The 2.7 was designed to be turbo charged whereas the 3.5 turbos were added to an existing engine. The 2.7 in my F150 is awesome, I have a 93 octane custom tune and it will go! I would choose the Fusion over the SHO just because of the 2.7 engine choice.
This is a sexy looking, smooth driving car. I don't know why everyone hates on it. The interior is a little boring but it comes with ambient lighting to spice things up and if you get extras like Navigation it definitely makes things more interesting and fun. I currently own a 15 Fusion SE and I have no complaints. I plan on getting a Sport within a few weeks :)
I wish i could've leased my 15, I'd get one or treat myself and spring for the MKZ. But, I purchased mine so I'm going to drive it for a couple more years to gain equity and sell it.
UnitedWeStand4EVR I love them. Super sharp looking little car. Wish they would make a coupe version.
Its a Ford Fusion, for the price point in thr market it is supposed to be catering to, how crazy do people expect it to be?
Holyshit $40k???? Wtf happened to the dollar
i love your car reviews mike. im upgrading my 2014 fusion se to a 2017 sport because of the v6 twin turbo and style and amenities/festures that are safety oriented like lane departure warning and uphead near collision display for my daughter too. love the reviews. ill tell the folks at freeway ford in minnesota im upgrading because of your cool videos
Did you ever get the sport? If so, how has the reliability been? I'm thinking of trading in my 14 Titanium for a sport
So far this has been the MOST HELPFUL, INFLUENTIAL, and INFORMATIVE tool to help me shop...Thank you so much
Wish it was manual! My '14 SE is manual, very happy I found it year old left over.
videos are getting really good Mike keep em up man!
Thank you !
Picking up my FFS Thursday, im quite excited tbh
I picked up my 2017 Fusion Sport Wednesday night. Traded in my 2010 fusion sport and the new one is awesome! I only have 100 miles on it. I was worried about the sound of the motor (only ever heard the engine sound from vids on youtube) and I will admit its much better than I thought it was going to be. So far I am really enjoying it and happy with my purchase.
Oh hell yes, we've been waiting for this! Thank you!
Thanks for watching :)
Do you know if the tires are all season?
i went and test drove this vehicle today. it's a great car, resonable performance and killer price. my only grit with the car is it has great mid range torque, then falls on its face approaching shift points. i feel like it needs about 50hp more. torque is excellent, horse power needs some attention in my opinion. overall great review for a great car.
Thank you !
Great review both thorough road test, walk around and interior features. This car will be my next ford. Formerly SHO owner.
Thank you ! Glad you liked it :)
Just picked this up (black w/gray int) and love it! People need to realize that: it's a midsize sedan and not a track car. So with that said, I love it and it is FAST! Handles well too, just minor trim issues I have is: the chrome pieces on the exterior should be matte or flat which would make it stand out as a SPORT, wheels are sweet also. Interior is fine as it is but overall I'm very happy. Also got $3250 in rebates! (extra bonus), thanks for the review Mike!
Awesome! Congratulations :)
I am a big fan of the Fusion Sport.. I have recently purchased a 2012 Sport and I'm in love with that design in particular. Not looking to trade it, but I may want to go out and test the 2017 Sport. Took them long enough to include LEDs in the design.
Thanks for sharing.!
the console is one of my favorite parts about this car. very nice use of space. and the dial shift, really gives you more access below the screen. which I love to use that spit for my phone give the Bluetooth access. so to me, the dial is actually even more convenient for space access.
It is, I like the additional space you get as well :)
I'm keeping my 2016 Ford Fusion titanium, I'm loving it ,
Great video!
How noticeable was the difference in power when switching from your personal Ford Fusion to the Fusion Sport? You also mentioned that the engine sounds great along with the intake sounds but were there any noticeable sounds from the twin turbos? Thanks!
Car and Driver got this car 5.1 sec to 60 mph and 13.7 sec in the 1/4 mile. I seen one test where this car reached 60mph in 4.9 sec (in cold weather albeit). These ecoboost engine DO need break in time, sure maybe not all but the 2.7 DOES. Got almost 5k miles on my Sport and I absolutely LOVE it!
good video! don't worry about exhaust sound, the aftermarket will have something better out fast. I put a borla cat-back on my 11' ecoboost f150 and it sounded way better than stock.
