  • They should have done better - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    Styling aside, it seems like an earnest attempt by Ford to build a solid and practical car for comfortable urban driving. Unfortunately, they are not paying attention to the fine points that their competition thrives on such as exterior finish and attention to detail -- points that have been the downfall of most domestic manufacturers since the imports started eroding their market share. Call it sloppiness or inattention, the car has obvious defects easily seen by any sighted person. Picked a new Fusion SEL two weeks ago with bad paint on the hood, an obviously deformed interior door handle, and misfit or misaligned exterior parts.

    I bought my Fusion five months ago and wanted to wait until I had it for awhile before giving a review. I have 15000 miles on it and have had no problems with my Fusion. I think Ford has built a capable car to compete with other midsized cars in its price range. The V6 engine is acceptable for the size and weight of the car. I average about 28 mpg. I have been driving long distances mostly highway and the ride is very comfortable.

  • TOP NOTCH! - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    The Fusion has been a great car. It is fun to drive, comfortable, and gets great gas mileage. I recently went on a business trip and averaged 36 mpg! The Fusion has been trouble free with only routine oil/filter changes and inspections. The looks great in and out and is an outstanding vehicle to drive in everyday.

  • missing its mark - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    This car is not equipped as good as a lot of other cars, no outside temp, no mist on the wipers, lots of plastic inside, very cheap. The fabric on the seat - everything sticks to it. If my dealer would have been sure this is the car I wanted, instead of just a sale, maybe the SEL was the one I needed. Looking around for a good deal to trade it off, will not buy another Ford. Power is Ok. Its mine, I bought it, will drive till I get a good deal on a new car. Selling factor was 72 months at 0%. Just to let you all know, this is my 25th new car,and the only one I am not happy with, not all bad but a bad choice for me, at $22,000 lots of better choices out there,

  • Cant believe its a Ford! - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    I traded in my Audi A6 when the warranty was up on it. So, ok, I downgraded a little...but by how much? NOT much. I love this car. I bought the SEL V6 loaded. Its hot looking, more than peppy, great lines, nice interior, and it has so many features built in I cant believe its a Ford! I only wish it had the Homelink for my garage and an optional sport shift (I have the Automatic) . The car is clean, more room than my Audi had, great gas mileage, FLEX FUEL, not premium, mp3 leather, etc. Handles nice, I am very happy. Until you sit in it, drive it, and look at it, you wouldnt have thought Ford could do it. But when you drive it and do those things...you will buy it. I love it!

  • Unexpected Choice - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    Although I have driven just over a thousand miles, I am very impressed with the Fusion. Its quiet, comfortable, and fun to drive. The V6 with six speed automatic always seems to be in the right gear and the leather seats fit me better than either the Accord EX or Camry. The driving position is great with good forward visibility - unfortunately, vision to the rear is not as good due to the high decklid which adds to the trunk volume and probably improves aerodynamics. Steering is superb with no kickback; its difficult to tell its FWD. I started out to buy a Honda Accord EX but ended up with the Fusion - its that good.

    It is so fun to drive and is very comfortable. I love the Fusion, its my favorite car Ive had it years. Its like a sports car with room for my family. The V6 has a lot more pickup than the I4 which was kind of slow off the start. I love it!

  • Love the Fusion - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    I traded an 03 Mustang for my Fusion, and I am very happy I made the decision. I love all the interior room, the look of the exterior; all around I love the car. At first when I bought the car I only planned on keeping the car until the bumper to bumper warranty was up but I have already changed my mind. I am going to keep it or trade it in for a newer model. Only thing bad I have to say is the view out the rear window.

  • A Breath of Fresh Air From Ford - 2006 Ford Fusion
    By -

    This car knocked my wife off her feet for the look and she had no brand preference while we were shopping. This review comes from her husband - a long time Ford owner. We purchased the 4 cylinder, 5 speed automatic which came out later in 2006. We love the vehicle! It is definitely an eye-catcher. It drives as well as any competitor car of the 5 others we drove. The front grill is the seller and the slick interior is awesome. Good engine pickup and stop handling, very tight turning and huge truck space. Pop down seats in the rear with arm/beverage holder a plus. This car drove as good or in some cases, better than any of the competitors. Overall, we are very pleased.
