I actually own this car, and it quick, quiet, refined, comfortable, has power where you need it. It is heavy but feels substantial and has a feeling of quality. It is a Ford, but you know what? I really like Ford
me too!
scottbmpls Hello fellow FuSpo owner!
I have had mine just 3 days. Each day it gets better
With a light food how good can your fuel economy get?
Same
I own this car with 60k miles here in 2023...I LOVE IT! Great car. I'm a big guy 6'2" and 250 lbs and it's comfortable. Car looks, feels, and even still smells brand new! Watched this review just now and enjoyed it very much. You were SPOT on. )
10:46 for lets turn on to this backroad here fan.
another useless commentor lmfao
Albert S. a BRZ? Fast?
I'm so glad you said that
another useless commentor bless you!

The day my mans gets his hands on the new Demon and turns onto a back road is going to be glorious
Did you just assume a Demon is going to even make that turn to begin with?

Owen S Can't agree more, if you never get to drive a 500 + hp car, watch his reviews. He will give you the closest feeling of being behind the wheel of one of those beast, without you actually driving it. Subwrx and the Fast lane guys are my favorite car reviewers

thuglifezeem716 it was a good video
So I have owned this v-6 fusion for about 12 months...it's absolutely the best driver I've had for the money...gets about 25mph...very quick, very economical, very quiet...just love it for the price/performance entry points...I would eventually swap out the exhaust for something a little louder but that's just me. Only thing I don't really like is the gray interior...no other options available...but other than that the sync 3 is wonderful
Keep in mind that for like 500 dollars you can tune it and add 100hp/tq. This car runs 12's tuned it's nuts.
500 dOlLAr tUnE
FusionEcoboostFan until the enfine breaks.
FusionEcoboostFan Would love to see a source on this.
Alexander Breeze www.livernoismotorsports.com/product/LPP631145 stage 1 is 50hp gain nearly and stage 2 is nearly 100 although it's $600 not $500 just scroll down a little bit and it shows all the dyno sheets from it. but I'm sure you can get a dyno tune to get more hp out of it.
ok now where do you see 12s?
I will have to check this car out, I have the 2016 2.0 Ecoboost. I love driving this car as a daily driver. Great review!
Took delivery of this vehicle last week, and I must say i am very very happy with the purchase.
Hiya. Two years later, how's the Sport holding up for you?
My buddy got one for an insurance rental and I got to drive for a day. Fell in love. Something like this is going to be my first car to buy brand new.
I'm waiting for the day when a car doesn't "start right up."
Even the regular 2017 fusions kicks so hard. Good job to ford
matt the type of nigga to go camping with the boys and "forget" his tent
Im finna bust matts the type to put water in his cereal when there's no milk left
RR3Demos bro 😂😂😂
Justin Negrón broooo 😂😂😂😂
Good Job Matt we appreciate the reviews, thanks.
You know its about to get lit when you hear "lets turn on to this backroad here"
definitely agree with you on the back roads fun I have a Sport for a daily and it's comfortable and pretty quick for what it is. no complaints.
I like the interior of the car, looks really nice and high quality.
I love that little wing spoiler in the back. I don't know why these companies don't make anymore vehicles with spoilers.
Good review, compared to the Accord v6 or The Camry v6 or Kia Optima or The Altima this car beat all those car's in handling and in 0 to 60 times. Very Good materials and cabin noise is great. Yes the Car's weight is a hard to understand for a misize but it's still pretty quick. I test drove this car before 4 month's ago.
Been waiting for you to review this, Matt you should review a 2010-2013 Subaru legacy GT with the 6 speed manual. Its like a grown up WRX
This is the perfect daily driver for car enthusiast it's relatively fast very practical looks good and now they have discounted them so much you could get one for 25k which is great and it won't break the bank you can then have your sports car on the side and have a complete garage
Definitely agree about the tachometer for this sport model
I have a 2018. It’s been flawless. I had a 2014 Titanium before that. Both cars have never given me a single issue. I got rid of a BMW for them. No regrets!
Good video! I'm excited to do a video on one of these!
I was waiting on this review 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I was hoping you named your channel BackroadGasmGT!! Lol you always get really happy on those backroads!!!
Drive it for 1000 miles and break in the Ecoboost. That, plus using 93 octane will impress and keep up with almost any cars on the road. What a sleeper! Camrys and Sonatas pull up and try to race me, but it takes just a few seconds for them to realize this car is way out of their league.
