so you are upset because there is no way to show people that your fusion cost more than theirs? put a big sticker on the side that says "MY FUSION COST MORE THAN YOUR FUSION" LOL
The funny thing is I have a 14 se with a Platinum package the only difference is I don't have a sunroof and it only cost me $16,500 ijs he got robbed lol
i bought an SE, ordered with the chrome package and the titanium trim level wheels. I was the guy he hates lol. Half price, looks the exact same. (till you open my door lol)

Aside from a few extra gadgets the SE Luxury package is the way to go IMO. If not just for the Hybrids French Stiched leather. The SE Luxury package adds all the exterior appointments too!
I love my 2010 Ford Fusion. I also avoid whistles and bells because at the end of the day most are not necessary for the functioning of the csr. In summary, at the end of the day, it's... the end of the day.
I agree. As gas prices go higher and higher I think the crossover craze is going to end. People will want another sedan with good MPG. Ford isnt even going to make a Focus for god sake!! I bought a 2012 Focus for my daughter and that thing would get 40mpg. Try that in a crossover!! So yea I think its a big mistake to stop all sedan production. It wont be long until people want them back
I disagree if they bring back the fusion it'll be because of public demand and not over gas prices.The SUV that Ford makes Eco,Escape,Edge,Explorer,Expedition all come with 4cyl eco boast engines and 6cyl EcoBoost and the gas milage are quite comparable to the sedans some actually over lap,like Escape and Fusions are almost identical ,the lower end Escapes have better mileage then a platinum and sport fusion.I own a Fusion Sport and it is by far the best car I've ever owned ,so much fun to drive,Metalic Grey,Dark tinted out windows,I blacked out all the chrome including the grille and removed all the Ford badging and I get asked all the time what is that car your drive,I've even had people take pictures of my car and that's never happened with previous vehicles including previous fusions.Im thinking they are making a mistake but how can I argue with the quite frankly pioneers at least in the technology part of the auto industry,they have technology in their vehicles 4-5 yrs before anyone else.

I love my 2014 fusion SE AWD. So many options like blind spot monitor, lane keep assist / aid, cross path detection, auto wipers / high beams. It's got the 18 inch rims and I'm only on my 2nd set of tires and it's got 86000 kms on it. It is AWD and the tires wear pretty even. Just love our Fusion. Last week I hit a goose in mid flight (Doing 60 km/h) and the dam bird took out my windshield. Glad it hit the passenger side since no one was sitting there.
To everyone freaking about the Fusion being discontinued, Ford will still make parts for the model for years to come. FYI, I bought a 2018 Fusion last month. 2nd Fusion I’ve owned. At the end of the day, it’s about the quality of the vehicle.

I recently got a 2016 Ford Fusion SE myself and I’ll be 100% honest I didn’t think much of it when I first looked at it and test drove it but after deciding to give the car a shot Ive grown to love this car alot and have had mine for goin on 2 months I love the all black interior the seats are comfy it drives smoothly and has been pretty reliable in the two months I’ve owned it and I’m coming from a 03 Hyundai Elantra gls that I owned for 7 yrs
At the end of the day I kind of ended up thinking, that size of the rims and tires problem has nothing to do with ford fusion. The biggest issue of my fusion is the clumsy and not smooth operation of the gear shifting. Other than that, at the end of the day, its a great car for the money.
I have a 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid SE, totally in love with the car, and I was very upset too when Ford announced their exit for the 4 door sedans. I’m dreading the day when I eventually will have to replace the Fusion. Until then, nothing but love. I went with a hybrid since fuel mileage and range are important to me. I drive allot, and can go over 600 miles on a tank of gas. Nothing but love for the car.
We have a 2014 SE Hybrid and we've had a lot of luck with the car. The only negative is the lack of a passenger seat control to raise it. It's at the floor and that's where it stays. It's held it's value and with good care looks like the day we bought it.
Nero Pytherios, one more thing...lol despite the other problems, I love the car. My family is a Ford family, my parents have an Escape, and that little thing can get shit done in bad weather.
Idk why the hell anyone would pay $1,000-$1,200 every 30,000 miles to put new tires on a mid-grade, American made sedan. If those name brand tires are only lasting 30,000 miles, you either do not know how to drive, or you have severe alignment issues. Any good, name brand tire should be warrantied to at least 50,000-70,000 miles, and probably last way longer than that. My wife has a 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium that had the original Goodyear Eagle RS-A 235/45R18 94 V Tire s, and they lasted 115,000 miles until we replaced them, with the same tires, and it cost about $500 for all four, with mounting, balancing, aligning, and free rotations for the life of the tires. Whoever you are going to for tires is loving making a killing off of you.
