Seriously, Daniel devotes a good chunk of time putting out wonderful, informative videos for us to enjoy and some of you have the nerve to criticize and run down his choice in a new car. All of you should be ashamed of yourselves!! Daniel is very proud of his new purchase (and rightly so). How would you feel if the situation was reversed? I really hate how mean American's are towards one another at times. Social media really brings out the ugliness in our society. I just want to say "congratulations, Daniel"! I hope you and your new Fusion have many, many happy and carefree miles together. Thanks for putting out so many great videos... I really appreciate your hard work.
I bought one new Ruby RedTitanium in 2013 when they first came out. Every gas station i stopped at, someone asked what I was driving, many photos taken. A lot of people mentioned the Aston Martin inspired grill too. In 2018 I had a new one as a company car, base model with a really nice but rather boring 2.5. I've been trying to decide between a slightly older Lexus IS350 and a newer Fusion, tonight I think I'm staying brand loyal and picking up a 2016-2017 Fusion, I've taken LOOOOOONG drives in one and they are just so nice to drive, especially for the price. This 2.0, everyone doubted, being a Ford tech I was sure it would price itself and that it has. I work in the aftermarket industry and am in shops and dealerships all day, there are no mechanics that can say 'look out for .....: they are just so reliable. Thanks for the vid, you finally made up my mind.
I rented this car when I went for vacation to the US. I totally loved it! They gave it to me brand new 0 miles on it and returned it with 1,500 miles in 4 days! Lol. The engine was a ecoboost turbo and the car was the titanium version. Loved the engine torque and the fast response, but mostly the quietness and roar upon rpm range. Cruise control made a great driving experience. 1+ MPH made a huge response and going downhill the car automatically braked for me. Never went over the cruise control once! Beautiful body and design. Great Sony radio and button lay out was nice. It crashed once but recovered quickly and phone calls threw bluetooth was a breeze with hands-free on the steering wheel. Great trunk space too! In the city it used more fuel, but on highway it was very economical. I would love to go for a Fusion for my daily car! Great interior and space. Loved the key fob also! Very nice to remote start! Just simply elegant!
really glad you mentioned that clacking under the hood. I have a 2012 focus that I believe uses that same pump and sounds similar. I just bought it so I was worried something was wrong but that makes a lot of sense now.
Whats up Daniel, I have watched your videos ever since I was interested in buying an Excursion. Sadly I have not bought one, I ended up grabbing a 2017 Ford F150, but I still live watching your videos man, ,and I always have something to learn and enjoy from them. Thanks again man, TAKE IT EASY!!
Very nice review on your new fusion! I liked this better than the others video because of the better explanation on the technical as well as includes the mechanical issues as well unlike others where they aren't aware of it. I'm happy to know that you have no problem driving your fusion.
Congrats on your Fusion purchase. I have a 2013 Taurus Limited, I like the car, very reliable, but the Fusion maybe my next purchase. I'm sure you saved quite a bit buying used
I was pretty set on getting an F150 for my next car, but I think you may have sold the Fusion for me, I always liked it, and getting one of those here in NY is probably easier than an F150. Great video Daniel +DanielJaegerFilms
Good review Daniel! Just like you did, I now own a 2008 Ford Fusion SEL V6 and I absolutely love the car. It rides like a luxury car and I never have had any major mechanical issues with it. I'm looking at getting another Fusion as well so it was nice to get your take on it. Like Ryan G pointed out, "only 27mpg?" You know the old Fusions maybe get 18mpg in the city so this would be a great improvement to the fuel bills.
same car here is in Australia .just called a Mondeo and our last falcon looks almost identical except it's a 4 litre straight 6 turbo and 5 litre coyote V8.looks nice
I drove my cruze for 37k miles and my electric power steering was awesome the whole time. steering effort was the same at all speeds, coming from the rear drive camp when I'm finished making a turn i loosen my grip on the wheel and allow it to "snap back" to center, I don't steer back to center. Electric racks snap back to center fast and the whole way, even faster and more fully than their rear drive hydraulic counterparts. I've driven several older front drives that had be steered back, I detest this.
