2011 | 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The front seats are very comfortable, and provide very adequate support for long trips. Side support isn't the very best for hard cornering though. see full Ford Fusion review |

All passengers have commented about the generous space and overall comfort of the rear seat. see full Ford Fusion review |

Controls are easily adjusted to fit any driver. Lateral support is good without feeling pinched into the seat. Dead pedal is perfectly positioned. see full Ford Fusion review |

The thing I like the most on the FFH is the powertrain and the great mix of performance and economy which it delivers. I had an acceleration contest from around 10 mph with a co-worker in his Lincoln MKZ and the Hybrid was ahead until 70 when I let off th see full Ford Fusion review |

I find the 3.0 Litre V6 to be a very quick and refined motor. Its powerful and its has a deep angry growl that I love. The 6 Spd select shift transmission is excellent, I love using the manual feature very handy. 240hp is more than enough power! see full Ford Fusion review |

The transmission in this car is a nightmare of unpredictability. It's very obvious that the machine itself is sound, but the electronic control and programming, as well as its adaptive features are a bit under-engineered. I've had the transmission controller re-flashed with the latest Ford has available for this transmission, but the improvements, while present, were very small. I hope that it doesn't affect its overall reliability, which sometimes feels questionable. see full Ford Fusion review |

Awkward shifting transmission in manual mode as well as auto, especially when going from 2d to third (tends to pop into neutral as the revs pick up in second, then jumps into third); too slow to shift between gears, too quick to select first gear. see full Ford Fusion review |

2011 | 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Ford upgraded the tires on the 2011 and later Fusion 17" wheels from the Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 tires once standard 2006-2010 to the newer Michelin Energy Saver A/S. The Energy Saver A/S tire is significantly quieter, much longer lasting (I've personally witnessed with proper care, able to attain 70,000 miles), and more adept at being an all season, low rolling resistance tire. However, while being significantly better than the Pilot, it's not one of Michelin's best offerings. I opted to replace the tires at 40k miles (with plenty of tread remaining) with a set of Michelin's Primacy MXM4. This, by FAR increases the car's wet traction abilities, including snowy and icy conditions. see full Ford Fusion review |
