Just picked up a 2014 Fusion SE with 8k miles at $19,500 with 1.9% APR in Maryland. I absolutely love it. It has a tremendous amount of room and great trunk space. Even the base model feels refined and not cheap.
I got a 2020, im at 2000 miles but its nice.The handling is very good, best in its class - above average as many have said ! Plus the ride is smooth.I have the 2.5 liter ( no turbo which i prefer ).Actually the 2.5 is a mazda engine, and so is the platform !
Great review! I drive the 1.5L EB and was surprised about the useable power. I also found the ride quality to be SUPERIOR to most cars in this segment. The front passenger seat could use height adjustment, but the default height setting has worked for my wife and I. Great car!! My wife has a '13 Optima and if I ever get up late for work, the keys to my fusion will definitely be missing!
Absolutely love my 2015 Ford Fusion SE luxury. Smooth quick-ass 2.0 Ecoboost turbo with lots of power. Sharp looking car with Alpine speaker upgrade.👌👍Fords premium sound system rocks!!! Love all the comments, thanks all. Cheers!!!!!
Had my Fusion Titanium for almost 2 months. I really liked it at the dealership, love it now. Great looking, inside is a nice looking quality interior and theres plenty of power for the everyday driver. Not sure why people are down on the My Ford Touch? It took all of 30 seconds to learn and the response time is very fast. The back seat room could be better but its just me and the wife, so not our problem. I didn't buy the car for fuel economy, wouldn't buy something I didn't like just to save 3 dollars every fill up. My other 2 choices were the Mazda 6 or the Accord. I really like the 6 but the Accord is just a blah car, nothing to it.
Just bought one a few days ago. I have no problems with it. Drives smooth. Now I know what the S means on the stick shift. Duh. You live and you learn.
Sport mode shifts later (a good thing for speed) and it stays in the gear you were in when you let off on the gas pedal which gives you some gentle low gear deceleration. All of this is great for windy roads. The rocker shifter on the gear shift is better than the paddles on the steering wheel. The paddles become useless in the turns because you can't get to them.
I have a 2014 Fusion SE with the 1.5 ecoboost engine and I love it! I've put almost 30,000 miles on it in 2 years and have had nothing done to it but oil changes. I have found that my car gets the best fuel economy with 87 octane gas with out ethanol. Ethanol seems to really rob this engine of it's MPG's. Once a month I have to make a 600 mile round trip journey to my Army Reserve Center and I average 36 MPG per trip. I usually get around 40 MPG on the interstate at 72 MPH. In the city it drops to 34. I can get almost 600 miles out of a tank of gas. Driving against the wind and in extreme cold seems to lower the mileage. This car is also very comfortable. I can sit in it for almost 5 hours with out stopping and my back and knees are fine. Any other car I've had, I'd almost be crawling out of it after spending that much time in it and that includes the Buick La Cross I traded for this car. I've owned probably 10 cars in my life and this one is the best!
I test drove the se with the 1.5L eco boost and I really don't know what you mean by turbo lag. To me the car had plenty of power and sounded great. You also mention that you only got 23mpg. If you did most all city that's pretty much right on par. The combined is 28 mpg that's city and highway.
Nice review! I like these cars a lot. You might want to mention that people only have to PAIR their phone once initially. People like my Mom would think that they had to do it every time based on this. I know that's minutia, but it would help some people.
Why they didn't offer a liftback(hatchback but it looks like a sedan) in the US market is beyond me. Same trunk space, but it's way more usable, you can chuck 2 mtb's in the back of one of these cars with the seats down and a liftback.
Does milage improve when using premium fuel? DI engines can run happily on regular fuel, but efficiency can suffer. I've read and heard many complaints about the MPG on these engines but no one says what octane they are using.
I am about to be able to start driving and my parents gave me a $30,000 budget to spend on a car. I want the Ford Fusion or the Mazda 6. Which do you think I should get?