i have the same car, its quiet to me, also if some1 is trying to race you at a stop light, you can beat most v6 and v8s, i got the car cuz im 6'3 210lbs, the seats feel great, tried other cars
A friend has a '13 Escape with the 1.6L, his oil is always black before 3,000 miles. Keep an eye on it, I always change mine every 3,000, but I don't have a turbo, and my oil is usually a light to dark brown.
Very interesting I just bought the same exact used car last week 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium in black and 42k miles, it drives great. Very fun car to drive, I will keep watching to see what your experience is with yours and compare to mine mine is black as well
I can attest to the horrible economy of the city style driving. I had the 1.5 in my 2015, and I struggled to get 22 over the 1 year/7k I had it before it went lemon law due to no crank no start issues. I miss the car to an extent, but love my 2016 Legacy. The only styling complaint I have for this generation fusion is that the trunk lid looks incomplete without the spoiler due to the creases. Comfortable, compliant, and very quick to heat up and cool down Ford traits that I miss.
The front of this car is beautiful but the rear could have been prettier. Usually the design of the front of any vehicle is hindered due to pedestrian crash safety, but the rear has almost no restrictions in that regard. Good car nonetheless.
Love this level of Fords, the front is kinda Aston Martin. They calle it kinetics Design here, but it is very Aston Martin, after all, Ford bought it. It is even more clear in the Mondeo. No sure if Mondeo is the equiv of the fusion at USA or there is still a bigger Ford in the line. Nice styling and technology.
I just purchased the same ford fusion...luv it except when getting into the driver side I continue to hit the top of my head against the top of door pillar including my wife...but we still luv luv it
The MPGs on the 2.0 is very overrated. I only get 27 when highway driving, city is more like 21. The 2.7 in the F150 gets just as good of gas mileage, it's strange.
my 2017 Titanium only has two washer fluid nozzles i do how ever have sync 3 and have heated and cooled seats with the hid and led fog and head lights and yes there amazing on the highway at night
I love my 2017 ford fusion platinum and I have no problem with my Sync 3 I bought my 2017 ford fusion platinum used with only 17262 miles for $ 25500. I think food is making a big mistake getting rid of the Fusion.
Hi bro, I am thinking of buying this car, I would like to know how it looks, if it is good or bad ? They sell me the 2016 titanium with engine 2.0 ecoboost turbo. Regards from Dominican Republic
Do you still have this car? I'm looking at this one and it's the Fusion Energi. Do you know if those are reliable? I really want a Fusion sedan because the new Camry 8 speed transmission sucked when I test drove it!
My 2013 Ford Fusion Titanium had a recall on the safety door latches and they were replaced in 2018 by a local dealer. Its been 18 months since the latches were replaced and while driving to work my door flew open while driving..I pulled over & walked to the passenger side front door and tried to close it..The door bounced back open..The safety latch (which was recalled and fixed) the recalled part broke.. I took it to the dealer Coccia Ford in Plains Twp. PA. Frank Dominick the service manager states Ford only gives you a 12 month warranty on a recalled part..This seems ridiculous and it also cost me $279.00 to be exact..I called Ford Service and they don't care! I've owned cars for over 35 years and not one of them I had to worry about the door opening while driving..I'm done with Ford 2013 Ford Fusion Titanium owner #Ford #FixOrRepairDaily #CheapHeap #MexicanMadeGarbage #FordBlows
I really like that style of Fusion as well, but I've been kinda nervous about working on it. Every Ford product I've worked on so far has been a major pita to work on and ends up with me ultimately wanting to punch the engineers in the face.