Go for it! I love the way my 2019Fusion looks very stylish and perfect size for a car. Has a lot of safety features that my 2016 Mercedes Benz C300 owned prior wish it had, I.e lane departure warning, back up sensors, pre Collision warning, and much more, like Apple car play, remote start.
I don't own a Fusion but I just checked on Discount Tires website and for those tires he bought came out to be $1,044.29. I also checked with different tire companies in my area (Goodyear, Firestone, Tires Plus, etc) and their around the same price. He could have paid less if he went with a different brand and different quality. He didn't get ripped off, for Michelin, you're going to pay more. You also pay more for 19" tires compared to a car that has oem size of 16 or 17".
@@kevindaniel1076 I just replaced the 18s on my fusion for $650. They are rated for 60,000 miles, but I probably won't get that much out of them. The 19s really drive up the price.
I worked at a Ford Lincoln Mercury dealer for 3 years.......was a "Ford" young man..... I noticed how Ford product wear out and get sloppy so got a job at a GM dealer to check those out. I worked at a Cadillac Oldsmobile GMC dealer for 4 years....... my love of a 1996 Cadillac STS was instant and while working there found the sloppy was not an issue like Fords. GMs traction control and anti lock brakes systems were so much better than Fords at that time. Still kept my love for GM. Now a decade later my wife buys this 2014 Ford Fusion 1.5L SE loaded...... I was not happy lol. Good looking car no doubt there...I love its looks. Then I drove it. WOW !!!!! Ford caught up to the GM Cadillac STS performance (traction control and anti lock brakes system) and a 1.5L was even more impressive but not a Northstar of course lol. Have had some troubles with the car with over 100k miles on it. Luckily I was a tech for a few years. All in all I am still impressed with the car and told my wife to keep it as she got frustrated last time we had troubles with it. For a Ford it is an awesome piece of engineering. Hate the interior fuse block location, the screen and buttons for heater/air, tires are wearing out kinda quick but we have the 17" standard wheels. Hate the "My Key" function as we bought it used and only have one key and it is set up for a teenager driving settings lol It would cost us a few hundred dollars to get another key and reprogram it all so not happening. So I can only do 80mph and the stereo only goes up to half its loudness. Even with those things I love the car. Still rather have a Cadillac though but that car is in a higher group of cars than the Fusion from the get go...but the Ford is close. Thanks for the video.
I bought a 2018 Dealer Demo Fusion with 711 miles on it in 2018. It is a sport version SE Ecoboost, and I absolutely LOVE it!! It is loaded, with all the extras including expensive black wheels (18" tires.) It is the smoothest, quietest ride I've ever owned, but I got a ticket soon after buying it, because it gets up to 80+ very quickly. It is Ruby Red, which changes from dark red in the shade to metallic red in the sun, with 3 coats of clear coat. A fabulous car that I was lucky to find on the net, 1,000 miles from my home.
Owned a base hybrid 2014 for 5 years and yes it was bullet proof. Never had an issue. I replaced it with a 2019 Fusion SEL Hybrid (in 2020) just because I got such a great deal (half of new cost) with a high trade in value and low price on a rental car with 35k miles. I will probably never get such a good deal again. Love these cars as reliable transportation that get great gas mileage and has very good performance, well pretty good anyway. I will probably replace it in 2025. It will be interesting to see with what... Thanks for doing these videos!
I had a 2011 fusion sel for 9 years loved it. Great mileage...40mpg. Handled well. Comfortable..no tire issues. upgraded to 2019 fusion titanium . Love it! I just wish it got as good mpg. Its only averaging 27mpg on highwY
I have a 2020 Ford Fusion Titanium Eco Boost, for about almost 3 years now, and I still personally never had to replaced any of my tires at all, it all depends how much you drive and how much care you take within your cars, don't drive stupid, your car won't react to stupid, overall, with that being said, I personally never had no problems with my Fusion at all, still drive it day by day and no issues, can't really give it a bad rep at all.
I drive a 2014 Titanium that I bought CPO with 23k miles in 2015. It now has 166k miles on it. First non-European car I've owned. No major issues, drives like new. Quiet, comfortable, fantastic HVAC--the A/C will freeze your bones on the hottest day, well designed remote starter with automatic sensors for ambient temp--a terrific feature. Having worked in pro audio for most of my life, I can honestly say the Sony sound system in this car is the best automotive system I've heard. Punchy low end with none of that Bose sloppy hyped bass. No need to mess with the equalizer, it sounds fantastic set at flat. Good on gas, fun to drive, the paint looks like it just came off the showroom. I could afford a new car, but I don't want to part with this one.
