2010 Ford Fusion SPORT 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Had a Ford 18 years ago in high school. Since then not very excited about the line up. My buddy who works for Ford said "just get in to one" I test drove the Fusion Sport and was so impressed I purchased it. The only negative was the Eagle RSA tires. You give the fusion some gas and the tires squack instead of grab. I immediately replaced them with my favorite tire Michelin Pilots. Climate control buttons could be angled better. Fun car pretty good gas mileage (27 HWY, 18 city so far). Definitely a car to consider.

Favorite Features

Nav, Radar, Acceleration

Suggested Improvements

Michelin Tires, Climate Controls on the steering wheel and more ergonomically correct.

May be the best mid size car

Written by: mettech on 10/09/2009

Vehicle

2010 Ford Fusion I-4 SEL 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

Review

SEL, 302A, 2.5 I4, Nav, Remote Start, Smokestone, Med Light Stone. Seat are very comfortable. Rear seat room is a little tight with the frnt seat back. We get a 33-36 MPG Hyw. Very quite car. No wind or engine noise. Very little road/tire noise. Requested a brochure and we got an additional $750. rebate from Ford. We purchased the car at invoice since it was lower than X-plan price. The 2010 Fusion SEL may be the best mid size on the market!! Outstanding value!!!!

Favorite Features

Nav and Sync are outstanding features. I will not buy another car with out them. The weather maps, weather forecast, sports info, gas prices (w/directions), 911 assist, BLIS, rear view camera are a must have and a lot of fun.

Suggested Improvements

Sony sound system is "so-so". Fog lights are worthless. They may need adjustment. HID lights should be included in the 302A option package.

2010 Ford Fusion I-4 SE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6M)

Review

I just got the vechicle last week. And this is my first car. I love the exterior, the face is so cool. Compared cars on the market Ford fusion offer the best deal among the most mid-size sedan. I really like spending time sit behind the wheels. I'm a tall guy(6.5),when i sit in the car there still have a lot of room overhead and leg. Personally, I think Ford did a good job on this new 2010 sedan.

Another great Ford

2010 Ford Fusion V6 SEL 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I love this vehicle. It handles well, gets good gas mileage, and looks great. Sync is awesome! Ambient lighting is nice also. Getting 22 mpg in the city, which I think is good for an AWD vehicle.

Favorite Features

All wheel drive, Sync, and tight handling.

Suggested Improvements

Dash board controls are a bit awkward and there aren't enoough cup holders in back seat.

Another winner from Ford

2010 Ford Fusion V6 SEL 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Test drove a bunch of cars: Kia Rondo, Hyundai Sonata/Azera/Genesis, VW Golf, Honda Civic. Fusion won out over all of them altho the Rondo's hatchback is my fav style. Have owned 2 Escorts, Contour, and Taurus in last 20 yrs. Went to check out another Taurus, nothing on lot but the Fusion was a real surprise--plenty of room, great fold-down rear seat design, good power. Appreciate Ford's handling & ABS brakes as well. Fusion was a much smoother and more polished car than the $38K Hyundai Genesis! Check into Ford's service pkg: set price for all service maint to 100K/7 yrs. It's a great deal in high-cost labor areas.

Favorite Features

Power, handling, MS Sync system, Ford service pkg (all maint. to 100K/7 yr)

Suggested Improvements

None-expect Fusion to have same quality/reliability of our previous Fords.

It's a Ford BABY

2010 Ford Fusion SPORT 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I went from a 2009 Camry Hybrid to this one. The Sport handles on Rails, Gets up and goes, and comfort is top notch. Bluetooth works much better than Toyota's, I can actually have a conversation. Sync is Awesome, the Sony system rocks. The styling is great, quality of the fit and finish great. I am glad to finally have a Ford I like again, haven't had a Ford Car that I liked since my 1992 Crown Vic. I still own a 1999 F350 Crew Cab Lariat Dully Diesel that I love, but just too much vehicle to be a daily driver. The Sport fits the bill perfectly as a Family sedan and fun car at the same time.