Duarte Castelo Branco Ford engines are not as efficient as other manufacturers, like VW, for some reason. Possibly the small turbo's-meant to reduce lag and boost torque-cause it to work too hard at higher revs.
Things that this guy told WRONG The 1.5l ecoboost engine produces 177 ft pounds @ 1500 rpm whereas the 1.6 produced 184 ft pound @ 1900 rpm, that means the 1.5 spools turbo faster and lag is less, full turbo boosts up by 2000 rpm in 1.5 and 2500 rpm in 1.6, so 1.5 is way way better engine than 1.6, its more refined as well Another thing is low fuel economy of this car is due to weight, Fusion is the heaviest car in its class, gross weight is same as a Ford Edge v6,its that heavily built like a tank,so it cant pull that much weight without burning xtra fuel Also the seats being low, this reviewer is telling blunder, sure if there was option for height adjust it would have been fine, but according to cars dynamics a person will be more comfortable when hs/hr ass is as low as possible and when center of gravity gets low as possible car will stay more planted and more stable as well,this guy sits in car like he is siting in an SUV, he deserves an SUV not a sedan
Autobytel I ve driven the car and the turbo spools @ 1500 rpm and full boost comes at around 2000 rp, if turbo kicks in @ 4350 rpm then wahts the use of a turbo at first place, maybe the turbo zone extends between 1500-4350 rpm plateu, but I am dead sure it spools up turbo pretty quickly and by 2000 rpm 1 can feel the torque
n777ua prove me wrong, i have driven almost all turbo entries in segment and the engine/transmission combination with least lagg comes from VAG cars,second is ford and most of the cars have turbos spooling as low as 1500 rpn but by 2000 rpm only they get full boost and by that rpm only one can feel the torque whereas in VAG engines one will feel the torque as low as 1750 rpm
I have a 2014 Fusion with the 2.0-Liter EcoBoost engine, i.e., the bigger one than the one in this review. In 3,000 miles, the overwhelming majority of which was local driving, I have managed 27.4 MPG (those are US gallons for our UK pals). That was achieved by having a feather foot. That's all you need with an engine this powerful. If you give into the temptation to have a lot of fun and stomp on that awesome turbo, your mileage will suffer greatly. That shouldn't be at all surprising. But the 2.0 has the power when and where you need it. This car is a rocket. It scared me during the test drive but now I have it purring like a kitten.
Volkswagens 1.8 liter turbo gets the advertised fuel economy with the stated performance without a name like "ecoboost"...I think the Ford motor needs to provide the meat of its power at lower rpms, like vw, to improve fuel economy
Yup, all praise for that damn awesome DSG gearbox,that and the ZF transmission are the worlds best transmissions that has 0 transmission loss,cuz gearshifts at lightning quick speed and it has the ability to downshift and up shift quicker and does that with better judgement, that makes all the difference Also Fusion with 1.5 ecoboost is as heavy as a 1.8 TSi with DSG Passat in gross weight, so it dosent get the advertised economy nor power
jandj Godwin Got a question? VW 1.8 transmission by ZF or Toyota. My 1.8t sticker said transmission from Japan. Engine is from Mexico. Final assemble in TN, USA.
Kevin Yeh Ford USA the VWs speed transmission is made from and imported from Japan and assembled in Mexico, cuz Dul clutch was creating problems with lot of customers and since its xpensive they 2k the cheap part, Japanese part, the transmission is a regular torque converter the VW Passat with DSG still has the best of both worlds unlike Jetta
jandj Godwin 6 speed is made by ZF even made in Japan. I could not find any information from website since US Passat is different from Europe. 6 speed is really better than CVT transmission.
i just bought 2014 fusion 2.0 transmission little jerk forward between 20-30mph ,i dont know is that normal ? anyone has similar issue? otherwise car is great
***** My Passat needs to fix the rear power door switch only 4000 miles. Ford Fusion 1.5 Ecoboost looks awesome but not sure AC is excellent. My 05 Ford Five Hundred has AC problems since new.