Just took delivery of a 2014 (lease return w/ 32k miles) Ford Fusion Titanium AWD w/ 2.0 liter ecoboost, and I'm loving it. The more I drive it, the more it reminds me (favorably) of a newer, faster, less expensive version of the 1999 Audi A6 Quattro I owned some years back. Very stable on the highway, very stable cornering, good power (Ford claims 240 hp with 87 octane for the 2.0 ecoboost, BUT they also state in the owner's manual that the engine will deliver better performance with higher octane gas.) Considering a 9.3:1 compression ratio with twin turbos and variable valve timing, this makes sense. Drove over to Shell, and filled the tank w/ 91 octane; I noticed better acceleration immediately -- cheapest, quickest, easiest "performance mod" going ;). Also have to say I'm happy that my 2014 Titanium AWD weighs 440lbs less than the 2017 Sport. All that extra weight negates most of the 85hp increase over the 2.0l engine. I think Ford is thinking of the Fusion Sport as a competitor with the 3.0 A6. Performance and features are very similar for about $15k less.
Your titanium isn't twin turbo
Hell ya been waiting on this got a 2010 and love it
Did u get new cameras? The quality of this video inside the car is so clear, and so clean maybe I've been watching your channel too long lol either way nice review, it was impressive to see ford revive itself so much from the fusion and some others.
+Joe Caravello same camera gear but I'm glad it looked good to you, thanks!
Nice. Dual cameras works well!
Man, the fusion; This one makes me think of the Falcon XR8.
ok my ‘Burgh brother, here’s the question... you tested both the SHO and Fusion Sport- overall, which would you prefer as a family sport sedan and why? Thanks in advance!
I was going to get a used Audi s4. Ended up going with the Fusion Sport and am pretty happy with it. Yes its not a luxury car like the Audi but at the end of the day youll be able to put your money into actually modding the car instead of fixing it when shit goes wrong with the Audi.
Audi’s are crap cars. Ford has its issues but I’d say you made the way better choice
imagine when someone adds larger sway bars and a strut tower brace some sticky tires... a couole bolt ons and a tune.... thats going to be a mean 4 door!
I test drove one and really liked it. I know that my current 2016 Fusion 1.5 Ecoboost is slow, but after driving that it made it so much worse. Haha. Dealer near me had loaded blue one for 6k off sticker, it was tough to not go get it.
3 years late... but I am looking into purchasing this model all decked out (msrp 42k) for 23k from a certified pre owned ford dealership. I’ve been watching many reviews and I think you nailed it when you said if you treat this car as a sport, rather than a ST or RS, you cannot be disappointed. At 23k I think it is a steal, especially with only 22k miles.
This Sport seems like a huge improvement over last gen. My dads 2010 Fusion sport is a pile compared to the newest one!
a fusion rs with 450hp and 450 tq would be pretty badass
I feel like it's an incomplete sport sedan. It has decent power but nothing besides that is rather sporty. Give it some more seat bolstering, maybe bigger brakes, sportier trans, more aggressive styling, and you'd have a solid competitor to GM and Dodge sport sedans.
Trevon Adams yeah but you can't compare this to the Chevy SS at all this car costs 33-40 max where as a SS starts at 40-50 and is obviously a better car. The charger rt competes with this though.
Yes but if you gave it some of the things I mentioned then maybe it could compete with those cars
Trevon Adams it definitely can. On a real world road, this has ten times the Usable power. Charger is a dog
Matt, did you put 91 or higher octane in it? It won't make full power on 87.
Reminds me of the updated version 3rd gen Taurus SHO even the color combos!
I feel like one of two things happened here. Either Ford didnt quite understand what people wanted in a sportier Fusion, or people didnt understand what Ford was trying to do with the Fusion sport. I think people expected something far quicker and more dramatic. I dont think this is supposed to be an ATS competitor, but rather an A4. Its sport in the way the Sonata Sport is. Its just quicker nice daily car to drive. That and they need it to not be the MKZ 3.0tAWD. Imagine if it had that set up tuned though. I think a Fusion RS or ST would be good. Id really like to see the 3.0t and AWD from the MKZ, and the rotary knob to go away, and special seats. 5 sec ish 0-60. high 12. Yes please.
Put a front view camera when your doing acceleration
COOL Review: 2017 Ford Fusion Sport
WHATS UP EVERYBODY SUPERDERX FAN HERE.....
B. Chan now it's Matt maran motoring
Hey Matt, I can tell you from first hand experience you aren't missing anything by having the Sync 3 without built in NAV. I rented a Ford Explorer Limited which had Sync 3 with built in NAV. I ended up using Google Maps via Android Auto nearly the entire trip. The only times I did not use Google Maps via Android Auto for Navigation were the few times when for whatever reason my phone would not sync up. I never once had issues finding an address using Android Auto via Google Maps and there were at least two separate occasions where the Sync 3 provided Navigation could not locate the address at all. I was not out in the sticks either, I was in a major city.
Interesting. Yeah now with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, I'll never pay for nav again.
