This is my second Ford Fusion. The 2015 is incredible. Has all the bells and whistles, except moon roof (which I never use anyway). The 4 cyl eco-Boost engine is really peppy. So far my mileage in city is 25.9. Have had no issues with the car at all. Easy access from the drivers seat with the memory seat function. Back up camera a plus, and the electronics in this car with Microsoft Sync is terrific. The Sony sound system is awesome as well. Truck space is great with the fold down rear seats has a lot of room. 18" wheels make for a commfortable ride. This is a great bang for the buck.

My wife and I had been looking for her a new midsized vehicle for the last three months. We literally drove every competitor car in the class. Camry - Price was good, power and handling adequate but in typical Toyota fashion wanting in the features department. Accord- Price was an issue for a feature rich car but the engine noise... Good God the engine noise! Regal- Good car and actually our 2nd choice. Great power and handling but the Buick exterior colors couldn't get any more bland. The interior's color combinations are a visual assault on the senses and their Premium packages are just goofy if you ask me. Mazda 6- Good car also but the front seat I am almost certain uses granite for seat padding. Pricing was just a bit of concern with the Mazda as well. But not a bad choice if you are numb from the waist down. Also just a smidge weak in the power department with no engine upgrades available. Altima- Not a bad choice either, very comparable to the Mazda with slightly better seats but the same slightly lackluster performance with no upgrades available. Optima- A little floaty in the suspension. Good power from the turbo model. (on par with the Buick and Fusion) But despite claims of 20mpg on in the city, my 50 mile test drive was nowhere near that. I suspect the way that car is tuned you could realistically expect 14-15 in the city. Tons of features, but found most of them completely useless for our purposes. Sonata- Was a solid competitor across all measures with one exception. The lumbar support in the seats I am pretty sure were designed with a 2ft tall person in mind. For a non-homunculus it should be named pelvic/tail bone torture device. Malibu- Just off a little by every measure. Mostly quality of materials. The car felt cheap when compared to others on the list. Audi A3 & A4- Both good cars all around. A bit too pricey and the premium fuel requirement stinks. Not to mention dealerships are sparse. Passat- Just generally an uncomfortable vehicle and blasé on almost every count. If I forgot a car in the same class then I apologize but if you ask what about...? Then the fact I forgot it should tell you it was forgettable. I assure you we test drove all of them. Hands down the Fusion reigns supreme in this class of cars.

Don’t listen to bad reviews!!

When I bought this car over two years ago, I was weary of the bad reviews. They almost scared me out of the purchase, but in the end I couldn’t pass up the deal. I’m so glad I didn’t! This car has been amazing for me. With almost 200,000 miles on it, I’ve never had a bit of trouble. Other than normal maintenance, there have been no malfunctions on the car. I will say, the back up camera is glitchy but I believe that is due to a fender bender the car was in prior to my ownership. I love this car so much, I’m looking to purchase a new 2020 Ford Fusion Titanium. Mine is the SE with technology package, and was an amazing upgrade from what I had before (a Hyundai Sonata). The fusion outshines even the new Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Don’t believe me? Look at all three for yourself. Make sure to pay attention to details such as material quality, how the buttons feel, infotainment system, and door thud. The fusion is full of soft touch plastic even on the dash board and rear seat doors. The car and doors feel heavy and solid, unlike the competition. The buttons feel expensive when you press them and I can’t say the same for the accord or Camry. I average around 30 mpg in mixed driving which I am very happy with. I’m excited to get my 2020 Fusion before Ford stops making them! What a poor decision on their part. If you’re looking to purchase a 2015 or newer Fusion, go for it!

1.5L SE with technology package great so far!

Almost bought an Accord. So far, glad I didn't. I bought the deep impact blue with charcoal leather heated seats. It looks like a million bucks! The tiny little 1.5L EcoBoost is amazing. You think "really? This big 5 passenger car has a tiny 1.5L motor and it moves like this?" Plenty of power to pass or climb hills. Think it should be quicker? No problem! Drop it into sport mode and things get a little more exciting. It's not a Charger SRT but it gets the job done while sipping fuel. It's VERY hilly where we live and as long as you doing 60+ mph, it'll take all the hills in 6th gear, overdrive. Slower than that, there's not much torque left in this motor below 1500 rpm. The seats a very comfortable. The heat on your lower back makes you not want to get out of the seats. Huge trunk, quite ride. My only nit pick is there's a really nice place for your smart phone under the stereo, but the USB port is in the console under the arm rest. Should've been up near the radio instead of having to deal with a lose cord. Duh! The old Sync 2 system isn't as bad as they say it is but I'm sure the new sync 3 coming out on the 2017 I'm sure will be even better. Love the digital display panels too.

I read the reviews here before purchasing, so I wanted to come back and give some input too. ~~~~~We recently bought a used, 26k mile, one-owner, 2015 Titanium, Brick Red leather package and 18 inch fancy wheels, with just about all the bells and whistles you can get, and have put a couple thousand miles on it so far. I couldn't believe the low price of the car! I don't understand why people are shying away from it at all. After test driving it (first time I had driven one), I was super impressed. I've had some other really nice, 'more luxurious', higher-priced sedans in the past, but felt they had nothing on the Fusion. The ride is super good, with extremely low road noise. At 5'10' tall and a few extra pounds, the seats are extremely comfortable to me, with every adjustment you could want. Controls are all located nicely, and it has several interior aesthetic adjustments and options for those who like that. The 2.0 240hp turbo engine is more than enough power for the average guy...and I DON'T like my vehicles being under powered. Mileage has been pretty average so far. 22-23mpg all around driving, but I'm probably a little less aggressive than most. Not alot of pure highway driving with it yet, so I can't comment on that mileage at this point. ~~~~~~I agree with several comments on here about shifting. It is not butter smooth all the time, quite far from it. But for me, if I know it's just how the tranny works on this car, and there is no actual problem with it, it doesn't bother me. I don't need to have everything work like a 100k dollar car to feel good about a purchase. It's clunky at times, yes, but plenty good enough for me, and far from annoying. Like someone else said....the trunk opening is a bit small. It has plenty of room, but the opening itself is just a bit short.~~~~So far, there isn't anything I would really complain about with this car. We love it, and would buy another in a heart beat....especially for the price we got it at. :) ~~~~~~~ ****UPDATE 5/26/2017***** Several more months with this vehicle. Still really like it. It's not perfect, but still a very nice car. Have had MANY compliments from people that had never been a Fusion before, on the sharp look of the interior of the car! Gas mileage is not real good for a four cyl., and the car's MPG estimator typically differs from what it actually is when I fill up and calculate it myself. The car pads it by a few MPG....lol. Hmmm. So far everything is going as planned. I'd still buy the car again if I was given a do-over. :)
