Best car I've had in 20 years. Style, comfort, great MPG, handling, safety, and it's the sexist car on the road under 75k.
cornelius powers unfortunately the interior is not stylish
I like mine. The 2.0 turbo is fun, but the mpg is terrible by modern standards.
Hows the car done for you long term?
The sexiest car in the road under 75? R u on drugs kid?
@@themanman165 probably talking about euros lol. If not he is on some serious nose candy.
We bought one this year...what an amazing accomplishment by a car manufacturer. I suggest that you seriously consider at least taking one for a test drive, before you sign the dotted line of any other manufacturer. At least see what you really think, instead of listening to other people,whether it be negative HATER comments or even great reviews like this one.
Oh and for all the HATER comments like"..its a cheap Aston Martin"...Your just jealous that you can't even afford the cheap one :)
Give people some credit! They could also be completely satisfied Hyundai Pony owners.
I want to know how you feel about fords maintenance and steering, transmission repairs or problems.
We own one too, really good, even better than the Nissan we had.
Lol 😂 ok ford driver
After buying a car recently, I've believe KBB reviews are the best. Great work!
+Scott Ostr how much did they pay you to say that?
after comparing other models like the Hyundai Elantra and the Kai Optima, I've decided to purchase the Ford Fusion Titanium AWD. This car is way above the others, Best bang for your dollars.
Still looks stunning! It was ahead of its time back in 2013. Ten days before this video was released in February 2013 we got the brand new fusion titanium in black. The first 6 months we had the car, everyone was commenting on how good looking it was
60k Miles in 3 years on my SEL with 2.0L Turbo and Leather trim with all upgrades, still drives like a dream. Was even a rental car for a year into it's life. The handling and steering is very tight, this is what set it apart when compared with other mid-sized sedans I drove. I get 30-33mpg on the highway and with mostly city driving you can expect around 23. Very good options for 2 year old used vehicles under 20k with most options.
My sister got this car for around town driving. Nothing fancy base engine, backup camera, sync. It's pretty nice for driving around at a cool $32G. Feels more solid than the Nissan Altima my friend has or the Chevy Malibu my Aunt has.
Best Ford Fusion review on earth
KBB gradually becomes one of my favoriate channels because of this handsome host and the more enthusiastic style of reviewing. So different from reviews of several years ago
difference between lifespan and maintenance, I'll give you that. I'm a mechanical engineer and have worked in the engine block and piston manufacturing business so I know what I'm talking about. If the engine is designed from the ground up to be turbocharged, it won't have a shorter lifespan, whereas a naturally aspirated engine that is then turbocharged will. There is a reason why every single European automaker does it..
I have no issues on the gear box or transmission so far, have driven around 4000 miles so far with in city only. I love my fusion.
Yeah except it doesn't get 47mpg in the hybrid. Not even close. On my best days I get 41. Normal driving it's closer to 34-35 on average. Key is to keep it around 45-50mph. Then you'll hit 43. That rarely happens for long periods of time though, at least where I live. But don't get me wrong, I still LOVE my Fusion Hybrid. I just think the mpg rating is deceptive.
This car is just so nice intside and out even on lower trim s,se
I love my Ford Fusion Titanium 2015, comfortable, fun to drive, got the bells & whistles I want and it's a sexy looking car!
Such a good looking car!
Got a 2016 Titanium fwd a little over a year ago. Besides a 60k miles service (including transmission drain and fill), needing a purge valve and a couple recalls, thing hasn’t given me any major issues. Got it with 57k miles, now sitting at 65k
I purchased my 2015 ford fusion SE ecoboost after driving the 2012 wrx and it was so much more comfortable to drive. i test drove both and i love my fusion.. JMS boostmax next! (and exhaust)
Well yeah Fusion is a family sedan. WRX is a racer.
i meant that i like to go fast and did not enjoy the ride of the wrx, my other car is an srt4
Travis DaDrunk It true the WRX is more bumpier due to stiffer suspension or they call it sport tune suspension. I never drove a Fusion before. I remember when it redesign was first introduce, I seriously thought it was the best family sedan I ever seen (for the non luxury class) but now most of the Korean brand cars look very similar to Ford now so it doesn't stand out anymore. Also it feel less special now cause you see these cars so often.
This car is underrated. So much features
Ford owned Aston Martin from 1994 to 2007.
That explains the design
The design reminds me of an Aston Martin!
This car is known as the Ford Mondeo in Europe. It's also available as a wagon.
