Here's Why the Ford Fusion is the Best Midsize Car in the US 

I have the 2017 Fusion Platinum. Great car. If you get one, get the Platinum AWD. It has every imaginable option standard. Had one corrected problem. Window bounceback. Tech bulletins showed correction. Perfect now. A small percentage of early 2017 models have had battery drain problems. Fix found. The 2016s are very well rated by CR. However, they have a mediocre infotainment system. The 2017 Sync 3 system is incredible. I would go for a 2018. My previous cars have been: 2013 Acura. 2011 Honda Pilot. 2008 Honda Ridgeline. 2004 Toyota Solara. 2002. Tundra. 2001 Accord. None were fun to drive. I finally decided the heck with resale value and was willing to give up some reliability. The Fusion is fantastic to drive. I hope to get many years out of this car. You can see how frequently I traded in my unsatisfying, but reliable, Japanese makes. Longest I have ever owned a car, my 1998 Ford Explorer Sport. 14 years. 150,000 miles. Also very enjoyable,

Now that I know that Ford is going to discontinue this car in 2020 I want it even more!

I have the 2013 SE ecoboost 1.6 turbo with 194K miles on it and it's needed very little heavy maintenance. Recently had the lover control arms on the front done and all four wheel bearings as well as the water outlet from the block since it's plastic and finally gave out causing a pretty big leak. It's always had it's oil changed at 7k miles on full synthetic This car has been such a wonderful daily driver and as you mentioned the interior feels soo amazing. For only having 180-ish HP it still has a ton of pep even with almost 200K miles Have a friend that spilled something on one of your seats? Just wipe it up and scrub for a few seconds, it will come completely out, I have no idea what material they used but it holds almost no moisture making it extremely easy to clean. It's sad that they discontinued the fusion but I'll probably drive this one until the wheels fall off then look for a 2016-2019 Titanium so I can experience the AWD that everyone raves about, though I still have no complaints about the FWD models, they all handle amazing, a lot better than you would expect a car that ranged from $24K-$35K new. They really do stand out with looks and performance as well

I have a 2018 Sport. The all wheel drive is front wheel biased. You can see where the power is being sent on the instrument panel. I love the little updates like all LED lighting, sync 3. along with a few other things. Very first thing I did was do 15% ctx tint around the front and back and 80% ctx on the windshield. Feel like I'm in a fishbowl without tint and it's hot as hell here in the south.

got a 2018 Fusion Titanium and I love it. There was a problem with the transmission initially, but the dealer fixed it and it is better than new. (Cleared the adaptive transmission control module and replace three solenoids!) This is a beautiful vehicle and very nice to drive. I'm coming from a 2005 Focus ST, which I love and still have, and it's like night and day! Analog vs. Digital! Love it!

Good question. I’m 74. Had an Acura TSX. Great car. Getting in was easy. Getting out was miserable. My Fusion is easy both in and out,

Great Video, thank you for your feedback. I had been looking at the Ford Fusion Energi. I like the Fusion style overall. Great to look at and the interior looks amazing. Thank you for your personal perspective.

I don't understand why Ford has discontinued the Fusion. The excuse is...." Sedans just aren't selling compared to the SUV, Crossover, Trucks " I am calling BS on that ! I see Ford Fusions and Focus everywhere ! I think it's just Ford wants to stop manufacturing affordable sedans. I travel a lot and I see Fusions literally EVERYWHERE ! I have even seen Fusions in South Korea and Fords are pretty rare there. I have a 2017 Fusion Se Ecoboost. It has a fairly small engine, but it satisfies my needs. ( I am not into speed so perhaps I am biased ) but my Fusion has a bit of pep in it's step when needed. I really like the design inside and out. Sleek smooth lines and pleasing to the eye. ( just my opinion ) but the one thing I simply love about my Fusion ? COMFORT !!! and plenty of interior room. Previously I had the 2016 Ford Focus and it was a nice car, but the interior space was lacking. The legroom in the back seats left little to be desired. So I was really pleased when I got the Fusion as it has plenty of legroom front and back. Also a huge trunk and an even larger trunk when folding down the seats. But the thing I love the most about the Fusion ? It is, hands down, the most comfortable car I have ever owned ! I have traveled from Virginia to Kansas and back a lot in the past in various vehicles. Dodge Caravan, Ford Explorer, Chevy Trailblazer, Ford Focus, and Ford Fusion. The other vehicles just seemed uncomfortable. I would fidget a lot trying to get comfortable...this is not the case for the Fusion. I have driven from Kansas to Virginia and back, and Kansas to Utah and back and just did not fidget, just pure comfort !!! I seriously don't know why, but it just is comfortable to me. I am actually pissed off that they are discontinued.