***** I just went to dealer to do warranty repair. There are total 4 people with warranty repair in their 2013 and 14 Passat. One person with transmission noisy when back up. 2009 maybe different. 2009 is import from Europe. Current model build in USA.
I think Ecoboost is better than Hyundai or VW Turbo in performance. Sonata 2.0T has 245 hp but too slow with 0-60 8.3 second. If not consider mpg and budget, 2.0 Ecoboost is an excellent choice.
He mentions the EPA mileage ratings not being achieved. I get close to EPA mileage ratings when I don't dip into the throttle too much or do not idle (like in the winter). Do either of those 2 things and nope, you will not get the rated mileage. That is almost with any car though.
Thats bullshit, Drive in a Major city with traffic. These turbo engines suck up gas at light to light driving. I drove like a Grandpa at first and watched the gas estimate, then drove as I usually drive. The difference was 1 MPG, not me, its the lights on every corner. My old lexus got better mileage and it was a big V6, its the turbos.
Keith Dionne Not true per say. It's the inner city driving that sucks gas with the big V6 engines, they use so much fuel just idling, whereas the more efficient turbo engines use less. On the highway it's more equal. A crappy engine by Ford is the problem here, not the basic small turbo engine concept.
This guy seems to be grasping at straws for his complaints. The trunk thing handle, does anyone close it like that? What about riding with the front passenger seat all the way back? Touch screen with finger prints? Welcome to the 21st century.
+Miguel Velez Vlogs I'm thinking of getting one I have to drive on the freeway everyday (only for 3 miles) would it be ok for that? I don't need a crap ton of power but I also don't want a Nissan versa
Well there is a substitute for displacement, but anyway. The problem these days is that these turbo engines are not expensive per say, it's just that mfg's have gotten incredibly good at building decent NA engines incredibly cheaply.
deceiving Engine and not fir for purpose In Europe our 2.0L engines with almost 220 Hp get the same MPG as this crap 1.5 as result we have to pay the same gas guzzler Tax in this 1.5 engine duo to Extremely poor MPG
Just add some Alpine 6-1/2" component with the tweets. Fords radios have enough power for some clean sound in your ride. Friends thought I had a sub and amp inside.
ive got the ford fusion 2.0 deisel and i get 45-55 mpg in the city and 70-80 mpg on the highway ,why in the hell would anyone want to buy a 1.5 and get 23mpg wtf
Where are the diesel engines? Every car company is selling awesome diesels in Europe and Asia, here we get jack s&^%. If this was a diesel, it would get 50 to 60 miles a gallon. In Europe, their gas cost about 1.5 times of US, but their mpg is almost double, in some cases triple the US's. We are getting screwed here.
no one cares about your opinion of what you believe is good or not. just review the car for what it is. everyone is different and will not see the car the way you do or how you believe to be good or not. seriously stop telling people what you like or don't about the car but just review it for what the car is. so annoying to see all these people reviewing the car complaining what they like or dont like.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines 'review' as "a critical evaluation" (Review). Possible synonyms include critique, examen, and to criticize (Review). Knowing this, you should be aware that any review (or any good review) is going to show the bias of the examiner and what they feel "to be good or not." How do you expect them to "review it for what the car is" without "complaining (about) what they like or dont like"? If the parts you don't like were to be removed, the review would be as follows: "It's a Nissan Altima. It's red. It has a steering wheel, seats, and four wheels. It also has a trunk and a radio." Why would you want that? Works Cited "Review Synonyms, Review Antonyms." Merriam-Webster. Merriam-Webster, n.d. Web. 22 Mar. 2017.
I really don't understand why this guy sits so high in his cars. He's almost hitting his head just sitting normal. And you wife must be a midget because this car's seating position is fine. My ford touch on the other hand...