The only thing about the 2020 Fusion that we’re not crazy about is the new gear shift that Ford came out with. Instead of a stick to shift the gears of the automatic transmission, it’s a rotary dial, so in order to shift gears you need to turn the dial. It’s been a really difficult thing to get used to and truthfully we’re still not used to it. But that’s the only negative about the car overall.
I rented a 2019 Fusion Titanium FWD this September. Did 2500mls with it on all sorts of road and track. Here's what I think coming from a European perspective: What I liked: +suspensions (they're amazing, confortable & dynamic, and I really pushed them both on and off road) +engine (loads of torque, quiet, smooth, 30+ mpg, nice stop&start system, turbo-lag is small and it's not sensitive to altitude, I ran 91-93 fuel) +look (especially for a model that's getting older, it looks great) +interior space +equipment level (autopilot is nice) +air con (I never had to touch the temperature and I never felt any discomfort from the vent blowing at my face like on many cars, tested it from freezing to really hot) +quiet and easy to drive at a high cruise speed even on bad roads (my driving style is smooth but fast and the car was great for it) What I didn't like: -the 19" wheel and Conti tires while the suspension take care of the larger bump, you feel all the small ones way too much, grip and feeling is inadequate, but I'm used to summer tires so that's maybe normal on All Seasons) -no front parking assist -the seat didn't support me very well I had back pain (that's really a bummer, and I tried a lot of different setting during those 2500mls) -the headlights (I had the full LED and they're just like most american headlights, pretty rubbish) Overall I liked the car. And driving a car for 2500mls, you get to know it well. I drove in city, on highway, in traffic, on open roads, on dirt roads, on sand roads blasting through the desert... The car did great and I always looked back while walking away after parking it :) PS: i almost forgot: sedans drives and rides so much better than Crossover/SUV's !
My 08 fusion is a rock star. At 175,000 miles I’ve replace the thermostat, thermostat regulator and a strut mount (damn MN potholes) That’s it!!! Everything else has only been regular maintenance. Best car I’ve ever owned, hell it still gets 29 MPG.
At the beginning of a Sunday, I watched this video and at the end of the day on a Thursday I bought the new Fusion Hybrid SEL and that been said I'm in love with it.
I gotta 14 FFH and it’s awesome; gets pretty good mpg, goes faster than a prius, and it’s just fun to be stealthy in EV mode... However I did notice the tires went bad pretty quick, now I use Pirelli P4 All Season Plus (consumer reports said these tires lasted over 100,000+ miles on their test vehicle). Also inflating your tires to max pressure (or a little below it) will help decrease the rolling resistance and should help squeeze more miles out of the tires, but the trade off is comfort... Also the lug nuts and oil drain plug are not very high quality and I had to replace them with durable ones.
I have an 08 SE and she's been a great car for 145,000 miles...I will be purchasing a newer replacement, I always buy pre owned because of the massive depreciation all new vehicles suffer from...
At the end of the day, I used to always hate fords until I had to drive the fusion at work. I then bought one, I love it cheap but nice , can’t believe I’m a ford fan now
I have to say the thing I hated the most was the windshield wipers and the trunk as well. Not so much about the front, but the trunk I do. Love my car and happy with it. All that matters to me.
With that said, at the end of the day my 2016 Titanium comes with actual buttons for the climate controls below the MFT screen so the 15's are the last of the non-button HVAC panel. Put it in S mode for more control over the transmission. There's a book in the glove box called the owners manual. I suggest to read it to find out all the features of your car and how they work. And why do people block out their license plates. At the end of the day it public knowledge and anyone can get it while your driving. BTW - the hood is made of aluminum with that said at the end of the day it is flimsy.
The trunk lid feels cheaper than that of most others because from the bottom of the taillights down and behind the licenses plate is plastic so if you get rear ended they don’t have to replace the whole truck lid. They only have to replace the plastic part that got damaged. It may seem a little cheaper but when you get rear ended it will save some money over other brands. I love my Fusion and I’m happy that a brand like that is willing to try to help with cost.
Your wrong about tires. I have the titanium and I have no problems with going through tires. Clearly your driving more rough. I love the touchless buttons.. the truck lid is light and good. The hood is fine unless you want a 100lbs hood.. if you put it in S for sport you have full control it wont shift for you.. if you leave it in D drive mode it'll switch automatically
When checking out my 2015 Titanium from Budget, checked out new models from dealerships, and found base price of about $30,000! When getting it financed as a used car, was only worth $22,000! And only had 18,000 miles! But still love my Fusion!
