2017 Ford Mondeo Review
2017 Ford Mondeo
• 2017 Ford Fusion Revie...
Hands down the best overview of this car on youtube so far. I know it was a pain in the ass doing it twice but your effort is very much appreciated. Can't wait to get my sport!
Thank you ! Glad you liked it :)
cool
I just bought a 2017 ford fusion titanium fwd. used of course but it only has 6000 miles on it. Ive owned it for just over a week now and I love IT.
how much cost you ?
i love my 2017 fusion...i get one every 3 years and will keep doing it !!!
edward ranno So sad they will be discontinued soon!
Jacob Sackter what a sad mistake by Ford. People love this car. It’s everywhere in the NE area of the country...
I definitely like the chrome strip across the rear deck lid and through the tail lights. It gives the rear end a classier finished look.
it needs to be black along with the rest of the chrome
Just got mine the other day in blue with the appearance package. One of the best looking and riding car I've owned.
Awesome upgrade! I just got this one 2 days ago ! Switched from my Ford Fusion SE 2013 Red to that one in Ingot Silver ! Super super , I just so love it !
Congratulations !
Just got the exact same version or this car (color and everything) for my first "real" car. :D
I have the SE luxury package and I love it so much!! No hesitation, it zooms! The AWD is great to have in Minnesota winters!
I ❤ my Blue 2017 Ford Fusion!! It’s everything I prayed for in a car 🚘 ❤❤❤❤!!!
Current Fusion '17 owner here. Excellent review. Came to see it to get some extra piece of information to add to my knowledge. This is a very good car!
Personally, I prefer the new rear fascia over the previous look. I really like the chrome bar that runs the width of the rear and how it separates the tail lights. The front is also awesome and looks a lot better than the previous Fusion, and the previous Fusion is gorgeous to me! The only thing I have to get used to, like you, is the dial shifter. While I see the extra room benefits, taking that shifter out will take some getting used to. Other than that, I would proudly own a 2017 Fusion. Ford definitely got this right all the way around! P.S. My prefered model is the Sport.
In addition to the other comments here, I wanted to thank you for not swearing in this video. This is a very comprehensive review that's NOT about the Titanium or Platinum, so it's more realistic, and I'm glad I can show this to people freely!
My Ford Fusion is an SE EcoBoost with a 1.5 liter 4 cylinder engine. It’s great on gas, fun to drive and some of your features I don’t have on mine: for example the sunroof, the engine start button on the key, and the blind spot light. I ❤ my car 🚘!
I sat in one the other day at the Dealer, and man, that door has SUCH a nice, solid "thunk." Sounds like excellent quality. And I was amazed by the leg room and head room in the rear seats. I'm 6'0 and with the Driver's seat in my position, I climb into the rear and it was still plenty of room with a few extra inches to spare. Very comfortable.
I have a 2013 Fusion in Bordeaux Reserve! Best color Fusion hands down. Love your honest reviews. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you !
Great video... Love the color choice too :)
Thanks Mike!
so different opinion based on the location. I have a feeling that this colour would never be "welcome" in EU
:)
I currently have a 2016 fusion with luxury package. From what I see, there's not a big change from 2016 to 17 aside from the gear shifter and new sync system. One thing I like about my 16 is I can control the air conditioner from the steering wheel. The 17's don't have that feature anymore. Never had a problem with the old sync system either.
The more I look at this car the better off I'll be with my 16. Love my car and I'll keep it till I see a new body style.
Great video. I'm highly looking into a Ford Fusion really soon. I love the front of the car. I have the same opinion as you for the rear of the car. Love everything about this car
Thanks ! yeah, that rear fascia will have to grow on me :)
I fell in love with the new Fusions. Im n the middle of purchasing a 2017 Fusion. Moving FORD never backwards!!!!!!
Been watching/subscribed since the c63 and started looking to buy a new fusion this week but wanted to hear what you had to say first and remembered you specifically saying in one of your vids you reviewed the fusion and now I'm here. Good content then and now. 👍
like the tail lights of 2016 fusion a lot more though.
This video helped confirm my decision in getting this vehicle. Thank you!!
