Dear Edmund: This is car. It has four wheels and drives. You can take it to the store or to work. There are other places you can drive it if you want to. I like this car. I am handsome. That said, this car makes me even handsomer. You should probably buy a Ford Fusion. KR Update: Dear Edmund: The car and I continue our walk towards fifty, I with greying temples and a more nuanced outlook on life and my beautiful Ford with but a blemish from small rock dropped by an inconsiderate dump truck on an interstate highway. We persevere, the marks of time never impairing inner gracef and dignity. Thank you for asking. I hope your universe also finds you well. Yours sincerely, I suppose. KR Update: Dear Edmund: Salutations to you and yours in this most challenging of all years. I and my Fusion roll onward into what promises to be a winter of generalize discontent. I have crossed in sixth decade of servitude upon this veil of tears and my intrepid friend into her eighth decade of mileage. We do so with bravery, passion and resolution. Mr. Friedrich Nietszche believed that the things which do not kill us make us stronger. Ms. Kelly Clarkson, a century a half after Nietszche shared the same moral vision. So it is with I and my Fusion. With good habits, character, open eyes and regular trimming of an ever-more-greying beard, a man will remain handsome and effectual well past the midpoint of his life. So it is with my Ford. Her brake pads and rotors became tired. But a restorative cleanse retreat at the dealer has renewed my beloved and given her a new outlook! She stops just as she once did. In all ways she feels right as rain! She remains as beautiful as the day we first met, and I take no notice of the indentation that mysteriously appeared — probably an uninvited love tap from an impetuous harasser — on a day she waited for me in the parking lot of the hardware store. I am sure my beloved and her irish gave the offensive character a good smacking in return. I did not ask what happened ...for it meant nothing. Edmund, I reiterate my hope that you are well and most appreciate your inquiry. You are a thoughtful friend to keep up our correspondence. Do not allow this world to be too much with you. For what other people think — how they review us — ultimately matters little. Life is impermanent. Some day, I and my Ford Fusion will part ways. That day, however, is a long way off and I and she will continue to seize all the opportunities that this life gives us. I hope you do the same my friend. I remain, KR Dear Edmund: Greetings and salutations my old friend. Thank you for asking. Edmund, I must confess that I am disappointed in you as a friend. While it is kind of you to inquire upon my Ford Fusion ... she purrs like a kitten and carries on with grace and aplomb... you have volunteered precious little of your life. I’m beginning to think that our correspondence is one-sided. Perhaps it is the unintentional inconsideration of a young man on the move. A man busied upon by the universe. Allow me to bestow a bit of advice. The world is too much with us, late and soon. Getting and spending we lay waste our powers. Conserve thy strength dear friend. And worry not about me and my beloved Ford Fusion. For together we are drinking life to the leas! I remain, KR

I have owned several Ford's, an escort, a focus, and an escape, I keep going back to Ford, because the customer service is excellent, the prices are good and the cars are nice. I am especially impressed with my new fusion. It is so spacey. I love the backup camera and the handling when driving. EXCELLENT!

2016 Ford Fusion Titanium 4dr Sedan w/EcoBoost (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

As a twice previous winner in the World Ford Motorsports Drag Race Challenge and now retired, I needed a car that would do as I asked. This 2016 Fushion Titanium Turbo does just that. Anytime I ask. I have had 10.00 second e.g. cars and this at times is as much fun without the cost. I would recommend this car to anyone with heart. I will never sell this one.

2016 Ford Fusion SE 4dr Sedan AWD w/EcoBoost (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

The description above states all wheel drive. This is incorrect. The car has front wheel drive. This car car was a lease vehicle with just over 22,000 miles. It actually has the 1.5 turbo ecosport engine. The car runs great especially on the interstates. Driving back to PA from Toledo, I got 41.2 mpg traveling at 73 mph. Nice instrumentation, very easy to use. Very comfortable seats. The memory feature for the seats is great. I'm completely satisfied and would recommend this car without any restrictions.

2016 Fusion, back again for second tour

I own a 2012 Fusion SEL with 162,000 miles which was a CPO, as is this car. It has been excellent and virtually trouble-free and it was time for a newer vehicle. I drive 40,000 miles a year for my sales job and comfort and reliability is paramount to me, along with an American brand when visiting jobsites that are riddled with Ram, Ford, and Chevy/GMC pickups. The last Fusion was Mexican built (as most are) and my new acquisition was built in Flint Rock MI. My 2016 is an SE with FWD and the 1.5 4-cylinder Ecoboost (no option was available in Edmund's to pick that model). The car has the Luxury and Tech packages, plus a sunroof, so it's practically a Titanium save for the 2.0 Ecoboost motor and no Sony radio - but this unit is upgraded to ten speakers and sounds very good. This kept the price thousands lower due to the SE tag. I was nervous about the concept of Ecoboost when it first came about, but now about 5 years later feel comfortable. The car will not win any drag races, but it's certainly adequately powered. No turbo lag that I can discern. I intend to run K & N air and oil filters and full synthetic Valvoline oil to help with power and turbo longevity. The aftermarket Fram air filter is $23, the K & N $50 and can be washed to reuse, so I figured, why not? The Fusion has a personality, unlike the Accord and Camry, with a sporty feel, and the touchscreen interface (now upgraded in 2017 models onward) is not tough to master despite some rough reviews on the various car websites. I do miss the large knobs of the 2012 Fusion radio, but at least this unit still has them. Also, the touch buttons of the climate control and seat heaters were changed to real buttons in 2016, with redundancy in the touchscreen as well. I am a big fan of the turn signals within the side-view mirrors, and the auto-dimming driver's side view (and rear view) are godsends to me at night. But I miss my change drawer----yes, some of us still pay cash for tolls and parking meters! The sunroof shade is still flimsy, but at least there is no "bleed" of light through the leading edge anymore. LED interior lighting is a big upgrade. The basic leather seats are excellent so far. New headrests are a giant improvement. I think the electric steering is a bit overboosted and provides less road "feel" than before. Center console, door pockets and glovebox are all substantially increased in capacity. Trunk is deeper but a bit narrower due to the old-school hinges for the lid. The headlights are outstanding and a huge improvement, even without using the fog lights. First tank of gas MPG was just under 30 with mostly highway driving at 75-80 MPH. I had it as high as 31 when I was keeping to 55-60 on country roads.