This 1.5 Turbo Ford Engine is one of the Worst Engines ever made In Europe This 1.5 Petrol Engine has such a catastrophic MPG it has to pay a gas guzzler Tax as a VW with 220HP
The 1.5/1.6T micro small sized engines are just more smoke and mirrors that perform well on a machine but fall flat in the real world to meet the government's stupid 35.5 MPG CAFE standard. My 300 HP 2013 V6 Impala gets 23-24 combined MPG and will blow this weak turd into the weeds!
I drove one of these cars for about a week and HATED it. I usually drive a fusion sport V6 which I love. This car was terrible though. There were times, when you accelerated slowly, it like jumped when it shifted. It was not a comfortable car to be in. The center console is just weird. Especially the bottom of it. It's also a 4 cylinder vehicle. There was literally no power to the car. You had to force the thing to go. The gas mileage is no where near 47 mpg or whatever they say. I tested out the mpg on the highway and got 27 going at a constant speed of 60. In the city, it only got like 17. It also took me forever, every time I got in the car, to set up my phone to listen to music. The settings are all screwed up compared to the older fusions. Not only that, but that sound system was the WORST sound system I've ever heard. My brother has a 97 integra, stock sound system that sounds better than that. I turned it up one time to test the sound, from then on the speakers cracked even when it was barely turned up. There was only literally one thing I enjoyed about this car, the seats heated up in 1-2 minutes. If you're on the shorter side, I'm only 5'3, this isn't a car for you either. You can't see anything. That's probably why the seat moves back when you shut the car off because you had to be so damn far up, lol. I'm not 'dissing' ford considering, the only cars I've driven in the past 5 years are fusions, I'm just saying that this car is not their best. Other than that, I would never recommend this car to anyone.
I love this car. Never thought I would own a Ford but so far so good with this car😀
Any problems with the car?
Finally, one review mentioned real life fuel efficiency!
Just picked up a 2014 Fusion SE with 8k miles at $19,500 with 1.9% APR in Maryland. I absolutely love it. It has a tremendous amount of room and great trunk space. Even the base model feels refined and not cheap.
How is it holding up?
@BERT I ended up getting mine and it is still running :) I really need to change the air and oil filters though lol what happens if I don’t?
@BERT They make it past 200k miles?
I rented a 2012 Fusion for 4 months when I moved cross country and LOVE IT! Will definitely look into purchasing one!
I got a 2020, im at 2000 miles but its nice.The handling is very good, best in its class - above average as many have said ! Plus the ride is smooth.I have the 2.5 liter ( no turbo which i prefer ).Actually the 2.5 is a mazda engine, and so is the platform !
Make that background jingle ILLEGAL!
i did test drive today.
i understand what do mean about the passenger seat :)
Ford needs to do something about that, seriously
Great review! I drive the 1.5L EB and was surprised about the useable power. I also found the ride quality to be SUPERIOR to most cars in this segment. The front passenger seat could use height adjustment, but the default height setting has worked for my wife and I. Great car!!

My other 2 choices were the Mazda 6 or the Accord. I really like the 6 but the Accord is just a blah car, nothing to it.
LEGION OF
Maserati granturismo + mitsubishi lancer + aston martin + jaguar xf = this fine piece of art
Yofef lol maybe lancer and Aston Martin in the most hallarious display ever

My mother has exact same year make and model left her stranded three times she used to take trip to Tennessee but she don't no more

I love ford fusion
I love cum and cumming
... lmao
Why they didn't offer a liftback(hatchback but it looks like a sedan) in the US market is beyond me. Same trunk space, but it's way more usable, you can chuck 2 mtb's in the back of one of these cars with the seats down and a liftback.
Good car I told my mom about it and now she is going to get it 28,00 not that bad at all thank you jandj you helpd me and my mom out thank you
I can get 22 driving very conservatively in a mercury grand marquis geared with 2.73s.
I have a 2015 Fusion SE with !.5 EcoBoost, the passenger seat is power and you are able to move it up and down.
