  • Hate My Fusion - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    This car is not what I was told when I bought it. If you have kids, buy another car. The price is great, but the cup holder built into the seat with cloth velour seats is crazy. I was told by the dealer to just buy seat covers. Well, guess what, there were none available anywhere for about one year. Then my car has no adequate storage inside, because it has a lot of "little" compartments, but none large enough to actually store something in, especially the glove compartment. I have owned a Ford since 1999 (SUVs) but with the cost of gas. I hate my car. The inside doors cannot be cleaned when dirtied by a seven year old. he bottom rides too low, its too long, etc. Wipers stink.

    Boring family car. Little road feel and doesnt have enough power. Key competitors have safety items like side curtain airbags and stability assist as standard equipment but these are options or not available on the Fusion. Is it built to last? The warranty is only 3 years with only 5 years rust through protection.

  • First Ford in Decades - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    We just purchased our Fusion SEL V6 last night. What a blast to drive - the number of stares we are receiving was totally unexpected. We thought it was a nice looking car but didnt think so many others would agree as well. We havent pressed it too hard (yet) but we know it can fly. What we are enjoying is the quiet ride and tight suspension. We test drove a Camry LE V6 and SE V6 and thought it OK but not great. The Fusion we thought was by far a better ride. I hope Ford has turned the corner and continues to build solid cars.

    I traded in my Ford 2005 Taurus for the 2006 Ford Fusion SE. This car is the bomb to drive. Im extremely please with the drive ability, fuel savings, etc. I rate this affordable vehicle as "Outstanding".

  • Blast Off With Fusion - 2006 Ford Fusion

    The Fusion is so much fun to drive you cant believe it! The handling is excellent. The acceleration is mind bending...what a "blast"! Total package is perfect for many different driving segments.

  • Should have shopped around more. - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    I have owned this car for almost a month. I have been very disappointed. In town, I am only getting about 17mpg. On a recent vacation, we got up to 22 by the monitor, but we figured more like 27. When I first take off from a complete stop, there is some hesitation. The rear seat belts are very uncomfortable for an adult. The turning radius is not very good and makes it hard to get into a straight parking space. If I could, I would return it...this is my first new car. I wish I had shopped around more. Needs a digital clock. When the radio is off, its just a dark space. Plastic looks cheap.

  • Comfortable and Fun to Drive! - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    We purchased this car Memorial Day and took a 1300 mile round trip 5 days later to the Smoky Mountains. We are well pleased with the way it handles with its very sporty and decisive steering. Our fuel economy was 30 mpg on the highway, and 23 in the city. Rear seating is excellent for two adults, even for long trips. There is low wind noise and light road noise.

  • The Next Generation of Sedan for Ford - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    Being a imported car fan (VW owner) , I am quite pleased with the specs and overall feel of the V6 SEL Sedan. I think Ford just hit a new peek. Looking forward to seeing what theyve done to better this already great car in the 2008 autoshow.

  • Great car after all bugs removed - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    I love this car, but its taken a while to get all the bugs out. Four malfunctions after purchase. Ford repaired all and dealerships could not have been nicer. Serpentine belt screetching and it took over a year and a half for third dealership to finally find and solve problem. Overall, great car. I love driving it. Handles beautifully on the road. Gets over 30 miles to the gallon on long trips close to 30 around town. Im pleased. Its a 4 cylinder, and I have plenty of power.