I eish the wagon was availible in the USA. 😭
I love my hybrid ford fusion 2015 138000 miles. This car has been very,very good to me I wouldn't trade it at this time. Ruby red
Great, solid, no nonsense review - thanks kbb
im an engineer and interned with an automotive company, i can say from first hand experience that new turbo engines are tested and proven to last 200k miles plus. like i said they run low boost and have a beefed up top end to account for the greater pressure
This car is a very nice and very good car i love the fact that all there cars and trucks have the sony sound system i am a hard core sony nerd everything i own is a sony and i love the fact that ford uses sony has there audio system
Juat got one today.
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I keep hearing good things about the 1.6 and manual transmission. Good review.
I'm looking at getting a 2016 Fusion or 2016 VW Jetta? Which one is better overall?
You can’t cross-shop or compare those because they aren’t even competing in the same market. The Jetta competes with the Focus. The Passat competes with the Fusion.
Although I am a VW driver, I’ve been finding it harder and harder to recommend our North American Spec Passats because they just aren’t as well equipped as some of the competition.
The Passat looks good, feels good, drives well, and is built well, but is rather bland for most people. I call it stark minimalism and understated sophistication, but most call it boring.
The Passats can be had for lower prices, with fairly good technology and equipment, but the Fusions feel decidedly more modern.
They arguably look better too (though that’s subjective) - they are well designed inside and out without being too gaudy, like some of the Japanese competition.
Reliability is usually good enough with both brands, especially if you are selective of engines and trims, but the Japanese will give you more peace of mind in general.
If you’re like the majority of the market, the Fusion would (most likely) be a better choice.
awesome reviews but plz dont forget interior room and rear seating reviews.
i'm not sure what you were expecting from a car that has a turbo engine, voice commands, a car that can park itself, keep itself in lane on the highway, and costs only 40k.
the interior is anything but cheap. when i was buying my ford explorer i sat in a loaded Fusion. the quality of the leather is just unmatched in other cars in its class (ie, not a luxury sedan). the LCD screen is huge. plenty of controls. etc.
want to see a spectacular interior? check out the Lincoln MKZ
Awesome review
Many owners are having problems with both the computer that controls the throttle and the transmission. There have been dozens of reports across the country of acceleration and deceleration issues.
I myself was doing 65 in the center lane of a highway when the car began to decelerate on its own. I could not get back up to speed and luckily made it over to the shoulder. I then turned the car off and waited a minute or so. I restarted the car and took side roads home.
A very heavy car with a weak transmission .
I must admit it's a nice looking car, seeing it in person does a lot, it is also quit large.
You must be a tiny guy. They're not big cars at all. They're actually from the European market so they're even smaller than what we're used to having. Skinny
I noticed some defects on this Fusion. The window trim and weather stripping around the windows and doors were poorly assembled. Even some doors looked misaligned. I was sorely dissappointed.
They don't have a lesser lifespan. Their internal components are not the same from aspirated engines. They are designed to do what they are suposed to do. You don't just take an aspirated engine and install a turbo. You can see a lot of 1.8 Turbo charged engines from VolksWagen Jetta running 500.000 miles in perfect state. Google "volkswagen 500.000 miles" and see it.
Being a LINCOLN Onwer for Decades and now Retired with a 08' MKZ , now with 64k Miles on it.. I am tossed up betwn the Fusion or the Used 15' MKZ Hybrid. Both are hard to sell by dealers out here in teh countryy of Wi. .Seen taking the ave of 3 mos to sell one..Most want V6 Power for most doing Hwy speeds and /or want SUV's or PUp Trucks..
But for us? Driving 90% City/in Town and 10% Hwy? Either is Fine for us now that Fusion has almost all the Options formally on the Lincoln and the Fusion is the Lincoln in disguise in many cases.. Removing the Ford Emblems & Adding a Lincoln Embleum on the Front Grill & Trunk really confuses people..
Can anyone tell me where is the aerial signal/frequency. I don't want to get radiated, getting brain tumor due to this radio/gps invisible antenna. I can see that it doesn't exist as it once was on the previous models such as, Mondeo Mk3. But, where is located the magnetic radio wave?
Most of cars, almost all of them, have the antenna and aerial signal at the end of them, near the trunk. Mondeo or Focus until recently considered that is "very good" for the customers to have antenna just above the front passengers. Where is the antenna signal when it comes to MK4 (facelift) and MK5? Thank you!
Vladimir Popa where is in mazda 6 and subaru legacy?
if you beleive that..vote trump and his windmills
I imagine they will do a sport model sooner or later, and I'm interested to see what it has to offer.
Is it more reliable now?
VERY....I have 65,500 on my 2013 SE with the Tech package. LOVE the car and will drive it until the wheels fall off. I have had NO issues with this car....not one.
