Used 2006 Ford Fusion Consumer Reviews
top out
This car has been great, good to drive and good gas mileage. Drives good on the highways and mountions.
Passed on an Accord for a Ford
I compared the Fusion to the Camry and Accord. It drove better than both and was priced less than a Hyundai. I'm a first time Ford owner, and am very pleased so far. The seats are extremely comfortable, fun to drive, great features. I'm getting 30 MPG according to the trip computer in mixed around town and highway driving. I've never owned a car that attracted so many positive comments. It looks and drives like a much more expensive car. If my car budget was $10K higher than it was, I'd still buy this car. Ford has a winner with the Fusion!
Three hours a day commute
Since I spend a lot of time on the highway, the little things really affect me. First off, the 6 speed auto trans is smooth, but the Fusion gives me no feedback or control over what gear it is in. When punching the gas (6 cylinder) to pass someone there is a pause while the engine revs up and the 6 speed fumbles to find the right gear. This seems fairly unsafe to me. I would like to have a control to send the transmission into lower gears. Also, while the cruise control is on, if I increase speed with the gas pedal, the transmission fumbles around too much. I can see the results on the tachometer. Otherwise, WOW! What a lot of car for the money!
Great Vehicle
It's really a great car with fantastic handling, good fuel mileage, a peppy 4 cylinder, and plenty of room. After over 3500 miles I've consistently averaged about 28 mpg with a mix of city and highway driving. This is a family sedan that is actually fun to drive!
Deal or No Deal? DEAL!
Excellent gas mileage. Sporty look. Drives like a sport car, hugs the curves, gets from zero to ? in a amazing few seconds fast! Has safety air bags not only for the front, but for the whole side also. Has steel safety bars in the front side doors. Drives like a dream. For the low price, you get an amazing amount of extras. Has a 6-cd and 6 speakers, the steering wheel moves not only out, but up and down like a airplane. Ample head and body room, adjustable drive seat also adjust up and down. Plenty of storage room, inside the car and trunk. Back seats fold down. Radio feature on steering wheel, so you don't have to reach over and adjust the actual radio. Excellent low price.