I ordered my 2017 SE from the factory a few months before the car was released. I also got the moon roof added and the premium 12 speaker set. It's already at a dealership waiting for me to pick up but I won't I won't be seeing the car until I rotate out of Japan in September :'( #military
-Thank you for your service Junnie.
Enjoy that swagged out Fusion bro! you deserve it
+Glen W. Ford oorah
+Cory Phillippi hell yea definitely will
Currently looking to purchase a 2017 fusion. This was a good review.
hey man good thing that your showing each and every thing in the car continue that
Thank you, I will :)
Not sure if you've shown it, but if you're OCD like me and liked the darkness of the older Ford Sync, you can change your screen to be on night mode all the time. The white screen just didn't flow with my black interior.
Always great reviews, very in depth and I love the length. I'd rather watch these than some network sitcom. I prefer longer, more in depth reviews! Keep them coming. Would you ever do some night time reviews to show off the cool lighting Ford uses?
Thanks! Glad you like them :) I have been thinking about doing some night videos just haven't gotten to it yet
AutoVlog I get ya! Making vids takes a lot of time. :-)
They need to come out with heated moonroof next,especially for those of us in snowy,midwest climates. That way,in such a hard place to reach as the top of the car, snow and ice can be melted off with the tap of a button from the cabin.
Thank you for doing that detailed review!
You are welcome !
Have a '15 ford mondeo (fusion in this side of the pond, for you Americans) and I am very sad to see that they didn't bring the sequential signal lights of the mondeo to this refreshed fusion. I can say it is one of the most eye catching feature of Mondeo and I hope they keep it for Mondeo's refresh probably in '18. Very good review by the way, good job.
Love the new console design & front & rear fascias. That color combo as well is my favorite!
Great review! I have a 2015 Fusion SE Hybrid. Love it! The gas usage in the hybrid, at least in the non-winter months is great. I am in Canada, and am getting 5.0 L/100 km. (about 45 MPG) in the city. I have told my salesman that I want to test drive the new Sport model, but am not really in the market. Gas in Canada is getting expensive again, which is why I love my hybrid.
Thank you! The hybrids are great but I love AWD and power so if I get another Fusion it will be the Sport !
heres a tip for future reviews, if you use a sun shade over the front windsheild the interior shots look a lot better, in my opinion. try it out and see for yourself
Looks like Ford finally began to revitalize their interiors
Glad you specified Pistol OR Tampons! Good vid, thanks!
Will be buying the sport soon. Trade in my 2011 sport with only 13K on it..well sell it cuz dealers won't give me crap for it
Geez, now I'm disappointed that I got the 2016 Fusion Titanium, which BTW is also bronze fire. If I'd known this was coming out, I would have waited. I love the new updates and that Burgundy Velvet is stunning!
You still have a very nice looking car ;) and I would have to say, I like the Bronze Fire color more then the burgondy velvet.
I have a 2013 Ford flex thank you for helping us find a SUV
You're welcome ! Glad you found one
Great video Mike. Keep it up. A question, I read somewhere that the dead pedal (left foot rest position) location on the 2017 Fusion was changed, can you check how is the change? Test drove a 2016 recently & the dead pedal is small & kinda awkwardly angled to the right, was not comfortable for my size 13 wide foot! I just don't understand this with Ford, the same is also in the Explorer. The Edge is much better, but the 2015+ have a short dead pedal! Previous models didn't have this problem.
I like everything about the car except the rear fascia. Not a fan of the chrome trim on the trunk. But I much prefer the 2017 Fusion Sport.
Thanks for posting and providing the extra details like the dial shifter putting itself in part when the drivers door opened. I actually like the updated rear and think the front is a step back - less aggressive. Glad they didn't mess with it too much though overall. Maybe an extra inch of rear legroom would have been nice, but understand it just a mild refresh and finding that room would not have been possible with it being an update.
Great review, thanks for sharing it! :) I got enough information for next project, thumb up for your video :)
Thank you for this awesome review ☺️
Thanks for the video! I'm right at the point of deciding between a used 2015 Fusion Titanium with all the bells and whistles (also in bronze fire) or a 2017 model, love the front fascia but I agree, the rear doesn't look as good as the old one. Based on your initial impressions, do you think its worth the extra cash to get a 2017? or would I be better off saving a few bucks and going with the 2015? Love the videos man!