Hi, just came across your review today, great review. I got my 2018 Fusion Sport about 4 years ago, and still love it. You mentioned the exterior look, I love it but should have been ST badged.
Dude sounds like Matt Damon😊👍
nice got mines on last Friday love it thanks
Congratulations !
I hit a like before watching. . too much time waiting. thanks Mike for the review
Thank's for watching !
so happy I waited for the new Fusion I don't know what to do by by Camry hello 2017 Fusion
Digging that music in the beginning...and the Fusion
Thank you !
it was totally worth the wait, great video
Thank you !
Great video. You know I was waiting. Got everything I need now to decide. Question..How do we convince Ford to drop the 2.7 in a Platinum?
Thank you ! I hope they do! That would be a perfect combo !
absolutely LOVE this car. M/T, would probably be offered in a coupe version of the sport. but then, it would probably be more like a mustang.
still love my 06 v6 SEL
thanks for the all-wheel-drive info. and I was also wondering on the ecoboost engine if you use regular unleaded or are you putting premium in the tank
great video production man
Thank you !
Ive loved the Fusion Sport ever since it came out in 2010. My family has a 2010 Fusion base model, so Im very familiar with the older design. I love the older design over the new, because its SIMPLE but yet sporty and has enough features on the higher models. But when the 2013 design came out, I thought they would never bring the Sport back again. So Im really happy with Ford. Those rims could be bigger too like you mentioned. I think their too small for the car. But I would still buy this car one day. I would buy a 2012 Fusion Sport in candy red before Id buy something this high tech.
getting one of these at the end of the month, wondering how much power you could add to one of these.
I love my 2010 SE that is a 6 speed manual transmission. Was kind of disappointed that they no longer come manual. I have a video of driving after adding the MagnaFlow exhaust. Also have the K&N CAI. Sounds amazing.
Love that intro music.
i was one of those who has been waiting for this car forever! great video! but you seem so relaxed when accelerating like no smile or anything and it souds pretty lethargic aswell in the video. But i guess i will have to drive one to be impressed! :)
lol, I had been driving the car for a while when I started shooting the video so maybe I was used to it :) Also, I'm not one to over exaggerate emotion to make it a better video.. I know a lot of TH-camr's do that ;) Don't get me wrong either.. the car is fast.. but I have driven a lot faster cars then this one :)
+AutoVlog thanks for the reply! And keep up the good work i am subscribing LoL ;):D
I like how ford put the older style V6/V8 symbol on the engine cover of the fusion sport
Same here! I noticed that as well :)
Great video. I would put that up there in the sleeper category.
Thanks! I would as well
my 2014 hybrid fusion is 2 years old and still flawless so ya
I like it very much. But I would like for the rear deck lid spoiler(wing) to look like the one on the 1997 Ford Thunderbird. When it is too molded to the car like the newer cars are now a days it just looks like a part of the car, instead of setting it off from a car without a spoiler(wing). What do you think about my idea?
Thank you for a honest to goodness review. Im not a Ford guy but kudos to Ford for bringing out this Fusion Sport. I like this car, it aint perfect but its a really nice sports sedan.
Thanks for watching :)
I totally agree about the fake engine noise through the speakers. I rented a Fusion Titanium for a week and it was a turnoff. (actually I wished I COULD turn it off). My son at the age of four had a bike with a battery powered box that made motorcycle sounds. Reminds me of that.
would you consider in getting one of these over the st/rs?
how does it compare to a 2015 ford focus hatchback? i want to get a fusion sport.... my focus is powerful, i have a center exhaust magnaflow i like the fusion
Excellent review Mike. Maybe Borla will come out with an exhaust system for the Fusion Sport in the not too distant future ? My wife and I own a 2013 Titanium Fusion AWD and we love it. Fairly impressive performance for a 2.0 Eco Boost.
