  • Great car thus far - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    Purchased a slightly used 2006, with 14k Pearl blue. SEL with standard trans. This is one odd one, sel with standard trans. This car has lots of power, handles great and gets awsome fuel, 32mpg at 77mph 26 in the city.

  • Great Car, Great Value - 2006 Ford Fusion

    I bought the SE V6 new. I wanted a used one freshly off of a lease, but none available. It was a gamble buying the first generation Fusion, but so far, I have had no major issues. Actually, this chassis does have a history, since it is based off of the Mazda 6, which is also a great car. The 220 hp V6 is powerful and responsive. I get 30 mpg driving mostly highway to work (I drive pretty conservative), which is great. The seats are comfortable and supportive for the front passengers. I have put 27,000 miles on this car in about a year (not very proud of that number) due to a long commute and weekend travel. So far, no codes pulled or mechanical issues. Interior trim could be better.

    I bought a 2006 Fusion with 12,000 miles on it, has all options except sunroof. This is the first car Ive bought in many years that my wife has fallen in love with. The appearance and comfort are unbelieveable. The V6 engine runs fantastic. We are in love with this car!

  • Great car with minor flaws - 2006 Ford Fusion

    Ive driven my Fusion over 20k miles and enjoy the car. However, recently I noticed that Im getting more and more paint chips and not just in the hood as expected by road debris. I have multiple chips in the hood, but also each door with no dings to suggest they were caused by a careless driver in a parking lot. Dont get me wrong, I really enjoy my car and getting 31 mpg is fantastic, but I want it to look as good as it performs and right now, thats just not the case.

  • About time Ford done something - 2006 Ford Fusion

    This car drives and handles like a dream. I bought this car for my wife and we fight over whos gonna drive. The gas mileage is great. It gets about 30 mpg.

  • Great car, even for first model year! - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    Beautiful car, fun to ride in and even better to drive. Black paint with chrome makes me feel like im driving something fancier than a Ford. When parked next to a Cadillac CTS, the only difference is the grill, lights, and emblem. Why pay the difference in price?

  • Fusion is Quiet and Stylish - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    Adequate performance & excellent handling. Stops on a dime. Quality of interior and exterior greatly improved compared to previous Ford products. Quick off the line if you smash the pedal to utilize the high gear. Midrange passing power is satisfactory but needs improving. Virtually no body lean when taking corners and the big tires on the SEL eat the pavement to satisfy its driver. Climate control on the SEL model is very quiet and the redundant climate and audio controls located on the steering is a ergonomic blessing. Suspension is superb giving you a rigid and quiet ride. Plenty of front and rear seat room and front seats are comfortable. Finally, headrests that are comfortable.

    Amazing ride. I recently purchased my Fusion and have been happy every since. I considered a Camry but after the test drive of the Fusion my mind was completely made up. The Fusion just simply out did the competition!

  • Best in class! - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    We bought a V6 SE at first then exchanged 2 days later for SEL I researched and found for around $900, which is nothing when buying a new car, you can step up to SEL which will give you 17" wheels, auto climate control with controls on steering wheel, foglamps, automatic headlights, puddle lamps, way nicer interior and dash trim, chrome accents, compass, auto dimming heated mirrors, and much much more. Car has amazing power, I find it hard not to speed on interstates without realizing it. Fit and finish are on par with any import car, very quiet ride and upscale materials used throughout. Styling really needs the foglamps to complete the look. You cant go wrong with this car.

  • Quite impressed - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    Ford has a huge winner on their hands. I cannot believe the great ride and build quality of this car. Very upscale looking interior with very well appointed materials. Very bold, tough styling go great with the quick performance and excellent ride quality and noise dampening. Absolutely HUGE rear seat room and trunk. I absolutely love this car, there are no compromises with this one. I have never been this satisfied with a new car.