I hate that I don't have the opportunity to make friends in the waiting room of the service department anymore... because, my Fusion Hybrid doesn't spend much time there. Just normal fluid changes and tire rotations.
I have the exact same color and trim level Fusion as you bro! I love it! It’s definitely the best car I’ve owned so far. It’s been super reliable and enjoyable to drive. I’m sad that Ford decided to discontinue their sedans. They finally got a really good competitive midsize sedan. Well, if it comes to it, the Ford Edge would be a nice step up since it’s based on the same architecture as the Fusion
The Fusion likes touring tires like the Michelin Defender and Cooper Grand Touring tires. They last a lot longer than the sportier tires. In my opinion they seem to grip the road just as well too. Ive only had 3 sets in 200k miles. The factory tires, Michelin Defenders, and now the Cooper GT tires. So far I like the Coopers a lot better than the Michelins.
The one thing I hate about my 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid SE is the fact that I have to remove the bumper to replace the headlights... I decided to replace the stock halogen bulbs with brighter LEDs and it made a world of difference, but I didn't realize all the crazy work that I had to do just to get to the bulbs. Thank goodness it's not something you have to do very often. Other than that, I love my Fusion and plan to get a used one when this one gets longer in the tooth. The mileage is great, and the vehicle has all the bells and whistles that I need. Couldn't ask for a better vehicle.
I own a 13 Fusion Hybrid and LOVE this car. Totally reliable has never broken everything is original including tires which I monitor pressure and rotate religiously. 41/42 mpg. Comfortable,quiet AND just look at the styling👍👍. Having said that,there are some short fallings ie lack of trunk space,trunk latch hits me in the head constantly-guess I’m just not smart enough to avoid it when loading the trunk🥴. I own all Fords(3)and they are great cars and trucks. Just too bad they are not going to make cars any longer. I would purchase another Ford when the time comes.
lol 😂 at the end of the day I really liked your video... one thing I “hate” about my Fusion is the emergency brake position and how my dog set it off while in a car wash!! Great channel!! 😄
I have a 2010 Fusion Hybrid. Bought it in April 2009. Still have it. NO complaints. I don’t understand the deal about the tires, never was an issue. He seems to want everything with no compromise. Can’t comment on the control touch pads. Mine have actual buttons which looks like Ford actually did the old “let’s put higher tech in (maybe saving $$$) even if the tech experience is shittier than the older reliable tech.” You can do research before you chose your vehicle, that’s on you, me bucko! Must’ve changed the hood design as well, not flimsy on mine, same goes for the trunk.
I've got a 13 se and I agree the trunk feels light and weak. I love the naturally aspirated 2.5 getting 32+ mpg combined easily. But the hood doesn't bounce or wiggle on the highway. My mother's 17 rav4 hoob moves like the bolts we're taken out. I do love the car. Fusion has taken my heart a bit.
And here it is, 01-18-2020 and the 2020 model Fusion is available for purchase. Ford ditching my SYNC last year is my main complaint about my Fusion. 2016 Hybrid S, 23,000 miles

Nero Pytherios , I forgot to mention the 3 recalls I've gotten on the car.....
Nero Pytherios, one more thing...lol despite the other problems, I love the car. My family is a Ford family, my parents have an Escape, and that little thing can get shit done in bad weather.
Nero Pytherios I commented on your comment instead of my own comment. Sorry. 😀
Nero Pytherios,
Have you test driven an Edge or Escape?
At the end of the day. I own a Ford Fusion. 😂
Idk why the hell anyone would pay $1,000-$1,200 every 30,000 miles to put new tires on a mid-grade, American made sedan. If those name brand tires are only lasting 30,000 miles, you either do not know how to drive, or you have severe alignment issues. Any good, name brand tire should be warrantied to at least 50,000-70,000 miles, and probably last way longer than that. My wife has a 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium that had the original Goodyear Eagle RS-A 235/45R18 94 V Tire
s, and they lasted 115,000 miles until we replaced them, with the same tires, and it cost about $500 for all four, with mounting, balancing, aligning, and free rotations for the life of the tires. Whoever you are going to for tires is loving making a killing off of you.
I'm 21 yet I want a Fusion as my first car. It looks so clean.
Do it. Love my fusion. A few minor issues, but at the end of the day, it’s a great car.
You should get it. I've had my 2017 titanium for awhile and I love it. Runs great, smoothly, and haven't had any issues with it thus far 💯🙌🏾
I love mine
Go for it! I love the way my 2019Fusion looks very stylish and perfect size for a car. Has a lot of safety features that my 2016 Mercedes Benz C300 owned prior wish it had, I.e lane departure warning, back up sensors, pre Collision warning, and much more, like Apple car play, remote start.