Thanks! Yes maybe they will :)
what color is this?? i love it
The first Ford I've looked forward to in a while. (with the exception of the new Focus RS)
what happens if you leave a door partially open and are driving and go to open and close your door? maybe a silly question but would hate to not know and have my transmission fall on the road LOL
would you prefer if it was a manual or stick with the rotary shifter? by the way nice video
I like that new color but not the pin stripe on the side .
great review, well done. I like the car a lot unfortunately its something we wont get here in ireland (mondeo) to be fair its a sport fusion and not a full on ST so it seems like good value for money to me.
Thank you! It's definitely worth the money :)
Ford cars are the only cars that I trust to drive in it's just a good car overall I'm in love I have A2 year old son so safety is my number one priority when I'm driving on the highway
I picked one of these bad boys up on the 5th and I LOVE it. However, I'd like to know more about this "induction noise" I've heard you mention a few times and what speakers have to do with it. One of the things I love about it is the sound. Are you saying that sound is fake? I'm trying to find some info on this, but not having much luck other than some tidbits on noise cancellation speakers that are apparently not uncommon in new cars these days. Is that what you hear in the FuSpo?
The sound isn't fake. There is ANC to get rid of unwanted noises, but the sound you hear is the real sound. The sound isn't coming through the speakers, either.
hello there great review sir I was wondering have you ever driven a V6 accord or a V6 Camry and if you have how does this sport compare
Thank you ! Yes I have.. they are great engines but they do not come in AWD, the feeling is different from FWD, better grip and the Fusion is also quicker
Been looking forward to your review on this car!
Question about the rotary dial - reverts to Park if you open the door - does it throw itself in park if you open the door while in motion? E.g. making sure the door is shut while on the road, quick open and shut.
Seems like that'd be a bad time
No I doubt it lol
does it comes with the parking assist thing?
Thanks for the honest review. I am cross shopping this VS the Dodge Charger Rallye AWD. A bit bigger. A good bit slower. Better looking. (IMHO)
I am curious how the Continuously controlled damping worked? Good feature? Sounds good on the sales slip.
I didn't really touch on the CCD in the video because it's hard to show how it works.. i didn't really notice it a lot while driving it
nice car I'm thinking of getting maybe next year if I play my cards course anything is better than my pos Hyundai Elantra course I'm probably going to buy the hybrid model simply cause I drive a long way to work everyday anyway great vids so the question is are you going to buy the sport or stick. with the 2015 you have now?
Thanks Mike for the vid, I myself loved my 13 Fusion Titanium, but switched to ecoboost 15 mustang, thinking of getting a new fusion, but not too sure now after your review, seems like ford missed on a few things with the sport model, maybe the next version of the sport will be better
tinted windows make a differance..
Def on my top 5 list for my next car. Wish there were other color options for the interior though. Dark earth gray is nice but prefer a black interior as well. White on black leather would look real good. Imo, that chrome strip in the rear is tacky. I would plasti-dip or get it vinyl wrapped in gloss black to match the lower valence. Cool videos man keep it up!
Thank you! It does come with ebony black interior as well
Can i install the front bumper in the old?
As an owner of a 2012 AWD Sport, I was waiting for this model to arrive. My expectations were also higher. I was hoping an 8-speed transmission would have made into production. That can help with reducing the turbo lag. The AWD system remains a reactive one rahter than an active one. The mechanical sound from the engine is not inviting. I couldn't care less for the idea of artificial engine sound. As much as I do like a "sleeper car", they could have put more effort into making the exterior different, and I mean, not make it look a bit garish like the previous generation sport I own. A more distinctive front end, and even a slight taillight treatment would have gone a long way. The same goes with the interior. It looks rather "cold" inside. As for the shifter, it is already an automatic, so the rotary system is welcome because of the extra space. There were a couple of omissions on your review. One, is the select shift would still upshift for you. That is silly. My old Sport will hold the gear until either I shift or it hits the rev limiter. The other omission is a major one. This model has an adaptive suspension system exclusive to it. The fact that you don't mention the ride quality as much different from a Titanium leads me to believe that it is either not that effective, or that it is simply pointless complexity. Other than that, the review is the most helpful I've found and one that will keep me away from the showroom floor. Sorry Ford.
