2010 Ford Fusion User Reviews

Purchased As Not Purchased

I rented a Fusion last week and I have to admit I liked it except for 2 qualities. 1. I couldn't get in with out hitting my head. I'm 6'2''. 2. mpg, the car claimed that I was getting 32 mpg in town and up to 40 mpg on the road. I don't think so.

Pros

Excellent value, reliability, drivability, and looks

Cons

squeaky driver seat, HVAC/stereo controls are cluttered

Purchased As New

This has been a great car for 3,000 miles, but had to get drivetrain computer reprogrammed to adjust the shift points, as the RPMs were spiking between shifts and 1-2 shift was harsh. Now that it's been updated, I don't have any serious complaints, I think this will be a very reliable vehicle. Fusion was about $4-5k more expensive than other midsize vehicles I looked at, but I don't regret buying this one. Also, would recommend looking at the new 2010 Taurus if you're interested in this vehicle....read morehide

Pros

Styling and great performance, love that hands free SYNC, Quiet, and Smooth

Cons

Not one

Purchased As New

This car is amazing! I love the sync. I basically tell the car what to do and it does it. The look is great and I get a lot of compliments on it. The ride is very smooth especially driving on Michigan roads. The handling is great especially around the pot holes. This car picks up and goes. The leather seats are comfortable front and back. I love it! I read a few reviews that are confusing. The one about the transmission issues that person must not know how to drive a car or take care of it. I have ?raced? my car and haven?t had a problem yet. This transmission is outstanding. I come from a family that builds and works on cars so, I know a lot about cars and this transmission is outstanding. Another review said they struck their head on roof and struggle to exit and there only 5?? 5?! I?m 5? 8?? and have tons of head room and have struck my head yet and never had a struggle to exit. I drove an SUV for 8 year and switching to a car from an SUV is different getting in and out. Another one was the buttons on bottom of the climate panel are a little hard to see. Is this person blind? Seriously! I am very happy with my purchase. This car is worth the money and is made to last....read morehide

Pros

superb driver and excellent winter small SUV replacement

Cons

feels a bit heavy due to the AWD but worth it

Purchased As New

this is an update to my first reaction to our Fusion. we have the 2009 SEL V6 with AWD and both of us (wife and I) are extra happy with it. we have driven through 1 very snowy winter so far and this car, with winter tires Blizzaks on all wheels, 'climbs ice cubes'. our mileage varies between 19 in town and 29 on the highway-interestate. i find it hard to believe steady high speed driving with the transmission and AWD can really get that mileage, but ours has done so many times. we have taken numerous long trips with this car and the comfort is very high. the seats are much better than my Mercury Mariner and are the regular cloth velour material. on the road, this car is extremely stable which i attribute to the Mazda6 chassis design which Ford uses, and the AWD. again, very happy with this car, no problems, and the cherry red color is my wifes fav. if Ford asked me if i will buy another, i'd say yes and get their new and very interesting Fusion Hybrid which seems a mileage monster.i'd like to test drive one when the local dealer has it in stock....read morehide

Pros

Excellent fit, finish, ride, handling, styling and great performance for a 4cyl.

Cons

Haven't found any yet.

What a great car from Ford. Maybe I'm a bit biased being a Ford owner for many years, but this is one fine car. My wife has a 2007 Camry and always wants to drive the Fusion. There is no comparison between the 2 cars, Ford wins hands down. Her car sounds like she has a typewriter under the hood, you can barely hear the engine on the Fusion. She has been won over by Ford ... and I believe most people that drive this car will be, too.


This is the first 4cyl I've purchased in years, but am not disappointed. Test drove both the 6cyl SEL and 6cyl Sport and while they were fast cars, decided to go for fuel economy this time around. 35 MPG on a recent 275 mile trip mostly @ 75mph. Averages around 26 in the city.