I’m scared to get one because someone said maintenance is so much
I love my Hybrid version. In my latest trip, only 83 miles, I did 51 miles EV mode. Next to no gas used, on that trip.
You did 51 of the 83 on EV mode. That is great!
I love my 2016 Fusion SE! I don’t understand why Ford discontinued this Sedan because it’s one of the most popular models on the road !
$1,200 for a set of tires on a family midsize sedan?😂 Dude you got ripped off. If this was a performance car, that would make sense
I paid way less than that for OEM Michelin tires for my Town Car.
I don't own a Fusion but I just checked on Discount Tires website and for those tires he bought came out to be $1,044.29. I also checked with different tire companies in my area (Goodyear, Firestone, Tires Plus, etc) and their around the same price. He could have paid less if he went with a different brand and different quality. He didn't get ripped off, for Michelin, you're going to pay more. You also pay more for 19" tires compared to a car that has oem size of 16 or 17".
@@kevindaniel1076 I just replaced the 18s on my fusion for $650. They are rated for 60,000 miles, but I probably won't get that much out of them. The 19s really drive up the price.
@@mathewstufflebean9895 what brand of tire and model did you buy?
@@kevindaniel1076 Falken Pro G4. The $650 price was with a small discount.
I worked at a Ford Lincoln Mercury dealer for 3 years.......was a "Ford" young man..... I noticed how Ford product wear out and get sloppy so got a job at a GM dealer to check those out. I worked at a Cadillac Oldsmobile GMC dealer for 4 years....... my love of a 1996 Cadillac STS was instant and while working there found the sloppy was not an issue like Fords. GMs traction control and anti lock brakes systems were so much better than Fords at that time. Still kept my love for GM.
Now a decade later my wife buys this 2014 Ford Fusion 1.5L SE loaded...... I was not happy lol. Good looking car no doubt there...I love its looks. Then I drove it. WOW !!!!! Ford caught up to the GM Cadillac STS performance (traction control and anti lock brakes system) and a 1.5L was even more impressive but not a Northstar of course lol. Have had some troubles with the car with over 100k miles on it. Luckily I was a tech for a few years. All in all I am still impressed with the car and told my wife to keep it as she got frustrated last time we had troubles with it. For a Ford it is an awesome piece of engineering. Hate the interior fuse block location, the screen and buttons for heater/air, tires are wearing out kinda quick but we have the 17" standard wheels. Hate the "My Key" function as we bought it used and only have one key and it is set up for a teenager driving settings lol It would cost us a few hundred dollars to get another key and reprogram it all so not happening. So I can only do 80mph and the stereo only goes up to half its loudness. Even with those things I love the car. Still rather have a Cadillac though but that car is in a higher group of cars than the Fusion from the get go...but the Ford is close.
Thanks for the video.
I liked the video, but I laughed so hard at the “At the end of the day” comments. I agree that GM and Ford will regret leaving the sedan market.
I skipped around and almost every time I stopped I heard that phrase.
I bought a 2018 Dealer Demo Fusion with 711 miles on it in 2018. It is a sport version SE Ecoboost, and I absolutely LOVE it!! It is loaded, with all the extras including expensive black wheels (18" tires.) It is the smoothest, quietest ride I've ever owned, but I got a ticket soon after buying it, because it gets up to 80+ very quickly. It is Ruby Red, which changes from dark red in the shade to metallic red in the sun, with 3 coats of clear coat. A fabulous car that I was lucky to find on the net, 1,000 miles from my home.
Love my 2016 Titanium. You can tell the difference between the models by they type of exhaust they have.
These comments have me hysterical!! 🤣
Especially when tired from work at the end of the day.
I'm belly laughing.....
Low profile (thin tires) look cool & all that but, they got serious drawbacks. Stay away unless you have no other option.
I agree 100%. The smaller wheel hubs get higher sidewalls and that is much better for a smoother ride.
Owned a base hybrid 2014 for 5 years and yes it was bullet proof. Never had an issue. I replaced it with a 2019 Fusion SEL Hybrid (in 2020) just because I got such a great deal (half of new cost) with a high trade in value and low price on a rental car with 35k miles. I will probably never get such a good deal again. Love these cars as reliable transportation that get great gas mileage and has very good performance, well pretty good anyway. I will probably replace it in 2025. It will be interesting to see with what... Thanks for doing these videos!
Agree with you. I also love my car, the quality of construction and noise suppression in the cabin makes this a car which punches above it's price.