Raymond Adams how is the fusion doing?
Nathan Arredondo Sold it in 2018 but never had a problem.
How many miles did you rack up? Thanks for responding btw
Nathan Arredondo No problem. I think around 27k. It was a very nice car.
I have a 2011 Sport and LOVE it
me an my fiance has a 2014 ford fusion SE an it's a 2.5 4 cylinder an we had it up to 110mph
I have a 2015 ford fusion se had fast 120mph love the ride
great review!
Looking for my first “new” car and this one looks great! He said he was tall and I’m about 6’4”, hoping it’ll fit me!
How is it. Im 6'3 so im also looking at how it will fit.
@@mohammadtayyab456 sorry brother, I’m going for an f-150 now, I imagine you’ll fit in the fusion though
Sport mode just shifts later or allows the driver to shift it with the button on the shifter. Sport mode also decreases fuel economy.
I bought the 2016. In sport mode, it behaves more like a V6. But uses more gas. I can tell mine has electric steering.
Another great review thanks
Give this guy a Kenmore or whirlpool and I'm sure he would kill the review.
Does milage improve when using premium fuel? DI engines can run happily on regular fuel, but efficiency can suffer. I've read and heard many complaints about the MPG on these engines but no one says what octane they are using.
I have the avenger v6 29 mpg 0-60 in 6 secs. For way less money and better warrenty and options
I am about to be able to start driving and my parents gave me a $30,000 budget to spend on a car. I want the Ford Fusion or the Mazda 6. Which do you think I should get?
what did u get 😭🙏
It's not an issue with Ford vehicles. It's an issue with all vehicles with Turbocharged engines. They don't get the marked fuel economy.
Some do, but the issue is how testing is done and how calculations are worked out by the EPA. These typically favour small turbo engines.
turbo engines are very economical when driven very carefully but very sensitive to driver inputs, push it a bit harder and economy drops immensely
Duarte Castelo Branco
Ford engines are not as efficient as other manufacturers, like VW, for some reason. Possibly the small turbo's-meant to reduce lag and boost torque-cause it to work too hard at higher revs.
He's completely wrong. 2015-2016 Fusions SE and up come standard with height adjustment on both seats and the 2013 and 14s have it on the Titaniums.
incase you didn't notice, this was filmed in 2014. so....
Lmao robert before you try and prove people wrong make sure you are right...
Things that this guy told WRONG
The 1.5l ecoboost engine produces 177 ft pounds @ 1500 rpm whereas the 1.6 produced 184 ft pound @ 1900 rpm, that means the 1.5 spools turbo faster and lag is less, full turbo boosts up by 2000 rpm in 1.5 and 2500 rpm in 1.6, so 1.5 is way way better engine than 1.6, its more refined as well
Another thing is low fuel economy of this car is due to weight, Fusion is the heaviest car in its class, gross weight is same as a Ford Edge v6,its that heavily built like a tank,so it cant pull that much weight without burning xtra fuel
Also the seats being low, this reviewer is telling blunder, sure if there was option for height adjust it would have been fine, but according to cars dynamics a person will be more comfortable when hs/hr ass is as low as possible and when center of gravity gets low as possible car will stay more planted and more stable as well,this guy sits in car like he is siting in an SUV, he deserves an SUV not a sedan
jandj Godwin the Ford website says the 1.5L Ti-VCT GTDI I-4 EcoBoost makes 181 HP @ 6,000 and 185 TQ @ 4,320
Autobytel I ve driven the car and the turbo spools @ 1500 rpm and full boost comes at around 2000 rp, if turbo kicks in @ 4350 rpm then wahts the use of a turbo at first place, maybe the turbo zone extends between 1500-4350 rpm plateu, but I am dead sure it spools up turbo pretty quickly and by 2000 rpm 1 can feel the torque
You have no idea what you're talking about, you're so wrong about the RPM range figures.
n777ua prove me wrong, i have driven almost all turbo entries in segment and the engine/transmission combination with least lagg comes from VAG cars,second is ford and most of the cars have turbos spooling as low as 1500 rpn but by 2000 rpm only they get full boost and by that rpm only one can feel the torque whereas in VAG engines one will feel the torque as low as 1750 rpm
jandj Godwin engine too small
2.0 turbo , or 2.5.
the 2.5 is anvil tough. a 1.5 turbo in a 3400 pound car, dont see it wearing well.
we will see
Have a 2014 fusion se 2.5 Whats the vs 1.4?