Did you put it in sport mode? lol
BUY IT
Does anyone offer an oil catch can for the 2.7L Fusion? I understand the turbos put out a lot of oil vapor that would go back into the induction system if an oil catch can were not installed. UPR offers an oil catch can for the 2.7L turbo F150. Does anyone offer an oil catch can for the 2.7L Fusion?
Thanks. Great review. I was looking forward to this. One question: does it have stop-start technology?
yes it does
Thanks. Mike didn't have any problem with it. So I guess it is really smooth.
The Fusion Sport I drove does NOT have start stop
OK. Thanks.
Hey Brother it´s me again / I know my question can be answer byself, but I saw that the sound and the accelaration looks kind of the same with the MKZ 3.0 TT but only talking about engines can the 2.7 can feel like the 3.0
Nice car! I just don't like the chrome strip across the back or the wheel design. they look like hub caps.
hows the road noise?
I drove both cars and between the 2016 Toyota Avalon Limited and 2017 Ford Fusion Sport. What is your option of the two cars?
They are very different cars in my opinion.. I would pick the Fusion
Hey there Mike, I've been selling Fords/Lincolns over 10 yrs. you must remember, if testing a dealer car, it has 87 octane fuel in it. The test specs are with FMC's chosen 93 octane, I don't know why they decided on that when all other manufacturers use 91 octane, except in the UK, where their fuel is around 95 octane equivelent. The 315 hp is actually n 91 octane in the Edge Sport. And for the fusion sport, they just rated it on 93 octane, there by adding the extra power. And on dealer gas, it's 305 hp/340 tq... On 87 pump. Great videos as usual. But your just not getting the full power out of a dealer car.
Hey there, I'm fully aware of that and have answered this question earlier as well. I did have 93 octane in the tank :)
Do you feel the Taurus SHO sounds better naturally and if so what would you compare it's exhaust note to?
I talk about that in the video :)
i absolutely agree. I too have a '15 Fusion Titanium in black on black. The question becomes if I was going to buy a new Fusion, would I pick the new sport over the Titanium? Absolutely, but I all ready having a great Titanium I couldn't justify the difference on having to sell and then start all over. I still love my beautiful, sporty Fusion anyway and there wasn't enough of a difference to justify the process again.
(FORD)IFIED 4 LIFE
My next car
I have a 2015 Titanium and the lease is up in Oct. I definately want this. Is this faster than the 2010 Sport with the 3.5 V6?
Yes it is :)
Put a cai and a tune and this car would be perfect!
It needs to lose weight, I own a 2.5 powered fusion and that thing weighs 3500lbs. Most of the non AWD competition is 300-400lbs lighter.
DoomsdayMelody91 yeah it definitely needs to lose weight but really not much you can do about that
That 2.5 is sluggish, I test drove it and didn't like it at all. I have a 2015 2.0 ecoboost and have loved it. I wish they had this option when I got mine, body has been around since 13 and they finally put the motor everybody wanted in it.
Nate TheDaddy
There's nothing wrong with the motor, its the fact that Ford is strapping it to cars that are waaaaaay too heavy for it.
Seems like a review for current Fusion owners, not people actually looking to buy a Fusion. I think the fact that you already own one is preventing you from being objective.
3:55, what is the extremely sensitive topic?
What is up with the drag in 3rd gear under full acceleration? I've watched 3 videos of the Sport and under full throttle acceleration around 4-5K they seem to hang and then go. Seems like a tuning issue..
Mine does this, but it isnt the engine its the transmission. My speedometer is moving up, but the tach stays at 5 for a solid second.
Are they going to offer a manual?
Theres just somethibg about ford and the way they make these super sexy designs! Everything about it seems sexy and aggressive! I LOVE IT!!!
Its a Great Daily Driver car and the Wife Loves it as well.. And, Mike? a Happy Wife, is a Happy Life buddy !
I would much rather see all the chrome in a gloss black like the pillars on the door as that would make it flow much better in color design and make it look much more aggressive in my opinion. I would like to see the wheels a full 20 inch as well to fill the wheel wells better.