Great review! Have a 2012 Fusion that we are looking to replace and the 2017 Fusion will be first choice.
Thanks !
Am I bad for looking to get a 2016 fusion opposed to the 2017 because I don't like the lack of gear lever?
I like having one to rest my hand on and I like to shift with a lever. :)
here in europe is still mondeo and it look awesome!
My friend has a 2014 Ecoboost SE w/Lux and it's an awesome car. The non sync 3 (base head unit) has better gauges imo. The standard ford gauges look way better with the physical tach/speedo + configurable screen in the middle.
I have noticed that I wish they would have the big screen with the same gauges as the ones with the small screen
Awesome video! So thorough. Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)
I like the fascia, but it DESPERATELY needs a spoiler still. The trunk lid creases are horrible!
The Titanium, Sport and SE with Appearance package get it.. this is an SE W/luxury package, that's why its missing one .
Oh I know, it just looks incomplete without it. That trunk lid just needs an overhaul and has since 2013 for something cleaner that could get away without needing something extra to round it out.
I wish the led light strip was continuous across the back like on some of the ford Edges. It's nice that its continuous on the titanium, but it would be great if it was on the other trim levels too. That crome bar is a little off-putting. Other than that the '17 Fusion is a gem of American ingenuity!
Thinking about buying an "S" model with the 2.5, I like simplicity in a car, and that's probably as simple as I'll be able to get.
Great video, a lot of details and it's very well explained. :)
Thank you !
I'm pretty sure that the 2017 Fusion Titanium and above do have the tail lights in the trunk mounted lights.
Great review, I have been waiting a long time for this car as well! It'll be my next one I think. I was wondering if you would do a night time review to show off those great lights. Too bad they went with LED Lamps instead of HID's, and still no static turn lamps or adaptive headlamps though. Wish they would stick rear fogs on as well.
I own the 2009 Ford fusion and I just got the 2016 Hyundai sonata sport let me say this I love the new fusion but with that sticker price and no GPS and no Sony sounds system the back seats feel cramped compare to my fusion now and the sonata will kill this one in space inside and trunk space the only good thing this car has going for it it's the all wheel drive system that's about it and I hate the new back of the fusion I prefer the 2015 for the price there is better deals out here but that's just my opinion and this was great review keep up the good work.
Great video , tnk u for all ur explanations! Watched many of ur videos , very helpful!
Thanks! Glad you liked them :)
I know this is an old review, but a coworker just bought a new 2020 Fusion Titanium this past weekend, and i had no idea these were still being made. (Seems 2020 is the final edition) It's a very nice car, and to my eyes still looks better than any of its direct competitors. Sad to see this one go, it would have been interesting to see what Ford could do for the next generation. Who would have thought the company who made cars available to the everyman around the world would decline to compete in every possible automotive category? They have the sports car category covered with several flavors of Mustang..and even a supecar (GT) but no midsize sedan which used to be the bread and butter for any carmaker doing business in North America? For the record I drive a 2016 GTI...not contributing to the all crossover/SUV all the time world we now live in. ;)
The thing I like is the leds and that they are going to put the 2.3 v6 in it preferably I like my 2016 se better as far as looks Im not a fan of the big crome stripe on the back of the 2017 over great review looks like we have alot of the same likes and taste
Thank you !
Great vehicle! loved the video, I think my only complaint with this car is the windshield wipers the direction they go in. Either that the car is really nice.
Good review. My preference would be the 2017 Fusion Hybrid front wheel drive with no moon roof. Don`t like AWD. Don`t like turbocharge. I`m guessing the road noise is from the moonroof. Btw-they tend to leak.
Thanks !
I have a quick question. If by this time next year I'm ready to buy, but have to order what I want and the 2018s may start to come out. If I order the car at that time would I be forced to order an '18 model?
If Ford at that time has stopped taking orders for 17's the yes, you would have to order a 18. You can also have the dealership try to locate you one the way you want it.
It definitely needed a restyling. Any idea when they will update the Mondeo as its basically the same car? Also its a shame we dont get a 4wd version in Europe. Cheers and keep up the good work.
