Stability control is now an option on all Ford Fusions for 2009, while traction control becomes standard on all V6-powered models. Other standard equipment includes the addition of ambient lighting on the SEL trim level, and satellite radio on all but the base Fusion. Four-cylinder SEL models get a five-speed automatic transmission. Also new is the Blue Suede Package that features special blue Alcantara interior accents.
- Roomy interior, athletic handling, smooth ride, available all-wheel drive, available Sync electronics interface, competitive price.

Sweet ride - 2009 Ford Fusion
By matt3319 - October 25 - 9:11 pmI have always enjoyed looking at the Fusion, mainly the SEL models. Now that Ford has slapped the sport appearance package on the SE its a sweet ride. I traded my 08 Tribute 2.3L for a 2.3L SE. What a difference with the same engine and a 5 speed auto makes. This car is so loaded and the rebates made it a no-brainer. I had X plan and a $3500 rebate. I bought a $23500 car for $17800. Vapor silver is so sleek looking with the 18" wheels. Mileage should be a better than 26mpg on my tribute. All my friends love the aggressive look. Honda, Toyota, Nissan and even the new Mazda6 just cant compare. Interested to see what the refreshened Fusion looks like, but the deals wont be as good!

Cheaper than 1995 - 2009 Ford Fusion
By Back to Cars - October 12 - 9:36 pmI was leasing a Dodge Dakota (14mpg). Made the decision to not get another pickup pretty easy. Had been watching the Ford Fusion for sometime. Reliability ratings are excellent, most reviews are above average, its somewhat an American vehicle, I think. When Ford announced the rebates of $3000 on Sept. 10, it made the decision very easy. A brand new Ford Fusion SE with sunroof and sync for around $16000 is simply amazing. I paid $18000 for a new Mazda MX-6 in 1994 with less features than today, obviously. I have the 5-speed, I4. I have always loved 5-speed cars, and this one is no exception. Very forgiving clutch, and the power is not bad. Very fun to drive. 26mpg ave. 60-hwy/40-city

Best Bang for you Buck! - 2009 Ford Fusion
By Yeah I got a Ford - October 1 - 2:54 pmI was and still am a little skeptical about buying a Ford but for the price you cannot beat its features. I got the Blue Suede Package and its really sharp looking. I wish the car had a little more power but nothing an intake and exhaust cannot fix. Overall I love it so far. Its slick and the sports tuned suspension is slick when handling corners.

Fun and Practical - 2009 Ford Fusion
By Tony W - September 30 - 6:33 amI was looking at the Altima because it was firmer than the base Fusion, but drove a "Sport Appearance Package" car with the tire and suspension upgrade. It has a much different feel. The manual transmission gives you control over the engine the automatic cant. It is a blast to drive and reminds me of a mid-80s Shelby Charger I used to have a long, long time ago, except this car has six airbags, room for 5, etc. Mileage is about 25 in mixed driving. My commutes to work and home are now much more fun.

Love This Car! - 2009 Ford Fusion
By carol G - September 25 - 2:01 pmI absolutely love my new car. The gas mileage is as good as most imports but yet you get the full size car. I have been averaging 28 city and 35 highway. Even with the 4 cyl I have plenty of power and acceleration. The only downside of this car is headroom. I have the sunroof and everybody in my family is over 6 feet tall and you have to have the seat adjusted down in order to not have your head touch the ceiling. I will never buy another car that does not have SYNC. That has to be the best thing ever put in a car.

Ford...who knew - 2009 Ford Fusion
By DDRI - September 23 - 7:14 amThis purchase was a hard one for us. We have had 2 cars over the past 20 years and both were Camrys. Of course we first test drove an 09 Camry and when we walked away we were not impressed. We then drove a slew of other mid-size sedans and last on our list was the Ford Fusion, all I can say is that it really should have been first. If you are considering this car test drive it first, you will not be disappointed. We bought the SE with auto and 4cyl for the MPG. Very smooth ride and plenty of power. Add in the Sync and you have a perfect car.

Best Ford Yet - 2009 Ford Fusion
By duds - September 21 - 8:49 amTest drove many cars before this purchase and the Fusion was the most comfortable and stable car for the money. Sync is the best in car innovation, all cars should come with this but you can only get this on Ford.

What a Shock - 2009 Ford Fusion
By John S - September 18 - 3:36 pmI switched out of a 2001 Ford Excursion into the 2009 Fusion. While I wanted to hate the "little" car, I have driven it for a few days and it is absolutely wonderful. The interior comforts are great and the exterior looks very nice. I linked by Blackberry to the SYNC and it works and sounds great. The car has good power, it is very comfortable, and other than the part about being significantly lower than the Excursion, I love this car.
