Re: Fusion/Milan Recall [pod]
I have a 2009 SEL V6 and I went to the Ford Website and I thought it affected 2010 and 2011 models. Anyway, I appreciate the information and will check the website again when I get home later today. Thanks.

Re: POST #20 [jeffyscott]
I might have some insight into this, I own the 2009 mazda6 2.5 and also drove a rental ford fusion with the same engine. I noticed the fusion runs at lower rpm cruising speed, so the culprit might be the transmission/engine tuning. I prefer the how the fusion is tuned. wonder if there is a way to reprogram the mazda to match maybe by taking it to a ford dealer?

Re: Babbs3 [babbs3]
I don't know what you owe, but at the 4 dealerships I shopped for my Focus, I was offered between $16000 and $16500 and I ended up settling for $16250 at a dealership that originally offered $16000. That's less than the $17000 I originally wanted in trade. No one would come close to that because of "market fluctuations". I need my Fusion until my ordered Focus arrives and the timing needs ...

Re: Midsizers at the auto show [luckyseven]
It needs a major redesign as the current model is awful. I had a 2009, and it was not a very good car. Sure it was reliable, but material wise, very cheap, it was also noisy and handled like one of those old cars you see in movies now that float all over the place on shockless springs. The Fusion is a much better built car and has higher quality material ... Read More

Re: "Epic" Optima [stickguy]
I was just over at my local Kia Dealership getting a recall taken care of on my 2011 Sorento. They had a loaded Optima EX on the showroom floor. Had everything: Heated and Cooled front seats, Heated rear seats, Heated Steering Wheel, Nav, Panaromic roof, Etc. Was Pearl white with the beige interior.

Re: press request [debbiepski]
That's how I felt about the 2009 Camry Hybrid I had. After the first week I was very disappointed in what it had, and just could not figure out what made the car so highly rated. It squeaked, it rattled, the sunroof would stick, the seats were thin, the center stack lighting was way too bright and couldn't be adjusted, and was horrible when it get foggy at night, had to ...

Re: Your top 5 midsized Sedans [shabadoo25]
The interiors in the Fusion are a far cry above those in the Camry which sell for the same price range. I had a 2009 Camry, I now have a 2010 Fusion Sport. The Ford is far better in workmanship, material quality and comfort compared to the Camry, and they cost just about the same price.

Re: Help with New Car Decision [kcokie]
Fusion is a very good choice, in fact since Ford is dropping the Mercury brand, there will soon be some good deals on the Milan. I have a 2010 Sport, fast, quiet, comfortable, smooth ride, Sync, good MPG even with the high HP motor. Compared to the 2009 Camry I had, its worlds better.

Re: The cliche quandary [thepieguy]
RE: new vs. used... Agreed. If purchased smartly, and are able to keep right side up in the loan, you can do very well buying a new car. I have done that now for 3 years.

The cliche quandary
I'm choosing between a 2010 Fusion, 2010 Accord, or a used Fusion/Accord. I am having a REAL hard time figuring out why I wouldn't choose the Fusion in either case here.

As ... Read More

this news about the new 2011 Kia K5 (Optima's name in SK) outselling Sonata is groundbreaking and really quite refreshing. It is more success coming from new Design Chief Peter Schreyer of Kia (formerly the Design Chief of Audi Motors). You'll see Audi cues on new Kia's, but mostly on the new Kia SUV's. The new 2011 Kia Optima will face very stiff competition, but backy is right, all the hullabulloo ... Read More

Re: Midsize car for highway driving [andyfromva]
I have owned a 2009 Camry Hybrid, I now own a 2010 Fusion Sport. The Ford is much quieter overall than the Camry could possibly be.

Between the two, the fusion does not have a long enough track record, but so ... Read More

Re: 2010 Fusion 2.5L starting issue [newowner10]
The new 2010 Fusion has what Ford calls, "one touch" start. If you turn the key to the start position and let go, the starter continues to turn. The ECM takes over the starting process and monitors the number of times the crankshaft rotates as it adds fuel and ignition for the engine to start. On 2010 Fusion's built before August 2009, there is a problem with the starting process. On ... Read More

Struck Out on 2009 Ford Fusion Lease
Hello there! New member today! I contacted a Western Mass Ford dealer with whom I have had great past relationships. The best 3 year, 36,000 mile lease he could get me into would have been a $ 392.00 monthly payment! It seems tougher and tougher to find manufacturers with high enough residuals to make a lease work.

