in 2020 so got a year left otherwise yup they want you in that more expensive suv or the mustang
