over the weekend to drive a 2010 Fusion. I forget the trim level, but it had the V-6. This was at the Ford Nationals in Carlisle PA. Now this was just driving around in a closed test course set up in a parking lot, so I wasn't able to really get a feel for how the car would go on any type of long distance. Still, for the few minutes I was in the car, I liked it a lot. Is the 2010 Fusion the same size inside as the previous models? I was under the impression that it was really just a facelift and improved drivetrain/interior, but I swear the 2010 felt a little roomier inside. Maybe they gave the front seat more fore/aft travel, a steeper recline, or something like that? I normally like bigger cars, and my current daily driver is a 2000 Intrepid base model. I could definitely see a Fusion being a decent replacement for it, when/if the time comes. Naturally I'd want to check it out more in-depth, but I like what I've seen so far. FWIW, I never had a problem with the interior of the previous Fusion. It wasn't mind-dazzling, but it wasn't cheap either. It seemed decent for the price point. But with the new one, I really liked the way the gauge display was set up. It had an expensive look to it, and even seemed a bit futuristic! From what little experience I've had with it so far, I like it better than the Malibu/Aura. And compared to the Stratus/Sebring, it's no comparison. I've always been a long-time Mopar fan, but they haven't really built anything that's grabbed me in awhile now, plus they seem to have been really cost-cutting on their interiors. I do like the Charger/300 in spite of the interiors, but want to try something a bit more economical. |

Replying to: andre1969 (Jun 10, 2009 8:48 am) ford has stepped up their game across several of their vehicles. we have an '04 escape with 200 hp duratec 3.0 v6 and 4 speed trans which has averaged 19.2 mpg over 74k miles. it is not a quiet vehicle to drive. my 07 fusion awd with a 221 hp duratec 3.0 v6 and 6 speed trans has averaged 22 mpg over 15k miles. my wife is now driving an 09 escape with a 240 hp duratec 3.0 v6 with 6 speed trans. after about 2k miles it is averaging 22.5 mpg. much quieter, also.

Hey all. Test drove Fusions this weekend, and we were really impressed. Kind of fell in love with the Sport. I was wondering though, since it has a different engine than the other Fusions, what we could expect as far as reliability goes? Is the engine in the Sport used anywhere else? Looked at the Fusion because of its high reliability marks, and just am wondering whether we'd be negating that by going with the different engine. Thanks for your thoughts!
