Angle of rear doors and seat do not work well when trying to get in and out. Worse if using as family car and trying to get child in/out of car seat. see full Ford Fusion review |

Handles and drives well on both straights and curves, in both the city and on the highway. see full Ford Fusion review |

The V6 and 6-speed automatic are as close to perfect as you could imagine. The car seems to always be in the right gear and the right time. I think it can read my mind. see full Ford Fusion review |

The 3.0L V6 with Variable valve timing is nice to begin with. When you need that little extra passing power this engine roars to life! The drive line was designed purfectly with ZERO Torque Steer! see full Ford Fusion review |

For such a small engine that gets such good mileage, the Fusion has plenty of get up and go power. see full Ford Fusion review |

The V-6 is well supported by the aftermarket and responds well to modifications. see full Ford Fusion review |

Smooth, although would like a manual bump shift option. see full Ford Fusion review |

Great performance, 6 speed is much better than all the competitors transmissions we drove before we bought the Fusion. see full Ford Fusion review |

Not reliable. Main computer failed, leaving me stranded. see full Ford Fusion review |

When I test drove this car the sales man told me to floor it to feel the full performance... If there was any resemblance of performance it was the tachometer red lining and the car making lots of noise while getting no where fast. see full Ford Fusion review |

A little short on power but gets decent mileage in return. Definitely not a sporty 4-cylinder but gets above 30mpg on the highway. see full Ford Fusion review |

The reason I did not buy it was because it was not available with AWD at the time which we really need up on this hill in the winter. It is now available and this will probably our next car. see full Ford Fusion review |
