My wife and I rented the 2019 Ford Fusion and drove over 5,300 miles from California to Illinois and back. This Titanium AWD had every option and here are my unprofessional thoughts.
I’ve owned a Ford fusion and it does not have a flimsy sound when you close the doors at all. You’re not closing the door your slamming it hard. And as far as the capless fuel system I’ve never had any dirt built up underneath my cap less fuel area
Me and my ex got one of these, 2019, s model, blue with black rims..had 17 miles on it. Pretty good car. She's gone and so is the car, but I'd rather her pay the 400 dollars a month than me..I'm good with my used avalon 🤟😂
Austin Murray I feel pretty dumb not knowing that “ecoboost” was a turbo but live and learn I suppose. I still didn’t like the lag and wasn’t impressed with the AWD. I’m glad about the dial because it freaked me out the whole time.
Kaleem new AWD Camry, any Lexus GS350-460 AWD from 2007-2012 (less expensive than the fusion with more power and exceptional reliability) , any Subaru, and probably a few others.
So many people being rude when you're just giving your honest opinion. As if they were forced to watch this video instead of having clicked on it themselves.
Haha! I get it though, they probably like the car and if I don’t have only good things to say their feelings get hurt. Honestly, I liked it and if there was no Lexus or Toyota I would definitely own one.
The part at the beginning, when you mash the gas, the turbo (small as it is) still needs a second or two to spool up. That's the lack of throttle response you are speaking of. Most people don't realize that you cannot drive a "turbo" car the way you do a naturally aspirated vehicle.
@@alfredlyon27 Yup, nothing a tune can't fix though, my 2018 titanium was real sluggish, tune helped it a lot, now I have to be extra gentle when pushing the gas, turbo lag is still there though, nothing you can really do but think way ahead.
Turbo lag; I got rid of it by changing the exhaust and resonators to allow greater flow and it sounds like a v6. I have the 2.0 and it’s deceptively fast!! However the problems you have, I don’t have with mine.. Why were you slamming the doors? 😂 My car is at 50k miles and there are no signs of age on the interior (I maintain it frequently)
First of all, this was a rental car so any problems aren’t mine. Secondly, I slammed them because all car doors get slammed occasionally, usually by guests. The main reason why I slam car doors on these reviews is to compare them to all of the Lexuses that I own and have owned. They are all ten years or older and when you slam the doors you get a nice thud and never the sound you heard from this car. We both are of average weight and there should not have been that much stretch in the seats.
Alfred Lyon I see. However when I close my doors I usually get the nice thud. It appears that the car has been brutally treated before you reviewed it, which is unfortunate because you didn’t get to experience what it would be like to get it straight from the lot
ADarkShadow that’s kind of my point. I take build quality into consideration when purchasing a vehicle. Please don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the car. I think a lot of times when I do reviews I’m kind of playing the devil’s advocate.
There is nothing wrong with the seats. With the heated seats the leather is not flushed down. That’s how my mustang is and the other cars I checked before buying, it’s weird
Yes, and since then in other cars I noticed that once I put my seatbelt on the seat moves to its last location so my short legs can reach the brake pedal.
T Rishel while it’s true that highway miles are not bad on a car there are few reasons why I don’t take my own car on these trips. Five thousand miles in two weeks is a lot of wear and tear on a car. The tires , shocks, oil, and brakes just for starters. Also, the bugs and road debris ruins the front end and the hood. Lastly, the interior gets pretty dirty as much as we try not to. The salt from the salt flats for instance will never come all of the way out of the carpets.
I slam every door and most of my cars have 300k miles on them. Go to any Lexus and give it a good slam. You probably won’t get any rattle. I wasn’t necessarily complaining as much as making note of it. If it was my car I would probably not slam it based on the fact that it rattles.

He really does throw the doors shut though

Absolutely, Toyota FTW!
@@alfredlyon27 🤟🤟🤟
The lag is turbo lag. The AWD is real. Shifter won’t shift out of drive unless brake pedal is depressed and car’s stopped.

@@alfredlyon27 As far as I know the Ford Fusion is the best AWD sedan in its class. If you can name a better AWD car I'd like to know.

I love this Car though, my family used to rent one after our 2015 Focus broke down. It was awesome.

sheryl_lori ellingson that makes sense . I didn’t even know that “ecoboost” was a turbo . It’s a pretty weak one then 🤣

@@webhito what tune did you use?
@@woody7155 I went with a tune from Unleashed.
I rented one for the holidays I loved it
I like how it moves Back I have this car I got 3 weeks ago n I’m in love
speakers nor their wires get hot just for future knowledge.

I have the same engine. What exhaust did you choose?
There is nothing wrong with the seats. With the heated seats the leather is not flushed down. That’s how my mustang is and the other cars I checked before buying, it’s weird
why does everyone have the ambient light option and I don’t
check your oil first thing in the morning let it sit over night to get an accurate reading
It hurts me when you slam those doors! 😫😫
Great and honest review. Tanx a lot
The seat doesn’t go all the way back it moves literally two inches.
Also, only the back doors sound like that for some reason, not sure why. The front doors are way better, thanks Ford 😅
Yes, and since then in other cars I noticed that once I put my seatbelt on the seat moves to its last location so my short legs can reach the brake pedal.
Real nit picky
I agree. I’ve owned this car for three years and I love this car n
Thank you really helpful video sir.
Nothing even happens when you bump it while driving
Probably the start and stop feature?? Delayed take off...IDK 🙂
This one didn’t have that. I found out it was turbo lag.
@@alfredlyon27 Thanks for sharing sir!
Please make video on ANCA machine with step editor - profile
Dear Alfred.., please make video on step editor
Better off with the 365hp awd fusion
Can see why you don’t drive your Lexus.

flimsy sound ? dude you slammed the door , not closed it ..if any of your car doors mess up you’d know why

He complains too much
He is a Hater especially comparing if to a Lexus come on now...
You’re absolutely right! I really should have listened to the video before I posted it. As bad as it was, it was my honest opinion.
@@MadmaxMusic93 yes, but a Lexus that is eleven years older that this Fusion.
Nice review
Моя мечта.
What a whiner
Absolutely!
Air conditioner
Horrible review please stop
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
