Agreed. It's funny that many people viewed this as a grandpa car back in the day -- along with the Suzuki Ignis which is a fairly similar concept -- and now they keep buying this type vehicle :D Okay, maybe small crossovers have evolved in terms of styling and suspension tuning since then, but the concept -- like you said -- is basically the same. :D
It says a lot when the two best selling Ford models up until recently are endangered with one of them already ending production at the end of its life. the Puma seems to be the big seller for Ford now although the chip shortages haven't helped.
I was living for 6 years in Lithuania. It is one of the best cars i was driving there which handle the snowy bumpy roads there.... Especially the 1.4 diesel engine which was turning without any problems
As always, i'm fascinated to discover new cars that i didn't know they existed. In Canada, Ford introduce in 2005 the Ford Fusion as a rebadged Ford Mondeo. In my head, a Ford Fusion is a sleek comfortable sedan with all-wheel drive, but for you, it's a budget hatchback.
In 05 the Fusion for the North American market was based on a Mazda 6 (CD3), in 2013 is when the Fusion started to share the platform with the Mondeo. Otherwise the only other Mondeo we got in the North American markets were the Contour/Cougar and their varieties.
@@OhPhuckYou thank you for the reminder! I forgot that Mazda and ford shared platform for their compact and and mid-size cars as well as some SUV. Or the famous Mazda B-Series/ Ford Ranger twins.
My Grandad had a 2004 EO04JWZ Fusion 3 1.6i 16v about 144k miles when he got rid thx for a good memory 👍 99bhp 1.6 quite rare in Britain now days to find a fusion in red (pre facelift) underestimated
That's because we had a Ford Mondeo (european market name for the Fusion). This one is clearly based in the Fiesta "Rocam" we had for more than 10 years in our market.
La fusion rassemble les nombreuses qualités d'une Ford Fiesta, avec plus de place. Cette voiture n'a pas connu un gros succès en France, et je trouve cela dommage. Je remarque cependant que les propriétaires de Ford Fusion que je connais sont très satisfaits de leur voiture, depuis de nombreuses années. Pour ma part, je trouve que Ford est une marque remarquable.
What’s the best car you’ve ever driven? The one you liked the most? And the one you absolutely didn’t like and wouldn’t drive again? I’m so curious to hear your response 😊
To confused viewers (which i was once too lol) the "Ford Fusion" you see here is actually the European Ford Fiesta that had a slightly longer wheelbase and extra rear windows in order for Ford to market it as a mini-mpv,and interestingly enough has nothing to do with the American Ford Fusion which is a mid size sedan/saloon car that has no connection between each others (sort it out with your naming convention Ford) 🤣.
Nope, Fusion was a separate model in Europe, however its very close to the Fiesta. Fiesta (the small 3 or 5 door B segment hatch version) was also sold in Europe. In my country this Fusion was never popular.

That car was a way ahead of its time. Just look at it; it is a small SUV! Those are becoming the most popoular type of a car in Europe just now
especially in the netherlands, i see those all over the streets!

I'm 27 and I'm going to learn to drive on a Ford Fusion I can't wait!
This car is the Ecosport and Fiesta's junction in almost every aspect.
Good job and have a great week
I like this Fusión.Practic and economic...good video Joe!!!
Love that indercater sound for some reason

Here in Denmark there is almost no 1.4 because the 1.6 was only 1300 euro more.

You see the 1.4i 16v is the most popular in Britain (I think)

Such a great car
Первая машина. Очень доволен :)
Wow Nice vidéo and drive
The original EcoSport!
Lets be serious joe Black is giving driving lessons for schumacher
It takes a long time, but here we are
This is what the Fusion was before they sold it to the USA as a sedan which in Europe the US Spec Fusion is currently sold as a Mondeo
quite good cars with stronger gasoline engine and tdci . It's better to buy it after facelifting, when the overall quality of this model was improved.
Which engine is best

I'm from Brazil and I didn't know that ford fusion had an entry-level version with a weak engine😅😅
The whole car is entry level with any engine
That's because we had a Ford Mondeo (european market name for the Fusion). This one is clearly based in the Fiesta "Rocam" we had for more than 10 years in our market.
It even came with the 1.25 engine and 75 hp as well ;)

This car was very popular in Russia in 2000s. Sadly it didn't have a good successor.
Bmax was a great car, Russians just couldn't afford them

Pass.
For the first time a south american car is better... our fusion is a medium familiar sedan. This is a strange fiesta
One of the ugliest interiors of all times along with the Fiesta of this era.