With Ford deciding to quit making sedans and going to only SUV’s what would be your next purchase? I’m a Ford guy and our next purchase will be in 2020 and because of my age and medical issues I want a large sedan. Easier to get into and out of. With many car companies deciding to quit making sedans, Chrysler, Chevy, Ford just to name a couple, I don’t know what to buy in that model year. I enjoyed this video, listening to someone who has driven a car for 4 years gives one the ownership experience of the owner and I like to hear that perspective. Have a great day.

Kudos for standing up for the Fusion interior. Car reviewers like to pan the Fusion interior, because it hasn't been updated. However, that is just a subjective opinion on style. Objectively, the Fusion interior has high quality materials and feels luxurious. Mazda has bypassed it with the 2019 6 and Honda finally equaled it with the 2018 Accord. Everyone else in the midsized class is still trailing the Fusion in interior quality. Not bad for a car that hasn't had a redesign since 2013.

Love these cars! Home run Ford Motor!

Awesome 😀 😀 Ford fusion test drive review .

Quick question, it’s a minor question but how would you rate the sound system? It’s important to me

I wanna get a Fusion mainly because of the look and I’ve never had a ford and wanna experience it but I know one of the main issues with the fusion is the battery issues

just got a 2019 sel hybrid, i love it 😍

What's the opinion about the Sport trim 2018+? I think I might've narrowed down needing a catch can for the GDI engine and PTU oil changes. Sounds like there's oil leaks on some of the ecoboost engines but that's being fixed with Ford switching out the plastic oil pans to aluminum ones.

11:00 boy that statement didn’t age well 😂

Please tell me how much miles or kilometers you can do with a Fusion? I love the car, but seems it has a very small engine. It would last 1MM kilometers? Merdeces Benz wil do for sure! But Fusion?...Thanks!

6:00 .... enjoy

Everyone liked it cause the intro

Nice review with the resale price being so low with everyone buying SUVs I’m thinking about a titanium fusion what year would you recommend 16/17?

What model year is he talking about.. I'm looking at a 2010-2012

One thing that blew my mind about my fusions interior was the first time I used used the seat belt and felt the latch post or whatever is fuzzy- I just love that. lol

I have a 2020 Fusion SE, good car, no complains, my only dislike is being 2020 dont come with LED headlights.

What year and trim level and motor in your Fusion?

I'm thinking about getting a 2016 model, any comet about it, like engine type or....?

The 2009. Ford fusion. 4cy

Where did you hear news about them not canning the fusion?

Is this about a car 🚘 or drone ?

You should tint them windows will look better

Idk the Camry gets the same if not better gas mileage and has a better range. Otherwise I'd go fusion.

how reliable is it , i kinda wanna buy a fusion with the 2.0 ecoboost but keep hearing tranmission problems and dirty intake valves becuase of the direct injection, im told at work to get a toyota camry becuase fusion values drop like crazy and the camry should keep its value much better but still want a fusion even though the camry should last a lot longer..

Don't like the seal transmission

5 Minutes into the VIDEO before you mention WHY YOU LIKE THE FORD FUSION When the title says WHY I LIKE THE FORD FUSION. And start with after almost 5 minutes into the video “it has the option of AWD” Almost 50% of the Video is wasted at the beginning to those who are waiting to hear why YOU like your Fusion. At the end of a video you should mention your FUTURE PLANS. Sorry for sounding negative but I had a few minute Break and decided to watch your video. You want more SUBS? Don’t waste peoples time. There are many Awesome Car reviewers on RU-vid. Be one of them.

Especially Hybrid

review starts at 3.17.

I had to pause your video 1:30 seconds in. All you spoke about was the drone. Boring.

See lot of them. For sale. A lot

Great car, but no auto fold side mirrors, no led DRL and the gearbox works awful.

Starts at 4:45 😑

I dont like the all wheel drive

If these were so great, why did Ford kill them off?

DOESN T COMPARE TOO CAMRY IN RELIABILITY !!!

Go Sonata, it gets a bad rap for some reason. But it’s a great car.

Vw passat is a much better car