I'll get a 2013 and up SHO and tune it. 0 to 60 less than 5 seconds , 12 seconds quarter plus AWD. and HUGE TRUNK !
Overall it's a great car. The only issue that remains is the high depreciation of fusions. If you really want it then wait till 2018 model come up then go and buy a used low mileage 2017 model.
The best bang for the buck for the Sport is get one with minimal options. Mine stickered for $35k. I got it for $30k and ,0.0% financing can't beat. Its not the fastest car in the world but it is a very fun car. Base on them is $32k and it still has the magnetic dampers, which is unheard of in the sub $40k range.
sitting in mine just now. very comfy car. choose this over a new new 320d and an Audi a4 black edition.
I wish it had a little more exhaust note
.......or a LOT more.......
So the mentality of the car is basically the same as my old Mondeo ST220, wasn't amazing to 60.... BUT rolling, yes it would shock posher badges! The ST220 would pull really well on the motorway. I absolutely love the look of this car, really hope the UK gets this??? Would be great to see a fast Mondeo back in Europe again. Not sure what Ford would call it here, Mondeo ST or a Mondeo Sport?? Also I wonder if Mountune will do a performance upgrade package for this, as its a ecoboost turbo??? I think a mountune cat-back system would go down well on this, the OEM muffler is huge, the standard exhaust is just too quiet! But nice review on this motor, again just hope we get it.
clarkgavinst I'm with you. Waiting to order a new Mondeo - just getting frustrated waiting for this updated verion. Apparently later this year!?
0-60 for this car is 5.1 seconds. It might not feel as fast as a german luxury car but it'll smoke an STI off the line (5.3).
GETTING MINE TMR!!!!
Just watched the just-released Doug Demure video on the Diablo. I've got to say - hearing the stupid happy music in the beginning of this video, and seeing the stupid smiling face of subaruwrflwefhewjf, makes one wish things never change.
the bolstering in that is slightly larger than in my 2017 Fusion SE
can you do a Lincoln mkz review
Another great video by Subaruwrxfan!
Hmmm should I get this over the mazda6? Only thing is that this is gonna break down in a few months
High seating position is the reason why you aren't feeling the sensation of acceleration as much.
THe turbo lag could be they put lower octane fuel in the car. Mine with premium gas has no lag, just instant go.
Do you know if this thing is going to be available in Europe anytime soon?
im here for the turn on to the back road
how does the hybrid plug-in version look like this
Finally!
nice ride I love it nice Quality Ford Fusion Sport sweet ride got some horsepower I like that awesome car in my book they beat it up pretty good nothing wrong with Fords but I like GM I'm a Pontiac fan GM but the Ford Fusion Sport nice ride
No wonder people say it doesn't feel like it has 380 pounds-feet of torque. The car weighs as much as a Dodge Charger.
Dank Memer I have a rt road and track this shit didn't feel as fast at all
jldude84 but it's slower.lol
thuglifezeem716 rwd makes car "feel" faster. I'll tell you what this car is faster then the Taurus sho I had with similar mods. And there wasn't an rt that could touch me. From a dig in the real world awd is a much bigger advantage than on paper. Ive raced a few scat packs from a dig with the sho at stage 2 and would walk away from them 0-130 then let off all those chargers and challengers do is spin with stock tires. For less money then the tires alone you can get a tune and walk everything in its class and even above. Mid 12s is bmw m3 times at the drag strip and this car is half of the price. HALF! and it's awd. Just a really good deal especially compared to its competitors like the camry and Accord. Both hitting 40k for a turbo 4cylinder or a na v6 down 100+ tq and 25 hp.
Wedow
The Sport is not faster than the SHO stock to stock or mod to mod. Fastest 93 oct tuned Sports are in the mid 12s. fastest 93 oct tuned SHOs are in the low 12s. The SHO is down 30 ft/lbs, but has 40 more hp and the power comes on much sooner (350 ft/lbs at 1500-5500 rpm for the SHO compared to 380 ft/lbs at 3500-5500rpm). And, the 3.5l gains more from a tune as well. They're cool cars, but the gearing, torque management, and smaller displacement really hold it back compared to the SHO.
It would be awesome if Ford gave the Fusion Sport the ST treatment they're giving the formerly Edge Sport that has the same powertrain. I think a bump in power and an 8 speed (not to mention the better brakes and suspension) would do wonders for the FuSpo
Lol dude I just bought one of these yesterday! No way!
Can you review the Infiniti Q60 coupe?
Decided to watch this video after your live stream. I've never been in a Fusion or seen the interior. I wish Ford would bring back their sedans. I also came to this video to ask, why do fusion drivers drive like they were 15 minutes late to work 40 minutes ago and they are trying to make up time? They are almost as bad as nissan altima drivers. Good review though. I did chuckle a little bit when you were talking about SYNC 3 knowing how good SYNC 4(A) is (a little slow at times though).