I saw 23.4 MPG at 4:46 of the video, I am shocked !!!
I am confused among those cars. Which one do you guys recommend? Ford fusion, kia optima, Chevy Malibu, Honda accord, Nissan Altima, or the Mazda 6?
I have the same car but it’s a 2017. I get about 33 MPG but nearly all of my driving is on the interstate.
I have a 2014 Fusion with the 2.0-Liter EcoBoost engine, i.e., the bigger one than the one in this review. In 3,000 miles, the overwhelming majority of which was local driving, I have managed 27.4 MPG (those are US gallons for our UK pals).
That was achieved by having a feather foot. That's all you need with an engine this powerful. If you give into the temptation to have a lot of fun and stomp on that awesome turbo, your mileage will suffer greatly. That shouldn't be at all surprising.
But the 2.0 has the power when and where you need it. This car is a rocket. It scared me during the test drive but now I have it purring like a kitten.
What's the more reliable engine the 1.5L eco-boost or the 2.0L eco-boost ?
Does it save a lot of gas?
does the 2017 fusion have passenger height adjustment?
Volkswagens 1.8 liter turbo gets the advertised fuel economy with the stated performance without a name like "ecoboost"...I think the Ford motor needs to provide the meat of its power at lower rpms, like vw, to improve fuel economy

jandj Godwin
6 speed is made by ZF even made in Japan. I could not find any information from website since US Passat is different from Europe. 6 speed is really better than CVT transmission.
Kevin Yeh I dont think its made by ZF, ZF is a German company
Are you really complaining about the passenger seat lacking a height adjustment? How often does a midsize sedan offer that?!
Evan Ganske then buy a Malibu I'll take the fusion.
Earl Kovacs II Have fun with the EcoBust Engine..
I test drove it. It does a great job.
Earl Kovacs II The Ecotec 2.5i is a much better engine. Not to mention that the turbo will go at 150K miles..
Evan Ganske I lease so I'll never see 150k
i just bought 2014 fusion 2.0 transmission little jerk forward between 20-30mph ,i dont know is that normal ? anyone has similar issue? otherwise car is great
When is this car coming to Malaysia...
What is the difference between Passat 1.8t with Fusion 1.5 Ecoboost in driving?
Which one is much better?
The Passat is larger, and the 1.8t feels slightly stronger and will get you better mpg. If it were my money, I'd go for the Passat.
***** My Passat needs to fix the rear power door switch only 4000 miles.
Ford Fusion 1.5 Ecoboost looks awesome but not sure AC is excellent. My 05 Ford Five Hundred has AC problems since new.
If you can swing the extra $2000 for the TDI you'll love it, my 2009 is 198,000 problem free miles.
*****
I just went to dealer to do warranty repair. There are total 4 people with warranty repair in their 2013 and 14 Passat. One person with transmission noisy when back up. 2009 maybe different. 2009 is import from Europe. Current model build in USA.
I think Ecoboost is better than Hyundai or VW Turbo in performance. Sonata 2.0T has 245 hp but too slow with 0-60 8.3 second. If not consider mpg and budget, 2.0 Ecoboost is an excellent choice.
You're the best
He mentions the EPA mileage ratings not being achieved. I get close to EPA mileage ratings when I don't dip into the throttle too much or do not idle (like in the winter). Do either of those 2 things and nope, you will not get the rated mileage. That is almost with any car though.
