Disappointment

I bought the car new and have owned for about 1 and half years now. The car is not worth the sticker price. For 25K I expected much more. Looks like a performance sedan, but performs like a cheap economy car. While the numbers on the 2.5 liter four look good on paper, it only comes at the high rpms. I do a lot of highway driving, and in heavy traffic the constant down shifting to keep up with the flow is beyond annoying. The sport mode on the transmission keeps it in a lower gear longer, but every time you let off of the gas completely, it down shifts to slow the car down. The “sync” system has bugs, and built in annoyances. The system has locked up several times and will not reset without shutting the car off and restarting. I have the feature to automatically call 911 turned off. So every time you start the car, about 60 seconds later the system interrupts the radio to tell you 911 assist is turned off. Pros: We get around 8000 miles between oil changes. Gas mileage on the highway is great, around town, not so much. For city driving the car is not bad. Lucky for me, my wife “who only drives around town” loves the car. She is driving it, and I took her Jeep.

4.5 years and 70000 miles later, pretty pleased

A very competitive segment of cars. Drove the Fusion after test driving H. Sonata, H. Accord, T. Camry. Liked the solid feel behind the wheel and smooth acceleration. Couldn't beat the price. Went with the Fusion. Glad I did. After 70,000 miles, a few observations: Pro: 1. Smooth, quiet ride in a low priced vehicle, drives better than others in class. 2. Excellent fuel economy. We average 30-31 mpg in mixed driving..Fabulous. 3. Not many mechanical/electrical problems. Stress free ownership. Cons. 1. Seats stain very easily, and difficult to clean/remove stains. Wish I had gotten dark interior seats. 2. Crummy standard/oem shocks required replacement at 45k miles. 3. Cruise control always causes a downshift in transmission when coasting/slowing down. Very irritating when decreasing the speed. 4. Not gaga about the exterior styling, SYNC Media/Bluetooth connectivity, very low ground clearance (trade off for fuel economy)

Used vehicle acquisition with sustainable performance so far. Lots of options at a reasonable overall price for the package. Good finish quality judging by the exterior paint as well as the interior fit and finish. In summary, good choice that survived the test of time over the past few years .

2015 Ford Fusion SE 1.5

Purchased new just a few weeks ago and have less than 1,000 miles. First impression: Wow! What a great driving car that gets great fuel mileage. One of the other cars that I considered was the new Chrysler 200, which I rented for a 3 day trip this past weekend. Sooo glad I didn't buy the Chrysler. The Ford is so much nicer to drive; is more comfortable; and gets better fuel mileage. No buyers remorse here!

2015 Ford Fusion SE 1.5L - Advoid!!!

I purchased this car with 80K miles for my son. I read the reviews at that point which called it a reliable vehicle. The car has presented us with numerous expensive problems and is designed very poorly. A few of the Issues: The car started to overheat so we pulled over and had it towed home. We learned the problem was the cooling thermostat. A thermostat is about a $40 part typically in a easily accessible place, so no big deal. However Fusion thermostat is under the manifolds requiring half the engine to be dismantled, cost of repair over $1,500, for a task a layman should be able to perform for $40. We did the brakes, and the rotors were over $100 each. I only got 45K miles before had to redo pads and get new rotors again. I have a Toyota Highlander and Prius, their rotors were considerably less and brake job lasted much longer. Front light bulb went out. You cant reach in and just replace in 5 minutes like my Toyotas. You have to disassemble the front end pull the bumper and light assembly forward to get enough room to replace the light bulb. The job took about 3 hours to change a light bulb. We have had numerous other problems as well: several door lock actuators have been replaced, AC blower fan, and other items. I will never buy a Fusion and probably a Ford again, and I use to be a Mustang owner/ fan. Sincerely
