Not a wow kind of car.

2007 Ford Fusion V6 SEL 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Overall the car is just average. There is nothing amazing or fun or neat about the car. Seats are above average in terms of comfort. The car also has some decent visual appeal at first. However, the fuel economy stinks and the technology is outdated. Ford has improved on the reliability but still does not have great fit and finish. There are little rattles and weird clicking sounds. The engine flat out stinks. Needs dual vvti to help with power and gas consumption. Car also needs bigger output, possibly a 3.5 liter. If you are going to buy American Ford probably is your best bet but I only bought the car because I was on Ford's discount plan.

Favorite Features

Aux input for my iPod, analog clock, no crappy fake wood if you go with the black interior, and seats are relatively comfortable

Suggested Improvements

Needs a 3.5 liter engine, needs dual vvt or something to make it more efficient, better fit and finish, more available technology, better choices of wheels and colors, different grills for each Ford car, and to either pick sporty or refined because it lacks either

The AWD is great

2007 Ford Fusion V6 SEL 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Love the car ,bought it because of the AWD,car is very functionable and lot's of space ,comfortable to drive. Had a Lincoln LS before and the finish and quality is right up there. Really like the storage compartment in the dash and media controls on the steering wheel.Fold down passeneger seat makes it very easy for carrying longer items. The AWD is awesome, freeway mileage is 32 -35 mpg, city mileage as low as 16 mpg with mild driving. Installed rear back-up sensors (offered in 2008) as rear visability is poor. I would definitely recommend this. I would absolutely buy another one.

Favorite Features

Favorite feature is the is AWD, interior is roomy with ample storage, interior/exterior finish is excellent. Very quiet reliable ride. Six speed transmission is very smooth, glad I waited for 2007 for the 6 airbags. Good looking stylish car.

Suggested Improvements

Factory tires are to soft/cheap, really thought city mileage would be better. Poor visability out rear window .

2007 Ford Fusion I-4 SE 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I own this Fusion SE for more than 1 year. You can not complain a lot on this car, except the power seat: I don't use it every month. It has no problem from the day I bought it. I drive almost all local and I can get 28/26 during summer/winter season, which is same gas mileage as my wife's Focus SE. It is better than my colleague's new Accord. I love the sound system and use it everyday. The power features are very convenient. Compared to Focus, it is so quiet. The computer is also a great feature. Now I hope it can be 10 years problems free. Best wish Ford can gain reputation again and be "proud to be made in America"!

Favorite Features

6 disc CD / MP3 sound system; power features; very good fuel efficiency;

Suggested Improvements

The power seat is not necessary; the CD panel and interface can be better; front light and grille are not as good as Milan and MKZ;

Competes with Camry for cost of Corolla

2007 Ford Fusion I-4 SE 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)

Review

No car can match the features in the same price range. Very pleased. Consistently gets over 35 mpg hwy, 30 city. Best was 40.1 mpg on a trip of 280 miles, fully loaded! Most of car (60% +) is Mazda 6, platform, so this is no recycled Taurus. Very agile at 3100 lbs, brakes stop hard, and 4 banger has same acceleration as a 5 cyl Jetta. Seats are super comfortable, and trunk is large, equal to my midsize cougar. Best bang for the buck.

Favorite Features

Steering CD/radio controls, satellite inputs. Variable intake valving (plenum?), eliminates the sluggish HP curve at 1500-3000 rpm. Winds out good for 4 banger. Scotch guarded seats.

Suggested Improvements

Visors fall (bad clips), Instrument cluster creaks on cold days, annoying fake carbon fiber dash trim. Steering wheel grip is too large to be comfortable.

Review

I leased this car in January 2007. It had great gas mileage and is a very very good looking car in my opinion. There were only a few things I think should be changed. The 4 cylinder really lacks power, to the point it drove me crazy! The 6 cylinder would make it a wonderful car! The only problem I had was the brakes making a snapping sound, especially braking after backing up, I saw several different Fusions that had that problem. Other than that it was an awesome car. Very reliable and solid, I think Ford did a great job with this car overall.

Favorite Features

Great looks, awesome wheels, decent stereo, roomy trunk.

Suggested Improvements

Complete overhaul of the 4 cylinder engine- really lacks power, not too much more!

A new face for Ford?

2007 Ford Fusion I-4 SE 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)

Review

When we bought this car I wavered a bit because it is a Ford but man have they changed on this car! For a mid- size car can this car move, looks like a perfect hybrid of mid-size and sports car. My wife loves the exterior look of the car and the lights. I would buy the Ford Fusion again in a hearbeat.

Favorite Features

Exterior looks great! Drives great! Multiple MP3/CD player sounds great! Comfortable and manueverable!

Suggested Improvements

I wish we would have bought the V6 engine, and some of the other options.

Has a few blind spots on driver side and rear.

My Ford Fun-fusion

2007 Ford Fusion I-4 S 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)

Review

This is the first new car I ever had. Always used. When I get behind the wheel of my Tungston grey Fusion I feel as if I am a queen. The style turns heads and many folk have asked me about this car since I purchased it. If fact, I have converted a few who were loyal to another make, to buy a Fusion. I just took a trip to Conneticut and arrived feeling like I drove 2 miles to the grocery store. Needless to say I just love my Fusion and really do have fun driving it.

Favorite Features

Lumbar seat, ease of handling, style, peppiness ( those 4 cylinders relly move) Just love everything!

Suggested Improvements

None

Excellent Car at almost 50K!

2007 Ford Fusion V6 SEL 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I have owned my car now for 16 months. I have 49K miles and have had my first "issue". I have to have a tailight bulb replaced today! This is a fantastic car. When I drive conservatively I can get 30mpg on the expressway. My combined mileage with the V6 is 23mpg with a 50/50 mix of driving. No squeaks and rattles. No expensive dealer service. Oil changes every 6k miles with Mobile 1 and K&N oil filter. This is a great car. Sirius is great! Only nit to pick is that the AC/heat blower could be a little quieter. Seats are also very comfortable for long trips! Go drive a Ford! Oh and this is from a former Honda owner!

Favorite Features

Smooth V6. Solid fuel economy. Great seats. Solid upgraded factory stereo with Sirius, excellent build quality. Sharp styling.

Suggested Improvements

Quieter blower motor. Make 3.5 liter V-6 an option. Xenon headlights as an option.

Review

It was hard to believe that this car is a Ford. I have had some bad experience with Fords in the past and swore I would never buy one again. This car changed my mind completely!The quality is very impressive. People,this car is tough. !It's built solid and so far no built quality issues at all. Overall performance is good. The 4 cylinder engine is fantastic, but just a tiny bit too weak for this heavy car. I recommend you get the 5 speed manual. Transmission shifts nicely with no grinding at all. I average 25 mpg and my driving is almost all city. The car looks very nice and I get lots of compliments. The suspension is marvelous,handling is great,a very fun to drive car. I am very happy with my purchase!

Favorite Features

Superb reliablity! What a peace of mind it is to drive a durable car. Maroon color! Overall quality, low fuel consumption, styling. Practical, fun to drive, looks sharp, spacious and comfortable. 6 disc changer, auto climate control, rear legroom, Michelin Pilots as stock tires. No rattles, clunks, or squeaks.

Suggested Improvements

Engine is noisy, turning radius is very disappointing, aux input jack not standard, rear view mirror visibility, 4 cylinder is a bit too weak for weight of the car but not sluggish. Needs traction control, electronic stability, 6th gear. I hate the green gauge illumination, I wish it was blue instead.