Great Car! I have the 2012 Ford Fusion SE, No Eco with 60k miles. I put $40 for gas and it last me forever!! I going to move up to the 2014 Fusion with ECO because its with in my budget for now :(
+Saviour Del Rosario Ford Fusion 2013 still with warranty, only 10kmiles. . , 1 year having problems with gearbox and front axe. More than 45 days at the authorized repair shop, no spare car offered. No solution at all. Very dissapointed with Ford. NExt time only foreign cars in my options!
Freddy Fazbear LOL
Sergio Bedoya are you sure you didn't by a NISSAN? :)
I really like the looks and all. But I think we should bring back a few COLOR KEYED INTERIORS LIKE RED AND BLUE? Is Fusion 1.6 Eco obtaining the MPG that the stickers says it should?
they just fkin nailed the design... when they showed the competitors it made me almost lol at them
We love the Fusion!
mine is a 2009
How is it the Accord, Altima and Mazda 6 can all basically get the same hwy mpg # without unnecessarily complicated engine technology? Consumer Reports released a video saying these small turbo engines aren't really providing the MPG #s in real world economy. Surprised this video doesn't mention that the Fusion Hybrid hasn't been able to get anywhere NEAR 47 mpg in real world reviews.
Great review and I have always been a fan of Ford. But, don't like the body style of the 2013 Fusion. I Love my 2010 Fusion, everything about it is awesome!!!!!
i own a 2014 fusion se/ lux package, ruby red 2.0 t engine.. i found that the car really likes 38 psi in each tire.. handles better.. and at 67 mph in cruse i receive 37 mpg her and around flat seacramento raise it to 67 mph in cruise 32 mpg// pretty nice.. but i am thinking about a ' tune' my freinds car.. same as mine but in pearl white.. with the tune is faster.. but at 67 he gets 38 mpg..i know not much but stop watch 0 - 60 is down to 5.7 seconds mine ? 6.4 secs.
I'm gonna buy this car and slap the Aston Martin badge on it. Now that's balling.
Micah is your music on iTunes yet?
Well after watching this no wonder the mkz from Lincoln is such a good car.
Its coming to Australia, also the Ecosport and the 2014 Ford Escort and the 1.0 Ecoboost fiesta that has the potency to wipe the polo 1.2 tsi out of its throne
They don't work "harder". They work what they are designed to work. They won't last less because they are designed to support higher pressures.
You'd be Perfect for Top Gear America man. A shoe-in.
I’m going to get one just for the mpg tbh plus it looks pretty cool.
nice little review
Hold on tight to the fusion steering wheel
Best vehicle ever... quiet
my friend told me don't buy one there is problems with the clutch!
+Mario Iacolucci Coming back again after seeing your comment, Mine is in excellent and I love my car . I have "2015 Ford Fusion Titanium AWD". Dont believe rumours Mario
OK thanks
+jack32322 thanks because I'm looking to purchase one and the comments about the gearbox and transmission aren't encouraging at all. What's the truth?
+mybro727 Go ahead and buy.
whats so complicated about Fords Eco Boost vs Mazdas Sport Active??
P Htwr not sure about the Mazda, but the Ecoboost has been put though hell and back and survives everything
Nice cam work!
Yea one with the upcoming 2.3 l ecoboost producing 321 bhp@ 6000 rpm and 300-332ft pound between 2000-4500 rpm will be awesome and it must be Manual as well, if there is a v6 too its damn welcome but i think Ford is ditching its v6 because most of the competing v6s are better than Fords and i think the 2.3 l Ecoboost if miles better than Fords 3.7l v6
jandj Godwin the new Lincolns are gonna have a 3.0 ecoboost 400 horse 400 ft lbs of torque
I love ❤️ my 2015 ford fusion
no complaints? how much Ford paid?
2013 Video 2015 ford Fusion Road Test... I've so many questions
Its an awesome car!
My dream!
I fucking hate a speedometer that you have to read. I wish Ford had a digital speedometer.
you can select a digital speedometer on the left info screen.
they actually last a really long time. they all run low boost and are well over-engineered, these aren't the turbos of the 80s
This is tru, also when i test drove the car it didn't feel too special but that's because the engine needs to be broken in.
Only Choice?
Mazda 6 offers Manual, better interior
ZambonieDude It did offer a manual
Probably not, but seeing that they had a majority stake in the company, I don't think they had to ask.
That’s Long Beach .
A million miles on a Honda. I had two Hondas and took very good care of them. I thought in buying an Accord that I was getting one of the most reliable cars in the world. I went through three transmissions in 150,000 miles when I've never needed to replace a transmission in any other car that I've ever had except for one GM from the 1970s. I had problems with body hardware on that car and it deteriorated so much in five years that I traded it. Had a Civic right before. Not impressed.
should i but this car or the optima?