The Ford direct injected engines have serious carbon deposit issues, some 2017 ecoboosts have gone back to traditional fuel injectors combined with direct injection in order to address the issue, your 5000 mile oil changes with conventional oil on a turbo car are stretching it a bit,you need to. disregard the 10k interval that's just a selling point these engines work harder than ever and make more heat,the turbo puts additional stress on the oil as well. That car looks a bit like the late 90s camaros especially the grille,looks plain Jane to me sorry I don't see anything aggressive about that car,as long as you like it and it's reliable that's all that matters.
John DiMartino Ford engineered the Ecoboost engines very very well. Gen1 & Gen2 Ecoboost have been very reliable! Ford is no stranger to designing turbo charged engines.
I have 100k on mine and I can tell you they do have their issues. The purge valve is faulty and will cause your car to run rich fouling out the converter. Its a very common issue on these cars and it's very hard to find the part as they discontinued it knowing it was bad, but they never recalled on it and it doesn't get bad until you get up over 80k and outside warranty.

Thanks for sharing, well I have one question for you. I just finished college and I live in Fargo ND, and it gets very very cold, and I'm now looking for a new car, I like the Fusion, style, design, and the gas mileage, yet my family keeps saying go for the Camry.... So what is the pros and cons between them? Thanks for your time and considerations
Greetings found best 13 fusion I hate reading the negative comments all over the web. The Camry has reputation of mind free problems or less known. The fusion seems like I hope it starts today feeling. So I am torn as you are they are beauty's and this is why I decided to flank on my appointment to make a deal on one today.
Hi Daniel, have you heard about the global window up and down. If you hold the unlock button down it will roll down all of the windows and vent the sunroof. Also if you hold the lock button down it will close everything up. On the navigation, it this a Sony radio thing? I have a 2016 SE with Sync2 and I have an SD card with maps on it. Maybe i could copy it for you? My SD slot is in the center console.
Captain MashedPotato it's the keypad for locking and unlocking the car if you don't have the key. Also opens the trunk. A lot of higher spec fords have them here.
Good video! What happened to you not driving your truck anymore? But instead your driving a fusion?!?!?! Thats is a demotion of the man card right there LOL
I just bought a 2016 fusion from my neighbor he is an old guy who can't drive anymore he bought it brand new and sold it to me for 3k. It only has 4k miles on it!
lol you arent gonna sell me on the smoked tips, those things are crusty as fuck. that fusion is NOT aggressive looking in any way in my opinion. an aggressive looking car would be a new corvette or a new viper. this is just a plain Jane sedan
sorry man but the new corvette is trying way too hard to look like a super car. The viper is fine but then again neither of those cars are in the price range of this car. It may not be the sportiest but it's a good looking sedan, especially compared to the other stuff in the price range.
Alex Caulfield Plain Jane would be the Camry, Accord and Optima. The Fusion has a very modern and bold styling. And at certain angles, it looks aggressive for a midsize car. Now if you want a truly aggressive car, nothing beats the Lamborghini Veneno.
Am always hoping to get positive feed back from bloggers here on this joint.but most bloggers just have bad taste .its just confusing just to buy a simple car so u r left not impress by bloggers will just av to do my own thinking .
It's great when you lock your keys inside the car or just need to run out and grab something out of it but don't have your keys on you. But I'm sure many people never use it.
I've got the 2015 UK version (Mondeo), 2.0 litre Diesel Estate (Wagon), and it's the best car I've had! Pulls like a train, corners like it's on rails and is comfy as hell! Mine has the LED headlights and they are pretty awesome to be honest, if there was a way of fitting them on yours I'd definitely have a think about it. I did note that there are numbers on the door, what on earth are those?
Eddiecurrent2000 the number keypad on the door is for locking, unlocking, and opening the trunk without having the key. It's been available on fusion since 2008MY
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!
I think I'm going to wait on a fusion because I'm thinking by 2020 there will be an all new fusion because this platform is getting old. The current fusion is a beauty though