Mike..... isn't it time to get one now? For fun? I think it would be good content to buy one and tune the hell out of it... maybe incl other internals if that's possible, other turbo's.. And go to the dragstrip :) I mean... let's be honest. A Fusion needs to be in this channel ;)
Glad you mentioned three lack of torque below 2500 rpm. i get the same feeling in my 2013 Fusion SE, i thought it was just muy imagination. Although above 2500 rpm it really pulls.
Question regarding Sport mode...i can't find any documentation about up/down shifting. Whats the optimum rpm to speed range. Shifting automatic seems different from shifting manual. Thanks.
Awesome video as usual!
I never really use the paddle shifters.. I just shift at around 6 grand if i'm pushing it.. if you don't do it there the car will do it for you
+AutoVlog
interesting. i dont have paddles on my 2013 and i never knew it would shift for you. is that only at redline or does the computer automatically shift at certain intervals while in sport mode? ie 2500, 3000,4000,5000 etc...
at redline
still love my 02 impala which was bought brand knew
17 city 26 highway is not bad for something that churns out 325hp/380torq
Right. My normal fusion has that now. Its because of the EcoBoost engine.
Until you realize an F150 with the same engine is rated 19/26
Karl L the horsepower on that is supposed to be 315bhp and lil less torque
The 2.7 in the F150 is rated 325/380 per Ford.
Sorry, 325/375*
Fusion Sport or Taurus Sho?
it would have been cool to point the camera at the speedometer while driving.
still waiting on the gt video :)
As for my thoughts on the Fusion models. The Sport is definitely worth the money and the speed is amazing. I'm not sure how I feel about the suede inserts yet on the seats. Almost feels like cloth seats, but it does keep you from moving. I wouldn't mind all leather. If you don't get a Sport, I would rather a fully loaded Titanium with 19" wheels. I think the Platinum is too old man feeling with the rims it has and the interior dash color isn't fantastic. I do wish all gray seats/dash/wheel was an option on any trim.
Hard to find these right now. Did they literally just come out?
Yeah they have not been on the market long :)
+AutoVlog Edge Sport or Fusion Sport? I have to choose one.
Thanks for your review. During our test drive of the Sport I found the ride to be firmer than a Titanium. (Even in normal mode we felt more bumps.) Can you comment on the ride? Handling was better on the Sport. Or do you think it rides the same as your Titanium?-Lee
Disable the fake induction noise and maybe rework the exhaust for a more 'real' sport sound?
Side comment, where'd you get your sunglasses?
Some random gas station :)
aJerseyThing
the muffler is the entire back of the car... crazy!
Also, good camera work.
Thanks !
cant u get like hyundai genesis sedan for 39k us?
Did that car for $40k come with the blind spot monitoring, side collision warning, and all the other driver aids or no? I ask because I'm probably to get one with the dual moonroof, and upgraded stereo system.
This one was missing the BLIS/lane keeping system and collision warning. Also, the Fusion does not come with dual moonroof, you will have to go Lincoln MKZ for that.
+AutoVlog that's ok. I actually love e the mirrors on the car. Most people just turn and stop when the car beeps at them... 🙄🙄🙄. What's your opinion, is the extra stuff worth it or not? Does it help resale value or not really? Can you add that stuff later to the car?
do you think the Fusion Sport comes to Europe?
How much gears has the fusion sport?
Very nice Video :)
It is the Mondeo in europe
no, because in germany there gives another engines with no 6 Zylinders, so my question was, gives this Mondeo with this engine for europe`?
Paul Gorden give it time, you just got the Mustang after over fifty years...
Do not like the color, but it will smoke any stupid accord, Camry sonata and optima
😂😂
No Altima or Passat? Or charger? Because they're faster.
+Teighlour Swyftte first of all charger does not compete in this class, it's a full size car, second Passat and Altima are not faster and I do not like foreign cars. I would never buy a VW after their scam
Skyhawk1987Turbo lol the vw nazis and their emissions scam. i'd never buy a nazi car or a japanese car. such as a passat or altima
Hell yeah it will
