  • Its about time domestic - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    Tried the Fusion after my bad experience with my 04 GM SUV and also for better gas mileage. I was hesitant in purchasing used but was good value for the money. It had 59k on it but runs and feels like new. This is a gas saver with a full size ride and feel. I have cut my gas bill in half. So far the best used car I have ever purchased. Ford finally got one right. Dont be afraid to at least test drive one. Things are finally getting better for us die hard north american suporters. Remember build it and they will come. Thanks for restoring my faith in North American!

  • Great value/fun car - 2006 Ford Fusion

    This is the best Ford that I have ever owned as far as quality and satisfaction are concerned. We chose it over the 500 and Escape mainly for its tight feel and zip. I wish Ford offered a stick shift in the V6, I would have jumped all over that. The only negative I see is the analog clock in the middle of the dash. Oh well, great car!

  • Solid performer - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    Have driven many vehicles, get new cars frequently through Ford lease program. This is definitely one of the best I have driven. Good suspension, road holding, engine is responsive, steering is exceptional for a sub-$20k car. Engine is a little noisy, and the turning radius could still be tightened, but you will never think of that. Much better looks than other family sedans, inside and out. Trunk opening is wider than average, so the ample space is actually usable. First car/truck I have driven where the front seat could go too far back - recommended for the long-legged people among us (I am 6ft.).

  • Fun to drive, missing some key things - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    The 2006 Fusion is a solid car and fun to drive. Furthermore, it is really good on gas (I average 25-26 MPG mostly city driving, 32-33 MPG on the highway). I have yet to have a problem with it. Unlike other Fords I have had, it is built pretty well. The only thing I dont like about the way it drives is sometimes it feels like there is a second delay in when i hit the gas and it starts moving.

  • Poor gas mileage - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    Fun to drive, looks great, had lots of good comments on it. Was very road noisy on cement pavement. Tires really hum. Changed to Nito tires and much better. Gas mileage is terrible. 20MPG avg with most miles at speeds of 45 -55. Best I ever got was 24.6 on a trip all highway mileage. I do not pound the pedal so it is not driver abuse.

  • My Blue Fusion - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    I love the performance and handling, great pickup, almost shifts without noticing. The extras are another story, lumbar support broke at 5000 miles, sunroof leaks, brakes grab after letting off petal. Gas mileage is OK but not what stated. If you read the Fusion discussions you will see that there are many problems that need correcting. Overall I love the car but getting a little discouraged on something always going wrong. But 1st year out I guess I am one of the Beta Testers.

  • Best new car I have ever owned! - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    Ive only owned it about 3 weeks now. But have yet to find anything that I DONT like about it! Its an awesome car. Beautiful stylish family car. I actually had someone in a BMW at a red light next to me ask, "is that the new FORD FUSION"? He said, "awesome looking car"! I would recommend it HIGHLY!

  • Fun Car to drive - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    This is a stylish comfortable sport sedan. I started out to buy the 4 cylinder, but after a test drive of the V-6, I was convinced it was for me. I am very well pleased with the overall performance of the SE V-6. It has excellent acceleration. The optional abs braking is wonderful. The ride is extremely smooth adding to the comfort for driver and passengers. It is one of the most fun cars I have ever driven.

  • Glad to see Ford can produce good cars - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    I am overall extremely pleased with my car, but there were 2 features that really took some getting used too. First was the rear window - not a whole lot of viewing going on back there, and second Im about 510" and I had to do quite a bit of seat adjusting to not rub my head against the ceiling all the time. I replaced the stereo because there was no iPod hookup, but the stock speakers are great. My car is fully loaded, and I mean fully. I bought it with every feature they had listed and I got a killer deal. This car is HOT! and I am proud to be an owner. Did I mention its maroon or dark red; however you view it, its like butter!