Hey just want to start by saying love the channel and the fact you are from PGH! That means all of your reviews usually include a segment where you discuss the handling in the inevitable winters (great because I drive home to PGH all year).
I am upgrading from a 2011 Jetta SE and would like something larger with more tech features. I am considering a Ford Taurus SHO or an Impala. Which would you recommend in terms of passenger space & comfort, power/speed and safety features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, and LUMBAR support for my back (one thing I AM looking for)? Also, do you recommend any specific model years?
Thanks again and keep on making these awesome reviews!!
Safe driving.
only thing i hate about the cap less gas tank is that anything could stick something in your tank at night or such if they wanted to ruin your engine.
Smokey the Bear anyone could stick anything in anyone's gas tank if they really wanted to
Its my understanding that the cap actually locks closed when the car doors are locked at the same time.
I have this car it's sweet
Hoping this is gonna be the face lift for the Mondeo
Yea,the 200 isn't going anywhere. I believe the AWD system in the Chrysler 300 is being discontinued because it didn't sell well.
I have a 15 ford fusion SE with the MyFord Touch package and I love it. I personally like the look of the old system better but I agree this looks much more user friendly. I didnt see enough differences to get a 2017 from what I have. I do wish Ford would allow everyone the option to upgrade to Sync 3, even for a $1000 doller price though, I feel like they kind of just abandon us that dont want to get the new Fusion. Also why is there only 2 options on the right screen? Its almost like they updated the center screen with sync 3 but left the ones above the steering wheel the old version, and took a bunch of stuff out.
After looking over the '17 Fusion for a little while I agree with you as far as one point- I Like the flatter look of the '15-'16 front end better than the '17's more wrap-around front, and I prefer the SE horizontal-bar grille to the Titanium's mesh look.
I drove a couple of new SE's ( 1.5 's ) today and was very impressed with the ride and handling even though they were equipped with only '17 wheels and tires.
I'd appreciate any comments you might be able to offer re how you would compare the Fusion's driving dynamics to the 1.8T Passat SEL which has 18' wheels and tires.
One observation I've made myself is how the VW 1.8 develops its torque at 1500 rpm vs the Fusion's 4000+ number. I thought the Fusion 1.5 was a little anemic by comparison. Thank You.
Hi again from Germany near Hannover!
Nice Video and i like the new gearshift too. The New Sync 3 is a nice featcher too and i look to change my Sync 2 for it. Is it possible to make?
So i send you Al the best
bay Mathias (Matze)
Thank you !
Yes you can upgrade the My Ford Touch to Sync 3 but it is costly..
All the best for you as well !
Thank you my 1 st. time o your autolog review on 2017 Ford Fushion. i have a 2014 considering tho 2017 .
Steering wheel and speedometer area look exactly like the Lincoln MKT
The rear end looks less like a Focus...that's a good thing IMO.
i live in london uk i just ordered the new 2017 ford galaxy titanium x i was told that its made in germany
that is the exact car I want to buy!
I thought you would say that ;)
Adding the LED headlights and getting rid of the projector in my 2014 AWD Titanium model. I am wondering will the instrument cluster tech update with the sync 3 update? 2014 has the TP monitoring but does not show each tires pressure.
Beast face lights.
I agree with you, Your 2015Fusion looks better and I'm not impressed with that new 2017 color either, I'm Still a fan of the 2017 Fusion but I'm sticking with the buying a 2016 Fusion and saving some money, Great review as usual
Thanks !
This is the car that i whant to buy next year😀
So have you decided if your going to get one or not yet? Great video. I really like the dial for gears. In my current Fusion I always use the passenger drink holder because when I use the driver side one my arm bumps into my drink when using the armrest and its also harder to pick the drink up in the drivers side holder.
I haven't decided yet ;) I agree with you, the turn dial shifter is something I'm liking more and more, especially the increase in room
One question for you: what kind of gas do you put in it for maximum performance? I put Arco 86 regular unleaded. Thanks!
Could you tell me if the ride is soft cushioned or firm and sporty? Could you compare the ride against Toyota Camry's ride ? Thank you
2017 Ford Fusion has upgraded their structural strength and does better in the new crash test.
240 horsepower from a 4 cylinder??? That's really good!