Re: 2010 Fusion SEL lease quote [gmoney15]
Hi Greg. Even though Ford is technically providing lease rate on the 2010 Fusion right now, Ford Credit's lease program for it is not that great.

Unfortunately, the monthly payment that you were quoted for this car looks about right to me. ... Read More

Re: Test drive [cannon3]
The days of Toyota/Honda dominating the 4cyl market in mid size sedans is coming to an end. I think that is a bit of a stretch.

While Fusion v2.0 is much improved and is much better then its predesesor, I'm not so sure Ford will dominate this crowded ... Read More

Re: I'm torn between 2009 and 2010 Fusion... [igozoomzoom]
I think you are correct, based on the Ford build-your-own website. But I'll be disappointed if they don't offer the sport appearance package. I don't need or want the 3.5 V6, but I'd sure like to have the sportier suspension with the four-cylinder and a manual transmission. Guess I'd better hunt down an '09 in Redfire Metallic with the sport appearance package while they're still out there.

It is if you go to an online pricing site like edmunds.com or kbb.com. For 2009 they list a "SEL V6 FWD" model and then you add options. For 2010 the only choices are "I4 SEL FWD" or "V6 SEL AWD".

Re: Lively safety info...offer more comparisons? [leonfam]
I tend to agree with stephen... check out the Hyundai Elantra. Lower price, compact dimensions, ESC standard. It also happens to have midsize interior room, according to the EPA. The Accord and Sonata are technically full-size sedans, though just barely. I do...but would like to hear some opinions/facts on comparing safety in Mazda6, Accord and Civic. To answer your request directly, all of the vehicles you mention are very safe, and ... Read More

Re: Price to expect for new 09 Milan? [drmurdoc]
I just purchased a 2009 Fusion SEL V6 with the rear spoiler, moon & Tune package, rear sensing, and all weather floor mats. MSRP was $26,715 paid $24,447. Invoice was $24,443. There are various options as far as rebates. You can get $3500 cash back if you use Ford Credit, $2500 cash back and the market rate, or $1000 back and 0%. Not sure if the 0% was for a 36 ...

Re: 2009 Optima gets with the (ES)program [backy]
But good to hear that Ford/Mercury is getting on board with ESC after not even offering it on the Fusion and Milan during its their 3 model years, I agree (although for competitive reasons only). However ESC is offered on the '09 Fusion as a $495 option. Not standard like the rest, or the 2010 Fusion, but still offered.

Re: 2009 Optima gets with the (ES)program [baggs32]
I was thinking of cars available now, vs. next year. But good to hear that Ford/Mercury is getting on board with ESC after not even offering it on the Fusion and Milan during its their 3 model years, or the pre-2009 Mazda6 I4 for that matter.

Re: 2009 Optima gets with the (ES)program [backy]
Good news, the 2009 Optima gets ABS, ESC, and traction control standard across the board, joining the Accord, Mazda6, Passat, and Sonata (and Legacy?) as "true" mid-sizers with ESC on every trim. Add the 2010 Fusion/Milan to that group too. All of them will have Ford's AdvanceTrac ESC and TC standard.

Re: 2009 Mazda 6i vs. 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 [mz6greyghost]
Your point? My '04 Mazda6 has 72K miles with just about every option, and I've had ONE issue, a faulty gas cap, replaced under warranty. And handling IMO is just as good, since they're both FWD, while saving $$$$ with both the purchase and service/parts. The A6 is AWD, if thats what your talking about. Its almost IMPOSSIBLE to find an A6 in FWD, because with the FWD option you can't ... Read More

greyghost, where are ya? *Rushes in to sit down* Sorry I'm late! :) Let's see, where to start... The Mazda6 "loose and cheap"? Right... The Mazda6 is THE best handling midsize sedan in this price range, period. I've driven the Accord, Altima, and the Passat, and they don't even come close to what the 1st-gen 6 was capable of. That's why I bought one. Yes, the Fulan and the 6 share ... Read More

Re: 2009 Mazda 6i vs. 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 [dm1212]
You just ruinned your argument about the Fusion and Mazda 6. Like the Fusion and Mazda 6, The Routan and Town and Country share the same chassis. The Caravan and Routan share a whole hell of a lot more then the Fusion and Mazda6. With the arrival of the 2010 Fusion and 2009 Mazda6, they are more like 3rd cousins twice removed.... Here is where the Routan / Caravan are similar ... Read More