2 years later, at the end of the day...I still love my 2017 titanium 😊💯🙌🏾
Rename this video to "at the end of the day..."
What, no mention of the slow ass SYNC system? One of my biggest pet peeves!
At the end of the day this was my biggest problem.
Just bought a 2020 Ford fusion! I love it. Watching videos on the car and came across urs. Nicely done. At least ur honest about it! Thanks hun!👍😁
I had a 2011 fusion sel for 9 years loved it. Great mileage...40mpg. Handled well. Comfortable..no tire issues. upgraded to 2019 fusion titanium . Love it! I just wish it got as good mpg. Its only averaging 27mpg on highwY
Don't need to say end of the day so often, otherwise good video
Theodore Rinehart I agree..
Theodore Rinehart he only said it 15 times 😂😂😂 #Sarcasm
At the end of the day, that was the main negative...
I have a 2020 Ford Fusion Titanium Eco Boost, for about almost 3 years now, and I still personally never had to replaced any of my tires at all, it all depends how much you drive and how much care you take within your cars, don't drive stupid, your car won't react to stupid, overall, with that being said, I personally never had no problems with my Fusion at all, still drive it day by day and no issues, can't really give it a bad rep at all.
At the end of the day hopefully you'll get to your point
I drive a 2014 Titanium that I bought CPO with 23k miles in 2015. It now has 166k miles on it. First non-European car I've owned. No major issues, drives like new. Quiet, comfortable, fantastic HVAC--the A/C will freeze your bones on the hottest day, well designed remote starter with automatic sensors for ambient temp--a terrific feature. Having worked in pro audio for most of my life, I can honestly say the Sony sound system in this car is the best automotive system I've heard. Punchy low end with none of that Bose sloppy hyped bass. No need to mess with the equalizer, it sounds fantastic set at flat. Good on gas, fun to drive, the paint looks like it just came off the showroom. I could afford a new car, but I don't want to part with this one.
My company car is a 2016 Fusion and I love it. 93,000 trouble free miles.
Mel Rose how is it now ? I’m looking into one
The only thing about the 2020 Fusion that we’re not crazy about is the new gear shift that Ford came out with. Instead of a stick to shift the gears of the automatic transmission, it’s a rotary dial, so in order to shift gears you need to turn the dial. It’s been a really difficult thing to get used to and truthfully we’re still not used to it. But that’s the only negative about the car overall.
2019 and 2020 ford fusion (non hybrid non sport) have major transmission flex plate failure problem
I rented a 2019 Fusion Titanium FWD this September. Did 2500mls with it on all sorts of road and track. Here's what I think coming from a European perspective:
What I liked:
+suspensions (they're amazing, confortable & dynamic, and I really pushed them both on and off road)
+engine (loads of torque, quiet, smooth, 30+ mpg, nice stop&start system, turbo-lag is small and it's not sensitive to altitude, I ran 91-93 fuel)
+look (especially for a model that's getting older, it looks great)
+interior space
+equipment level (autopilot is nice)
+air con (I never had to touch the temperature and I never felt any discomfort from the vent blowing at my face like on many cars, tested it from freezing to really hot)
+quiet and easy to drive at a high cruise speed even on bad roads (my driving style is smooth but fast and the car was great for it)
What I didn't like:
-the 19" wheel and Conti tires while the suspension take care of the larger bump, you feel all the small ones way too much, grip and feeling is inadequate, but I'm used to summer tires so that's maybe normal on All Seasons)
-no front parking assist
-the seat didn't support me very well I had back pain (that's really a bummer, and I tried a lot of different setting during those 2500mls)
-the headlights (I had the full LED and they're just like most american headlights, pretty rubbish)
Overall I liked the car. And driving a car for 2500mls, you get to know it well.
I drove in city, on highway, in traffic, on open roads, on dirt roads, on sand roads blasting through the desert... The car did great and I always looked back while walking away after parking it :)
PS: i almost forgot: sedans drives and rides so much better than Crossover/SUV's !
My 08 fusion is a rock star. At 175,000 miles I’ve replace the thermostat, thermostat regulator and a strut mount (damn MN potholes) That’s it!!! Everything else has only been regular maintenance. Best car I’ve ever owned, hell it still gets 29 MPG.
Thankfully they are bringing us the Mondeo Wagon from Europe, so we will have a Fusion wagon, just not a sedan anymore.
I just bought a 2014 Ford Fusion S with 6.5k miles for 15k!! I am pretty happy about the deal, it is like buying a brand new car haha.
At the beginning of a Sunday, I watched this video and at the end of the day on a Thursday I bought the new Fusion Hybrid SEL and that been said I'm in love with it.
