I purchased this car about four months ago. I upgraded from a compact car, and I absolutely love it! There are far more "pros" than "cons"! This car is so spacious, but it does not drive like it! Both front seats are electric so it's easy for anyone to move to allow space for all passengers. The drive is so smooth. The turn radius is still small like a compact car. Sometimes when you get into bigger vehicles, they become harder to control. That is not so with this one! The radio, air conditioning system, navigation, and sync system that works with your smartphone are phenomenal. They can all be controlled from the steering wheel. This is so helpful for the driver. It's all right where you need it to be, and it's easy to understand and navigate. The notification system really gets your attention if something is wrong. The beeps come through the speakers of the sound system. Even if you are listening to music or talking on the sync system, the beeps will be heard to alert you to anything that could be potentially dangerous. The biggest problem I have with this car is the amount of time it takes everything to "wake up" when you first crank the car. It takes a full minute for the air conditioning, radio, and lights to come on. At night, it would be far more helpful for the lights to immediately come on, and in the heat of Texas summer, that extra minute of extreme heat is very uncomfortable. I have two dogs that each weigh 50 pounds. This car is spacious enough for both of them to stand, sit, or lay comfortably for long trips. This is especially important during the holidays when there is a lot of traveling and hauling merchandise to and from home. Overall, this car is a great fit for me and my family.

The Ford Fusion is a comfortable car. It comes with many standard options. Although it is more expensive than its competition, you get a lot for your money. Satellite radio is standard. A seven speed automatic gear box is also standard. There are many input connections for phones and other devices. The gas mileage is good. There is plenty of power from the V6. There is ample leg room. That is true for both the front and the backseats. The trunk is average size for a midsize car. It is styled similar to many other cars in its class. So far the Ford Fusion has been very reliable. The acceleration is surprisingly good as well. The transmission does get a little confused at times. This happens at lower speeds and in heavy traffic. You can link your cell phone with this, but is more annoying than helpful. If you are listening to the radio, a phone call will come over the speakers and can be annoying while driving. This could also be dangerous as there is non easy way to ignore a call using the stereo or steering wheel controls. The easiest way to ignore a call is using your cell phone itself. This can be distracting while driving. It can also cause you to miss part of any radio program or song you are listening to. I would recommend the Ford Fusion, just do not link your cell phone via Bluetooth.

What more do you expect from Ford? Been around for the past century and still on the market. Ford's experience brings Ford owners the best experience they will get when they drive. Look good in your Ford, treat your Ford like a Ford and be there for your Ford.