Favorite Features

Sync, Bluetooth, power, 31 MPG highway, Handling, Ride, quietness, COMFORT, design, but my favorite part, over all else. It's a FORD Baby!! It's also very quiet compared to the Camry.

Suggested Improvements

Move the drivers temp to the steering wheel, Hood struts instead of the prop rod. A Smart key system like Toyota and Hyundai would be perfect. That is the ONLY thing I miss about the toyota.

Ford = Fun On the Road Driving

2010 Ford Fusion SPORT 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I went from a 2009 Camry Hybrid to the Fusion Sport, I couldnt put up anymore with the Toyota's poor quality and lousy ride. The Sport is a fantastic car, ride, comfort, fit and finish, all above par. Power is great, handling is great, 31 MPG on the highway from the big V6, and the car is quiet, something I could not say about the Camry Hybrid. This is the first car to put a grin on my face when I put my foot down, and its a family Sedan! The Bluetooth is superior to the Toyota, I can actually have a conversation now. I love the SYNC. I will never go back to a Toyota. I am a true Ford man, this is my 7th Ford, and I LOVE it! Thanks Ford for making a car I Like again! I still have my F350 Too

Favorite Features

Power, Handling, Comfort, and 31 MPG on the highway. What more can anyone ask for? I like the styling, the interior is good looking, the sunroof is very quiet opening and closing. The Sony system ROCKS, Sync Rocks! I can talk on the phone now without delays on the bluetooth, unlike the Camry.

Suggested Improvements

The only thing that can be improved would be the placement of the center stack controls, the Climate is too low. Move the drivers temp to the steering wheel and they will be fine. Add push button start, the Camry and Veracruz both have them, and spoiled me, I have to remember to get my key out now.

First Ford ever!

Written by: Ryanboy on 09/28/2009

Vehicle

2010 Ford Fusion I-4 SE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6M)

Review

Impressive car that won us over with its comfort, solidity, safety record, gas mileage and fun quotient! We have the smooth-shifting 6-speed AT. Tested a few mid-size sedans; came down to Accord (when will Honda ever install split fold-down rear seats?), Mazda6 (a blast to drive but odd "tiger lounge" interior fabric) and Fusion. The Fusion won in part because we wanted an attractive car (like Mazda6) that doesn't look like every other car on the road (like Accord). Have put 5K on in two months (double our normal mileage) in part because it's now our regular "go-to" car--so fun to drive!

Favorite Features

Exterior styling--front and back! (Looks best in black or red paint.) Sync hands-free system. Sunroof. Front seat comfort. Very quiet; solid build; good gas mileage (27 city; 32/33 hwy.). Lots of room for four people w/luggage.

Suggested Improvements

Surprisingly, no exterior temp gauge. Alloys, not plastic wheel covers for mid-tier SE. Brighter headlights. Electronic steering needs just a bit more "road feel."

Throttle Control-2010 Ford Fusion

Written by: DALE on 09/25/2009

Vehicle

2010 Ford Fusion I-4 SE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6M)

Review

I Purchase my Ford Fusion the last week of August. The 2nd week of Sept, 800 miles later. The wrench sign lights up and the vehicle will not drive over 20mph. I stop the vehicle for 5 mintues. Everything starts up fine, and a few minutes later the wrench lights up again and the car will go only 10 mph. I take it to Ford with the check engine light on and the wrench light on. The Dealer replaces the Throttle Body Assembly. I pick up the vehicle and the next day the same thing happens again. I take it back and they can not find anything wrong with the vehicle, they even drove it for 30 miles. So I go pick up the vehicle today and before I get home(4 miles away), the wrench light comes on.

Favorite Features

Snyc control

Review

- what a car - excellent ride and handling, really nice interior, quiet, solid feel and a smooth, powerful engine. This is a fun ride which has an elegant, high-end feel to it. The SYNC system along with the Sirius Radio are also great features. I got over 200K trouble free miles on my Taurus and hope this Fusion is just as reliable. The Camry and Accord can't touch this car when it comes to value for your dollar.