Damn I never use it, didn’t think it was sport mode lol
Id only get the tituniam because you can NOT get they sony speakers in lesser Fusions
If you are not getting good mpg on this vehicle, its because you have bad driving habits, like this guy does.
Thats bullshit, Drive in a Major city with traffic. These turbo engines suck up gas at light to light driving. I drove like a Grandpa at first and watched the gas estimate, then drove as I usually drive. The difference was 1 MPG, not me, its the lights on every corner. My old lexus got better mileage and it was a big V6, its the turbos.

On the highway it's more equal. A crappy engine by Ford is the problem here, not the basic small turbo engine concept.
I love mine
Lysa Cazares how is it now
Is 126000kms too much on this car if I have to buy an used one??
That is quite a lot for how old it is
The passenger seats are normally low and dont put the seat all the ways back. I literally wanted to slap him.
u arent slapping shit bitch
This guy seems to be grasping at straws for his complaints. The trunk thing handle, does anyone close it like that? What about riding with the front passenger seat all the way back? Touch screen with finger prints? Welcome to the 21st century.
If he would just stick to appliances I'm sure he could be a great reviewer.
Looks like Shaq in a Buick! Needs more space!
23mpg? My 2004 Taurus 3.0 DOHC with 215k miles gets 26-27 consistently. Maybe I should stick with it!
1.5 is a small engine for a mid size sedan
NIYAZ NAZAR It has a lot of power being an EcoBoost. I have one (Fusion SE EcoBoost) works great.
Miguel Velez but it comes under the mid size class, right?
+Miguel Velez Vlogs I'm thinking of getting one I have to drive on the freeway everyday (only for 3 miles) would it be ok for that? I don't need a crap ton of power but I also don't want a Nissan versa
@@Miguevel Is 126,000kms too many on this car to buy a second hand one?
I just came from a 3.7L jeep. I just bough this car last week and it's still over half on gas.
Beerrunner81 Has it blown the head gasket yet?
The complexity and expense of a turbo for the same mileage and power as a V6? No thanks, no substitute for displacement
Well there is a substitute for displacement, but anyway. The problem these days is that these turbo engines are not expensive per say, it's just that mfg's have gotten incredibly good at building decent NA engines incredibly cheaply.
deceiving Engine and not fir for purpose
In Europe our 2.0L engines with almost 220 Hp get the same MPG as this crap 1.5 as result we have to pay the same gas guzzler Tax in this 1.5 engine duo to Extremely poor MPG
How is the sound system is these? I love to blast my music
Just add some Alpine 6-1/2" component with the tweets. Fords radios have enough power for some clean sound in your ride. Friends thought I had a sub and amp inside.
1.5L is too small for a car that size, thats why I went with the 2.0ecoboost titanium
That's only an opinion. Cars of the past had much bigger engines in heavier cars than this with less power than this 1.5.
The passenger seat really needs height adjustment. I just rode in the seat for 3 hours, and it was comfortable, but it was wayyyyy to low
atb102798 How tall are you?
***** 5 foot 8
+atb102798 Some people do prefer the low seat type because it feels more comfortable for them.
ive got the ford fusion 2.0 deisel and i get 45-55 mpg in the city and 70-80 mpg on the highway ,why in the hell would anyone want to buy a 1.5 and get 23mpg wtf
kingbullykutta I don't think they sell it in America...
Not sure what kind of idiot closes a trunk that way. You're gauranteed an injury sooner or later.
🤣👌
What a nincompoop!!
Wish there wasn't any cheesy music.
You look uncomfortable to me I'm a tall lady and I wont want to fit like that but to each his own
Am I the only one who is upset that car reviewers think people want to see their unattractive faces during the whole test drive😷
Khamisi Thorpe lmao you can’t talk you’re ugly too
back seat is sxxt.
better buy a V6 2014 Accord.
