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

For the Ford Fusion. I test drove all 3 versions. The 2.5 Duratech Ford built engine is under powered, and noisy, especially when accelerating and basically it is unrefined in my opinion. That's why this model with the 2.5 is always cheaper where ever you see it. . They could have probably put that engine in the focus and got away with it. However, If you don't mind that, go ahead an buy it and save about 4,000 because no body really wants it. But other than that, it's essentially the same car. The 1.5 echo boost is a bit stronger and is a better than the 2.5, but is still a bit noisy on acceleration. The 2.0 is probably the right choice for this car, but you take a hit in fuel economy and it's hard to buy one unless it's a fully loaded, very expensive, SE version or Titanium. For a car this size, I was expecting a better suspension. Even the compact less expensive, smaller, Ford Focus suspension gives a better ride (don't buy that car - google class action lawsuit - transmission ford focus). The ride is not bad though on the Fusion - just okay. I would not recommend it for long trips because the rear suspension seems to be partially sport tuned and stiff and you can feel the whole car rattle from the back on some that you hit. Also the front drivers seat lacks some support. Now you know why it's cheaper than it's competitors. One of the big downers of this car in my opinion is that Ford Forces you take on the 2017, 18, 19 models, a push button start and a Knob transmission. Whereas other major auto manufacturers give you a choice on some of their cars to take that or the normal shift and key ignition. The push button electronic start, I did have one on another Ford Titanium car I had owned. I do not recommend it. Eventually it burns out or malfunctions and it's a trip and 1/2 to get it to start - and scary especially if you are out of warranty. You are much safer with the key that turns the mechanism rather than relying on electronic start from the push button on the dash, especially from a Ford. Now if it was a BMW push start, I might have a different opinion. The transmission knob (instead of a traditional shift), looks cool but is awkward and dangerous in my opinion. With an automatic shift, I can shift it up and down with my eyes closed if I had to, but in the very least they stay glued to the road. But with this, I have to periodically stare down for 10 or 15 seconds or so and see what exactly I am shifting into. Ford arrogantly installed this on all models from 17 to present without doing the research and asking the customers what they want. Coincidentally consumer reports, April 2018 edition stated that models from 2017 and later show worse than average reliability in Power equipment and in-car electronics. (it's not a coincidence in my opinion!), while 16's, 15's, 14's etc, have better than average reliability in those areas. I am sending them a message by not buying any of their Ford Fusion cars from 17 or newer and I hope you will the same. By the way, the dealer that we visited had an abundance of brand new 17, 18, fusions still on the lot. (that should tell you something - yes?) But if none of what I told you bother you, you could probably get a good deal price wise if you bargain on a 17 or 18 and get it for less money than an 19 or 20 (it's essentially the same car), even though the 18 has large rebate until 1/1/2019. Now as I am adding to the review in 5/2020, Ford has discontinued this midsize sedan. That means no more are going to be made. That means, if they don't have enough confidence to build, sell this car and make a profit, do you really want it? For example: Toyota is still selling a midsize Camry Sedan; and Honda is still selling a midsize accord sedan and Hyundai is still selling a midsize Sonata Sedan and Chevy is still, etc, etc. Do you get the point? And then think about availability of parts and so forth as time goes on. How many of these parts will the dealer really keep in stock when the car is discontinued? I would steer clear if I were you. As of 11/2020, a lot more repairs than the average car. As of 12/2020 it's been discontinued. So it's now a low priority for Ford. If they don't think it's good enough to build any more, why should you buy any?

Other than a throttle control recall this base model is everything I expected. Performance is very adequate (for a 70 year old), gas mileage is unbelievable (40 MPG on on a drive from Las Vegas to Detroit (I never go over 70 MPH) ride and handling is the best I have ever had. The standard equipment is beyond my expectations. I had 2 Malibu's and they just didn't measure up to the Fusion in price or standard options. This Fusion is hands down the best value for the money in my 50 years of car ownership.

They fixed all the problems that my car was experiencing and it has been humping along ever since. It started out with some hiccups but they are slowing going away. When they arise Ford does a pretty good job fixing them.