My 2010 Ford Fusion only has 175 horses and its sluggish
***** Yeah that's why I can't wait for my next Fusion. I'm only 19, and my Fusion has about 100,000 miles, so i won't be upgrading anytime soon, but when I do, I'll def go for the 2.0 Ecoboost, cuz that gets better performace and gas mileage than my dad's 2008 Dodge Avenger RT with a 3.5 L V6
Jonathan A it’s a little late, but i’m going to be getting a 1.5 turbo. that good?
On the titanium trim level, the tail light led strip does continue onto the trunk portion
do u recommend buying this car I'm debating between this and the new Toyota camry?
I definitely recommend this car, I would pick it over a Toyota Camry any day.
+AutoVlog thanks
My mom just bout the 2019 model it lock the same
Hey, I’ve got a question. I’m picking up a 2017 Fusion Titanium this next week, found a great deal with only 8k miles. Question is, do all the 2017 titanium models have the full LED tail lights? I know they aren’t wrap around with the new redesigned rear. Just curious.... thanks man. Love the videos
We Got 2- HYBRIDS.. 1 up in Wi. ( Summer Place) and the other down in our Fla Winter Place.. Sun Roofs.. Wish they made Convertibles..Could be the Poor Mans Mustang or the Hybrid Mustang!
Nice video thanks
Question: is the SE Luxury available with ambient lighting? Or is that just Titanium, Sport, and Platinum?
Can you review the Ford fusion energy titanium? It would be very helpful to me
Very good review, as expected!
I have a Mondeo,2016(bought 2 weeks ago,full,i sent you on instagram). I have to say,not much upgrades,aside from the gear and sync 3.
I you're thinking about upgrading,i won't go for it,altough i know you work for Ford. Your car is beautiful,the color is more nicer than this one. I would customise it instead(bigger rims,more hp, leds(i saw you don't have em),etc.
But it is your choice and your money,just an opinion.
Keep up the good work, thank you for the video!
Thank you! glad you liked it :)
Yes, I have yet to decide on what I'm doing regarding a new car, I have toyed with the idea of modifying my car.. we will have to see ;)
Either way, share it with us. Regards!:)
Hello. I have a question about rear lights on Mondeo fusion. Inner tail lights at rear. Do they have 2 sopts for fog lights in left or right side. If not have you came across a Mondeo that does have them.
Can we get the same video for Ford Fusion 2017 hybrid please?
what's the difference between the se with Ford touch with leather and a titanium. I'm planning on leasing a escape and having a tough time picking a trim level
There are several differences, you can get different equipment packages for the two trim levels as well but basically features that are standard on a Titanium VS an SE are: Sony Stereo system, ambient lighting, remote start, push button start a.s.o there are also minor differences in the exterior styling :)
Ok thanks. As long as my car has a power seat 4wd and navigation I'm happy with a se
Really appreciate your videos ... your comment that you are considering upgrading your Fusion with LED running lights prompts me to ask which after-market LEDs you would recommend and whether Ford offers a factory upgrade installed by dealer, so I don’t have to worry about my local mechanic screwing up the electrical system. I just bought a brand new 2016 Fusion and watched your videos first to help me decide which options I wanted. I actually like the 2016 body style better than the 2017. BTW, are there after-market packages that are available just for front, just for rear, just for fog ??? or are they only available as an “all 3” package ??? I’m mainly interested in the line of LEDs under the Headlights . . . and maybe the Tails - if you can, include your preference on this. Thanx
Thank you ! appreciate you watching :) I was going to use "the lighting firm" but they went out of business so I'm not really sure now.
I just purchased a 2017 Ford Fusionwith 2,000 miles on it. I love it but it seems a little loud to me when parked or sitting. I've driven a Nissan for the past 6 years so maybe their engines are just quieter. Any thought? I'm I overreacting?
Shana Simmons i just got one today. And i noticed that aswell, especially when going from a dead stop and speeding up.
thanks, had been waiting for this video. What do you think of the Mazda 6 compared with ford fusion? I have not yet clear what to buy. Greetings from Colombia.
Depends.. The Mazda 6 is a nice looking vehicle.. but not for me, it does not come with AWD and only has 1 engine alternative which is only 185HP.. The Ford has 4 engines and also AWD as an option