Sync technology is great, Sony sound is fantastic. Tell Sync to change a radio station, it will. Tell it to make a phone call, it will. Tell it your destination and it'll take you there. With the Navigation system you can even watch a DVD Movie while car is parked and/or listen to the sound when driving. (There is a hack to get around that, but not ready to tinker with it just yet). USB port for your I-pod/MP3, even an internal hard drive if you want to download songs to the "Jukebox".


Comfortable seating, dual climate, heated seats, sun roof, large truck, plenty of back seat room, the pluses goes on and on with a list price right around $28,000. I discover a new feature every day (really need to read the manual). Did you know you can just click the key to the start position and release it and the car will start. No need to hold it. Discovered that by accident when my fingers slipped from the key.


Great engine and trans. The 2.5L is a big improvement over the older 2.3L in the pre-2010 Fusions. No 4cyl vibration that is so common with the smaller engines. Smooth shifts, plenty of power in mid-range to merge or pass. Not going to squeal the tires off the line, but not going to be left in the dust either. This car is really fun to drive. Have the SEL package with the large tires/wheels and it handles extremely well. Steering tight and responsive.


If you're looking for a great car, you have to consider the 2010 Fusion. Like I said I've owned Fords for many years and have been extremely pleased (ran them all over 200,000 miles with minimal, if any repairs), but this car is over the top. Keep up the great work Ford. Thanks for not grabbing any of our money to bail yourself out. Keep building cars like this and your future will be insured....read morehide

Pros

Nice ride, comfortable interior, looks sporty, reasonably priced, good gas milage.

Cons

TO get best perfornace use high octane no ethenol gas

Purchased As New

My car has surged a few times when I put in gear. Guess its' the trasmission? I will ck when I go in for 3,000 mile ck up.
A couple of time when I started the car it shook like a wet horse. Called the service guy and he said it was probably fuel not getting where it needed to be soon enoug. It has not happened again since I started using the high octane/no ethenol.

Also had problems with syncing my LG VU phone. Had to reset factory settings to get it to work....read morehide

Pros

great value for the moey

Cons

I can't htink of one

Purchased As New

The 2010 Fusion Sport drives and handles like a European sports car. I was very impressed with everything from the ride to even the seats. After coming out of a BMW, I was surprised by the responsiveness and handling for almost half the money I had spent. Great job!

Pros

Great fuel economy, love that hands free SYNC, great new redesign, fantastic value

Cons

Some of the INFO panel buttons are hard to access

Purchased As New

I am achieving 33 MPG commuting to work ... more than I expected. The redesign in the front and back are impressive. The hands free SYNC allows me to make and receive phone calls more easily than I had anticipated. I really like the one touch close on the window and moon roof too .. I know a little thing ... but it adds up. The 2-layer storage in the elbow rest was a great idea ... with the top compartment just right for my wallet. The little slide tray to the left of my steering wheel is great for my spare keys. The interior is great too. The buttons on bottom of the climate panel are a little hard to see / access as are the buttons to the INFO panel to the left of the driver. But I can definitely live with that. Oh ... and a more than adequate trunk ... lots of room....read morehide

Pros

Sport package equals outstanding handling, I-4 good performance balanced with great fuel milage.

Cons

None

Purchased As New

Great vehicle, Medai system and Micro Soft Sync is fantastic.
I have driven many performance vehicles and can honestly say this vehicle with the sport package and the 18inch wheels with the Goodyear Eagle tires will handle anything the average driver can
put it through. Buy a Corvette if you want better handling.
Plenty of room in back seat for me and I am a big guy.
Lots of available aftermarket accessories to pimp or add performance to your Fusion. I love this car, it does everything a
hard driving guy like me could ask and still deliver great MPG....read morehide

Pros

After trade in good price, lots of options

Cons

Hiiden tranmission issue be very cautious on this one

Purchased As New

I test drove a couple different models and had to return it because the tranmission failed after only 100 mile. Traded up to this model and same issue after 3 months. Be very careful when looking at this vehicle!!
