Robs' Fusion
This car is a dream to drive, I'm almost tempted to compare it with a used Beamer I test drove, it's that smooth. Ford has done a great job with this car I was all set to buy the Toyota Camry until i tested the Fusion.
Great, except for one important item
I've had my Fusion for two weeks, and it is great...fun to drive, comfortable ride, and stylish. The audiophile system is wonderful. I was convinced that Ford had a winner until I discovered that you cannot put tire cables or chains on the 17" wheels for winter driving. Where I live, chains are frequently required for winter driving in the mountains. (Those wheels look great, though!)
I like It!
Picked up my Charcoal Beige SEL V-6 with black leather last week. After reading all the reviews and road test data my expectations were high and this car has not disappointed me. I think my wife even likes it. So far, fuel economy seems to be as advertised which was one of my concerns. I would highly recommend this car to anyone looking for a mid-size sedan.
Fusion is Quiet and Stylish
Adequate performance & excellent handling. Stops on a dime. Quality of interior and exterior greatly improved compared to previous Ford products. Quick off the line if you smash the pedal to utilize the high gear. Midrange passing power is satisfactory but needs improving. Virtually no body lean when taking corners and the big tires on the SEL eat the pavement to satisfy its driver. Climate control on the SEL model is very quiet and the redundant climate and audio controls located on the steering is a ergonomic blessing. Suspension is superb giving you a rigid and quiet ride. Plenty of front and rear seat room and front seats are comfortable. Finally, headrests that are comfortable.
An easy choice over the Acura TL
I had decided on an Acura TL purchase this Spring until I saw a few ads for the Fusion. After a test drive and some internet research, it was an easy decision to purchase the V6 SEL. Not only did I get a car with comparable options, I saved over $11,000.00. So the Ford nameplate isn't an Acura - so what!