The AC not cool enough
Abdulrhman.khaled123 Najdi You don't get a car depending on how 'cool' the AC vents are...
Ugh, the hood stick degrades the car.
I love it. No hood struts to replace, ever.
Не, это уже не форд.

sexy car.
Where are the diesel engines? Every car company is selling awesome diesels in Europe and Asia, here we get jack s&^%. If this was a diesel, it would get 50 to 60 miles a gallon. In Europe, their gas cost about 1.5 times of US, but their mpg is almost double, in some cases triple the US's. We are getting screwed here.
no one cares about your opinion of what you believe is good or not. just review the car for what it is. everyone is different and will not see the car the way you do or how you believe to be good or not. seriously stop telling people what you like or don't about the car but just review it for what the car is. so annoying to see all these people reviewing the car complaining what they like or dont like.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines 'review' as "a critical evaluation" (Review). Possible synonyms include critique, examen, and to criticize (Review). Knowing this, you should be aware that any review (or any good review) is going to show the bias of the examiner and what they feel "to be good or not." How do you expect them to "review it for what the car is" without "complaining (about) what they like or dont like"? If the parts you don't like were to be removed, the review would be as follows: "It's a Nissan Altima. It's red. It has a steering wheel, seats, and four wheels. It also has a trunk and a radio." Why would you want that?

johnpark219 Yeah bud I know this comment is old, but hey dumbass, that's what a review is.
Yes, let's talk about the cargo net. Bad review
I really don't understand why this guy sits so high in his cars. He's almost hitting his head just sitting normal. And you wife must be a midget because this car's seating position is fine. My ford touch on the other hand...
Well its a tall car I rented o
a 2016 and 2017 the seat are up high my 2015 Chevy Malibu the seats are low big difference
This 1.5 Turbo Ford Engine is one of the Worst Engines ever made
In Europe This 1.5 Petrol Engine has such a catastrophic MPG it has to pay a gas guzzler Tax as a VW with 220HP
Complete waste of time putting this much tech into an engine that still get awful fuel economy.
This car...........vs BMW M5 V10? LOL Bmw will obviously win
Am I the only one who likes the old design better?
Yes you probably are!!
SomniumStrife yo también
The old design has a more sporty look to it. I may be wrong
The 1.5/1.6T micro small sized engines are just more smoke and mirrors that perform well on a machine but fall flat in the real world to meet the government's stupid 35.5 MPG CAFE standard. My 300 HP 2013 V6 Impala gets 23-24 combined MPG and will blow this weak turd into the weeds!
CHEAP RIP OFF FROM ASTON GRILL.
Those ecobost are garbage.from 2024
Wrong they ditched the 1.6 because it was a piece of shit
There's something sexy about him!
I drove one of these cars for about a week and HATED it. I usually drive a fusion sport V6 which I love. This car was terrible though. There were times, when you accelerated slowly, it like jumped when it shifted. It was not a comfortable car to be in. The center console is just weird. Especially the bottom of it. It's also a 4 cylinder vehicle. There was literally no power to the car. You had to force the thing to go. The gas mileage is no where near 47 mpg or whatever they say. I tested out the mpg on the highway and got 27 going at a constant speed of 60. In the city, it only got like 17. It also took me forever, every time I got in the car, to set up my phone to listen to music. The settings are all screwed up compared to the older fusions. Not only that, but that sound system was the WORST sound system I've ever heard. My brother has a 97 integra, stock sound system that sounds better than that. I turned it up one time to test the sound, from then on the speakers cracked even when it was barely turned up. There was only literally one thing I enjoyed about this car, the seats heated up in 1-2 minutes. If you're on the shorter side, I'm only 5'3, this isn't a car for you either. You can't see anything. That's probably why the seat moves back when you shut the car off because you had to be so damn far up, lol. I'm not 'dissing' ford considering, the only cars I've driven in the past 5 years are fusions, I'm just saying that this car is not their best. Other than that, I would never recommend this car to anyone.
