Overview & Reviews

The 2008 Ford Fusion gains a number of standard and optional features. Among the former are antilock brakes for all trims and a keyless-entry keypad for the SEL version. New options include a reverse parking sensor, the late availability of the Ford "Sync" system (which integrates devices such as cell phones and MP3 players into the vehicle's controls), upgraded interior ambient lighting (also late availability) and a Sport Appearance package that adds 18-inch wheels, a sport-tuned suspension and special interior and exterior trim.

• Roomy interior, athletic handling, smooth ride, available all-wheel drive, competitive price.

• Engines are down on power and refinement, stability control not available, some mediocre interior plastics.

  Fusion = Fun, Function, & Style - 2008 Ford Fusion
  By Tom Reece - May 16 - 3:53 pm

  Glad I happened to stop by the Ford dealer after shopping the usual far- east candidates. The Fusions design, quality, and finish and on par with the competition and a quantum leap from my wifes 04 Mustang. 4-cyl motor and five speed auto trans are a good combination with decent power (25 mpg), and are smoother and quieter than the powertrain of my 06 Honda Element. The chassis delivers a combination of great ride and sharp handling. Highway speeds are quiet, and the sound system delivers subtle symphony notes to my 50 year-old ears at 70 mph! Styling is classy and distinctive-I really like just looking at it! Price plus incentives make the Fusion by far the best value in the segment.

  Fusion SEL AWD - More car for your $ - 2008 Ford Fusion
  By D. Amsler - April 16 - 6:23 pm

  Bought an 08 Fusion SEL AWD recently to replace an 05 Focus that met its maker as a result of a red light runner. Though I walked away with only a few bumps & bruises, after seeing the aftermath in the light of day, I decided then and there that I wanted a larger car for my next one. Wanted to stay with Ford as the Fords Ive owned in the past have never given me issues so the Fusion was the logical choice as a "step up" Went with the AWD model because the weather up here in Canada tends to vary widely and in Canada only the SEL trim has the AWD option.

  Great Commuter Car! - 2008 Ford Fusion
  By Chris - March 7 - 2:53 am

  Had a very bad experience with a Hyundai, traded it in for this Fusion. 4 cyl, 5 speed auto, black on black cloth. The car rides extremely well, offers a controlled but supple ride. The engine has enough grunt to get you from point a to b, I bought it as a commuter car and mileage was my primary concern, so Im pleased with my 25 mpg city and 30+ highway. High quality cloth seats, my only gripe is that the door panels dont feel sturdy. Just hoping it wasnt a complete lemon like my Hyundai was.