Best car i ever driven. The SE hybrid. 55mph and just the perfect machine!.
I agree 100% I have a 2014 Hybrid Se and I get up to 54 MPG.
At the end of the day.... I am glad you only hate 5 things about your car
I LOVE my 2013 FORD FUSION!!
I gotta 14 FFH and it’s awesome; gets pretty good mpg, goes faster than a prius, and it’s just fun to be stealthy in EV mode... However I did notice the tires went bad pretty quick, now I use Pirelli P4 All Season Plus (consumer reports said these tires lasted over 100,000+ miles on their test vehicle). Also inflating your tires to max pressure (or a little below it) will help decrease the rolling resistance and should help squeeze more miles out of the tires, but the trade off is comfort... Also the lug nuts and oil drain plug are not very high quality and I had to replace them with durable ones.
Did you just filling your tire pressure to max will help roll resistance? Bro you trying to get ppl killed wtf
I have an 08 SE and she's been a great car for 145,000 miles...I will be purchasing a newer replacement, I always buy pre owned because of the massive depreciation all new vehicles suffer from...
The tires killed me too. I thought it was just me. I had a 2013 ford fusion se. At the end of the day I had to get rid of it.
At the end of the day, I used to always hate fords until I had to drive the fusion at work. I then bought one, I love it cheap but nice , can’t believe I’m a ford fan now
I just got my 2020 Fusion Sport trim. I love it. Feels like a super expensive car.
There is no 2020 Fusion Sport...last year 2019
Same here 2018 I love it so far !
@@brianhampton9392 there's a 2020 fusion sport
did u got your fusion at end of the day ?
I don't like how these type of videos get dislikes. It's GOOD that we hear critiques.
I love my Ford Fusion the best vehicle I have ever owned. I am so upset that they are going to stop making the sedans I bought be another one.
Love my 2018 Hybrid SE. I have had zero, I repeat, zero issues. Greatest car I Ever Owned. Just passed 100k mikes too.
I have to say the thing I hated the most was the windshield wipers and the trunk as well. Not so much about the front, but the trunk I do. Love my car and happy with it. All that matters to me.
Hi there! I know you posted this a LONG time ago but im considering a Fusion too. How has yours treated you and held up?
Well I just got mine two days ago. It’s just a 2012 se.20,000 miles for 2,000$. Best car I’ve ever owned. Thanks grandma
With that said, at the end of the day my 2016 Titanium comes with actual buttons for the climate controls below the MFT screen so the 15's are the last of the non-button HVAC panel. Put it in S mode for more control over the transmission. There's a book in the glove box called the owners manual. I suggest to read it to find out all the features of your car and how they work. And why do people block out their license plates. At the end of the day it public knowledge and anyone can get it while your driving. BTW - the hood is made of aluminum with that said at the end of the day it is flimsy.
The trunk lid feels cheaper than that of most others because from the bottom of the taillights down and behind the licenses plate is plastic so if you get rear ended they don’t have to replace the whole truck lid. They only have to replace the plastic part that got damaged. It may seem a little cheaper but when you get rear ended it will save some money over other brands. I love my Fusion and I’m happy that a brand like that is willing to try to help with cost.
Love my 2008 Fusion SEL AWD. Fully loaded. Sure I could use some newer features but damn it's so clean. 99k
I have one - base model - and I must say that I really love it!
At the end of the day one afternoon in August of 2020, I bought a 2018 Ford Fusion Titanium AWD. At the end of the day, I really like it.
Your wrong about tires. I have the titanium and I have no problems with going through tires. Clearly your driving more rough. I love the touchless buttons.. the truck lid is light and good. The hood is fine unless you want a 100lbs hood.. if you put it in S for sport you have full control it wont shift for you.. if you leave it in D drive mode it'll switch automatically
RideWithKawi I think that the Microsoft Sync is the worst part of the car.
@@TheBestDaniels and sync is actually considered the best infotainment system among the major brands. Even Toyota is far behind.
@@TheBestDaniels I own a 16 se and it's got the previous gen of sync and even that is ahead of most hondas and other companies I've seen
Uhhh I have a 2019 se and sport mode does shift for until you push the paddle shifters
At the end of the day, it's a good looking car... for a Ford😁
I have a 2014 se and I drive it like a Mercedes, best car I’ve ever owned
Do u still own it? is it a reliable car?
When checking out my 2015 Titanium from Budget, checked out new models from dealerships, and found base price of about $30,000! When getting it financed as a used car, was only worth $22,000! And only had 18,000 miles! But still love my Fusion!