Re: The Great Leather Debate [explorerx4]
So, what did you took in the end? Fusion? While I did not drive both of the cars (only an '08 Sonata), I've spoken with some other drivers. Most will agree that Sonata is quieter and feels more refined (especially when idle). The 2009 Sonata interior is just gorgeous with blue backlighting and high-quality material, has excellent prices, and is a bit bigger in all dimensions. The Fusion's interior is nowhere ... Read More

Re: 2009 Mazda 6i vs. 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 [dm1212]
They are not built in the same plant. The Fusion is built in Mexico! The Mazda6 is built at Auto Alliance International in Flat Rock, MI which was originally built by Mazda and called Mazda Motor USA Manufacturing. Ford then bought into it so it could build some of their cars. They do not share the same suspension either. The 4 cyl is a Mazda engine and the V6 WAS, is ... Read More

Re: 2009 Mazda 6i vs. 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 [aviboy97]

I have driven an 05 Mazda 6, and a 2006 Fusion and they drive the same, cheap, and loose. So why ... Read More

Re: 2009 Mazda 6i vs. 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 [akirby]
The fusion drives like crap. My mother has a 2006 SEL V6, although the car is peppy, the steering is lose, and is pittiful for FWD in snow. I think she paid 28 grand for, biggest waste of money ever. I strongly don't reccomend a Ford product...and considering the Mazda 6 is practically a Fusion, I would stay away from it. Looks can be decieving, I would go with the Altima. ... Read More

Car for teen driver
I'm thinking of buying my 16 y/o son a 2009 Ford Fusion, primarily because it seems to be the least expensive mid-size sedan to receive a top safety rating from IIHS, with the optional ESC. I don't see a lot of posts on the Fusion, anyone have an opinion? I'd rather not buy him a brand new car, but the ESC seems to be an important accident avoidance feature, based on ... Read More

Re: help me choose a sedan [nick_22]
Five or ten years ago that would've been easy (Honda, Toyota, then a long steep dropoff). Now it's not--cars like the Fusion and Sonata are much better than their precursors of a few years ago. I haven't driven the latest versions of some of these cars, but there seems to be a consensus with regard to the following points: 1. Honda and Toyota no longer have a monopoly on good build ...

2010 Fusion
So, after all your messages, let's see what Ford is bringing to the table in a few months... the 2010 MY should arrive by Feb. 2009. I wonder why there is no discussion board about this upcoming upgrade... New engines, better NVH, better interior... let's wait and see.

2010 Ford Fusion engines- 2.5L and ?
I'm very curious about which engines will be offered on the 2010 Ford Fusion (and Mercury Milan if it's still around). The current 2.3L I-4 will be replaced by the same 2.5L being introduced in the 2009 Mazda6. But what about the V6? It seems unlikely that the V6 from the Mazda6 will also make it to the Fusion. Currently, the only Ford using that 3.7L V6 is the Lincoln MKS. ... Read More

Re: 2009 Mazda6 pricing [backy]
There are emotions at play here. I kind of like the Fusion's interior and exterior slightly better. I felt the engine power was about equal.

Like you said it should be a no brainer if it has a better warranty and a more secure vehicle ... Read More

Re: 2009 Mazda6 pricing [akirby]
Is ESC standard on every Fusion and Milan? That is news to me. This is 2008. Actually 2009 in terms of model years. Look to the right. Four of those cars have ESC standard on every trim line. On 3 others, it's either a readily available option (and was in 2008 or before) or standard, depending on trim line. The slackers? Ford and Nissan. How many Fusions and Milans have AWD? ... Read More

I think Ford's larger-car lineup is having its lunch eaten right now by Chevy.

Yeah, the 4-cyl Fusion), not good at all with the current gas prices. And the market for large cars is in severe decline now ... Read More

Re: 2010 Fusion interior [explorerx4]
I'd have to agree. When I went to the New York Auto show in April, I sat in a couple of Malibus. IMHO, the interior was certainly good looking, but I felt that the two tone color scheme didn't work. The psuedo aluminum one however, was great. Obviously this 2010 Fusion is one equipped with the nav. I'm curious to see one without it. I remember reading an article about the ... Read More

3.5L in Fusion
My crystal ball is pointing to the use of a 3.0L with new heads, intake and exhaust plus VVT that is in the new 2009 Escape being offered in the Fusion. This engine should be rated in the 240 hp. Ford launched a new mid-range 6 speed trans for the 09 Escape and at launch they said this trans will be offered in one other product next year. The only logical ... Read More

Re: rented a Mercury Milan [busiris]