Im a ford fanatic but I have to admit the optima has a pretty appealing 10 year warranty. That's unheard of!
joseph sudler, sr. this one
TomCook1993 just make sure you know the catches on it trust me
PrinceDarkness ....Go on.....
Why didn't they tint the windows?
ford should make a ST version or something like that so it can go against the audi s4 and what not. All these german brands are making sportier, more hardcore versions of the their sedans, why not us?
I love the new Fusion.
This is an old man's car
2pacexpert to a point, you're right. But that is exactly why I like it. I have my " look at me" vehicle, but something like this is great for day to day driving and longer trips. It doesn't scream "pull me over" and let's you blend in to a point without being as bland as a corolla.
my favourite
Did the fusion replace the ford tempo? also the Lincoln mxz what did that car replace?
To drop this car in 2020 is a big mistake, Ford will lose vital expertise and understanding as well as customers when this could have been finally tuned into a fantastic Mark V & VI when suv fashion trend fades.
i want a cosworth version of this
so much for resale value!
I got a 2016 for only $16k. Hooray
how much?
WHY ISNT THIS IN AUSTRALIA????????????????
You are wrong. Just because Ford couldn't get it right with THIS engine doesn't mean direct injection, turbocharged engines, etc... aren't efficient. Americans likes big engines, go to europe and you will see it.
Not anymore. FoMoCo has sold Aston Martin few years ago.
nice car!
Again... every auto manufacture is going the turbo route, there are plenty of benefits. Europeans have been doing it for decades, while the American brands are just starting to catch on, and $70? you must be from California cause I put full synthetic in my car and it costs $35-40. Also the average time that an owner has the same car is 5-7 years which is a pittance compared to how long turbo/naturally aspirated engines can go, so in the end, it doesn't even really matter.
a 1.6 Ecoboost ?
Welcome america to the european way of downsizing :)
I really like the fresh design, better than the focus.
This car should come as the Ford Mondeo here in europe, but somehow Ford has production problems with it ....
It looks like the European Ford Mondeo. I guess it's the same car.
Ford Fusion 2013 still with warranty, only 10kmiles. . , 1 year having problems with gearbox and front axe. More than 45 days at the authorized repair shop, no spare car offered. No solution at all. Very dissapointed with Ford. NExt time only foreign cars in my options!
You got a defected car it's very rare but happens, my dad had this 2010 Camry and after 5 weeks it changed its mind and wanted to be a 3 cylinder. But I reliable car would be a Honda Accord, Camry, or a Malibu (great car) fusion is supposed to be very reliable
Same here, I'm with Toyota, Nissan or Honda, your best bets!
+bendsomemetal is back not irish anymore but it seems to be a pattern because many people in forums are saying they have same problems with the fusion.
+Ima smokaahh i can show you my entries to the garage, replies from Ford, ownership, what else do you need?
+bendsomemetal Ford There are so many complaints about transmission in Ford Fusion. My friend car has transmission issue. He already went twice to showroom for a fix. No luck, still no solution.
yeah its because Ford and Aston Martin in the same Group.
0-60?
ford fusion is competitive, because it is not american any more. this is next gen european mondeo, 100% european vehicle.
It;'s a "world car" designed to fit all markets inall countries, meeting all local requirements. It has American glide with European (better than most European) steering feel. It's 20% European, 20% American, 20% Asian, etc.
Must be why it don't suck
Nope the the US fusion came out 1 year before the mondeo. Completely American
that peppy Irish guy us fusion came almost 3 years earlier. This car shares engines, a lot of design and technical elements with the previous mondeo and nothing shared with the previous gen fusion.
is this car worth it and what if it has problems?
the fusion has 1 of the best steerings in the segment only Mazda and BMW have better steerings than Ford Toyota,honda etc are crap b4 its steering and even cabin insulation and solid feel, honda toyota feels like plastic after sitting in the solid Fusion, the only dissappoinment is myford touch and mpg which is low in the class
I hope it takes a lot more than a grill ??
Now the steering wheel might go off
lmao what
@@wreckless1870 its a troll
,Why not feed yourself before you record? And did it ever occur you that most probably already have an idea the car looks like? We can see the car as you are talking about it. Get to the review.
this thing looks just like an aston from the front
Best looking car muscle expensive look
sorry, traded the gas guzzler for new camry on sept. 10 after 3rd trip to ford service, lost $10,000 $ but oh well expensive mistake , don't have to deal with ford service dept or see the giant lemon in the driveway !!!
yea, ford made anoucment while ago that they wanted to make all cars everywhere the same