I agree on the key things you pointed out I recently purchased a 2014 titanium other than those things great car so far !!!!
That’s awesome! I really love mine.
I hate that I don't have the opportunity to make friends in the waiting room of the service department anymore... because, my Fusion Hybrid doesn't spend much time there. Just normal fluid changes and tire rotations.
I have the exact same color and trim level Fusion as you bro! I love it! It’s definitely the best car I’ve owned so far. It’s been super reliable and enjoyable to drive. I’m sad that Ford decided to discontinue their sedans. They finally got a really good competitive midsize sedan. Well, if it comes to it, the Ford Edge would be a nice step up since it’s based on the same architecture as the Fusion
Mike when I trade up my Fusion ( not a problem a FLEX is a great replacement ) which I will miss but there is choices still
At the end of the day...A beautifully styled car inside and out that drinks up gas like an absolute LUSH!!!
I have 2015 se and getting 30mpg....... so yeah gas lush....
Go with the hybrid
The Fusion likes touring tires like the Michelin Defender and Cooper Grand Touring tires. They last a lot longer than the sportier tires. In my opinion they seem to grip the road just as well too. Ive only had 3 sets in 200k miles. The factory tires, Michelin Defenders, and now the Cooper GT tires. So far I like the Coopers a lot better than the Michelins.
I got a notification about collision sensor is block . I have a 2019 Ford fusion do you know what's the problem maybe
I am watching at 5am. With that said, it is NOT the end of the day.
At the end of the day I’m sitting here watching this video.
The one thing I hate about my 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid SE is the fact that I have to remove the bumper to replace the headlights... I decided to replace the stock halogen bulbs with brighter LEDs and it made a world of difference, but I didn't realize all the crazy work that I had to do just to get to the bulbs. Thank goodness it's not something you have to do very often. Other than that, I love my Fusion and plan to get a used one when this one gets longer in the tooth. The mileage is great, and the vehicle has all the bells and whistles that I need. Couldn't ask for a better vehicle.
Luckily for me I have tiny hands so I manged to get my hands in there to replace the lights.
Try lifting off the accelerator when you shift. Just like you would when driving a manual transmission car.
I own a 13 Fusion Hybrid and LOVE this car. Totally reliable has never broken everything is original including tires which I monitor pressure and rotate religiously. 41/42 mpg. Comfortable,quiet AND just look at the styling👍👍. Having said that,there are some short fallings ie lack of trunk space,trunk latch hits me in the head constantly-guess I’m just not smart enough to avoid it when loading the trunk🥴. I own all Fords(3)and they are great cars and trucks. Just too bad they are not going to make cars any longer. I would purchase another Ford when the time comes.
lol 😂 at the end of the day I really liked your video... one thing I “hate” about my Fusion is the emergency brake position and how my dog set it off while in a car wash!! Great channel!! 😄
Look at that face, little handsome fella.
Sorry if she's a she
I have a 2010 Fusion Hybrid. Bought it in April 2009. Still have it. NO complaints. I don’t understand the deal about the tires, never was an issue. He seems to want everything with no compromise. Can’t comment on the control touch pads. Mine have actual buttons which looks like Ford actually did the old “let’s put higher tech in (maybe saving $$$) even if the tech experience is shittier than the older reliable tech.” You can do research before you chose your vehicle, that’s on you, me bucko! Must’ve changed the hood design as well, not flimsy on mine, same goes for the trunk.
Every time I see one I’m like:
HOLY SHIT THATS AN ASTON- oh wait that’s a Ford Fusion.
Callan Alford I mean at the end of the day ford owned Aston Martin
I have a 2013 Fusion S with 242,000 miles and still shows no signs of slowing down whatsoever. Great car!
I'm going today to buy my 2017 Ford SE Fusion 21,000 miles..
I've got a 13 se and I agree the trunk feels light and weak. I love the naturally aspirated 2.5 getting 32+ mpg combined easily. But the hood doesn't bounce or wiggle on the highway. My mother's 17 rav4 hoob moves like the bolts we're taken out. I do love the car. Fusion has taken my heart a bit.
Didn’t think I would laugh so much throughout the video with all these comments 😂
And here it is, 01-18-2020 and the 2020 model Fusion is available for purchase. Ford ditching my SYNC last year is my main complaint about my Fusion. 2016 Hybrid S, 23,000 miles
I loved my 2014 SE. I'm hoping I'll be able to find a Sport before they are gone.
My 2017 Fusion hybrid platinum is on its second set of Michelins. They WAY you drive has a huge impact on how the tires wear.

I wanted to write the comment about the most common phrase in this video, but at the end of the day, I saw that all of you already did that.