No tachometer? What type of B.S. is that? C'mon Ford
they have one in the left lcd display. scroll though for two options of tachs
J30A4V6er it should be standard. that's lame.
it is standard. i meant that you can scroll through many options and a tach is one of them
J30A4V6er I know that, I watched the video. I'm saying that it should a real tech next to speedometer like every other car. Not some digital bullshit you have to scroll through menus to get to.
Ervin0310 gotcha. I don't disagree
Why didn't they put this on the mustang?
93 octane changes this car completely
i wonder how the maintenance cost would be with this =/
I miss your previous intro music
He is one of my favorite people who reviews cars. That said, I also know he is a major Ford fanboy. I agree with plenty of the things he raved about when it came to looks and some of the build quality. But that's where it ends for me, because that's what Ford sells you on, looks a little bit of cabin quality. Now that's fine for many people. A lot of people only keep their cars between 1 to 3 years and have the warranty to protect them. But there are many people that can't afford that. Many people make that investment and plan to get many years out of that car. My point is, if you put hard miles on you're car and you are looking to have this car for a long time, this will not be the car for you. My suggestion to people like that is to be smart and go with the Accord, Camry, Sonata. With those cars there, if you take care of the maintenance properly you will get a car that last a really long time. You will take a risk with a Fusion.
+Johnny Dwyer oh I definitely agree.
subaruwrxfan Don't get me wrong, I agree with you in many ways. Did not drive the new sport, but did drive my brothers 2015 titanium. Also have driven or rode in the Optima, Sonata, Accord, and Camry. Now not all of them were upper trim levels, but in comparison to what I did get to experience. The Fusion was probably my favorite to drive and be in.
What car enthusiast would buy a car with a "knob" for changing gears?
This car should have been the Taurus. What they call the Taurus now is just too big to be a SHO. However I hope they put the 3.5eco in it. That would be a nice pull.
I wish the sport had the cold seats
You should do the Ford fusion platinum 2.0 eco-boost. ????
I rented that car for 2 weeks. That was a great car. Everybody loved it.
Would you still consider this one of your favorite reviews? Also, would you still consider this car? I have a 15 fusion Ecoboost and I love it. It's charcoal gray with charcoal leather interior. Fully loaded. I kinda wanna get the sport as my next car.
I've driven every fusion model, and i own a sport. I can safely say that the sport is the best fusion that ford ever made. But if i was in your shoes, and maybe didnt need awd, id buy a kia stinger GT for around the same price. The fusion sport isnt a ton faster than a regular fusion, just quicker. But if you do decide to get a sport, i promise you that you wont regret it.
See if ford made this a Sti competitor would be cool imagine this with a manual trans
Auto manufacturers need to do more than put a more powerful engine in a car, slap a Sport badge on it and call it a day.
Are ford and Kia working together on their designs..?
No... Ford had had this design for years and it came from a completely different company
My fiesta SE is louder that that fusion sport. I still love that aggressive design 😍
Is it me or does the exhaust sound weird
Slowly this car is slowly gaining attention. Aldo the tune for this can out run a focus rs!! And 5.0. Look it up
Have you got a line on a Bolt tester yet?
No, I'd be curious to review one though.
It's a 2.7l it isn't going to have that instant torque lmao. Turbos make those peak number look glorious but it comes at a price of waiting for it to build (if you have a tiny engine)
Review an accord sport!
The opening music fits this car
what are auxiliary jacks used for
Plug your device in to stream music
Would have preferred to see the 400 hp Lincoln MKZ instead.
Wait til Cobb tunes this....
Is that faster than Subaru STI?
yes it is. Fusion 0-60: 5.1 STI: 5.3
What car would you reccomend for a first car? Looking for something small and sporty if possible.
Exort I'm thinking too. I like the BRZ
Exort Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T, Small, Sporty, RWD, and relatively speedy. Relatively cheap too, if you get a pre-2013 model.
BRZ/FR-S, Civic Si, and S2000 are my top picks for that criteria.
Exort GTI
Exort 1993 foxbody or a notchback with a v8 and a manual
Like if you wish they'd offer a Manual transmission Fusion.
damn 4000 something pounds for this thing my 13 Legacy with the 3.6 r and no sunroof is 3530!
your reviews are great but the music you use is cringe worthy
What type of music do you think would be more fitting?
Smooth jazz or death metal pls
I actually enjoyed the intro song. I listened to it twice. It reminded me of something.
smooth jazz or r&b would go great with the backroad moments hahaha
For this video I guess some Jazz Fusion would fit. Get it? Fusion? Never mind.
you should review a nissan gtr 2017 i love it
It’s a sedan too!!!!
