| Picked up our new 06 Fusion 4cyl SE last night. I am excited to own this car, and will report on our experiences soon. We wanted a reasonably priced family sedan, something roomy and built well and this seems to fit. We drove Camry's, Altima's, Accord's, and Malibu's, and found this to be the best at this moment, but like I tell everyone, ask me how I like it in 8 years. | |
This is my first brand new car. I should have looked around more. I only get about 17 mpg in town (small town). The turning radius is poor making it difficult to park in straight spaces without swinging out. It is hard to see out the back. The back seat belts in the back are very uncomfortable for an adult and rub your neck raw! (Feels like it anyway). Air vents in the back would help. Handles well when you really get going out on the highway. Hesitates when first taking off from a stop. H">ope to be happier with it in the long run. We will see.

I bought s brand new Milan and had it back in the hsop 3 times over a loud whining noise while driving 30 and over. I was patiently told it was a "characteristic" of the Milan. I replied that perhaps what they meant is that Mercury had made a mistake while building the Milan, but that there is NO characteristic noise acceptable in a brand new car. I asked them to check their hotlines. I was told that I was the only one hearing this characteristic noise. However, one very nice service desk guy called me a week later and told me that there was a fix for this so called characteristic whining noise, and he asked me to bring it in. Ford sent parts and they tied down my drive shaft. No more noises and the car runs like a dream. I was about to sell it back and tell them to KEEP IT! Don't take no for an answer. If they act like they don't know what you are talking about, have them call Joe Brodey at the service desk at Holman Lincoln Mercury in Maple Shade NJ. He was the only one at the service department who cared enough to look into it. I was so unhappy with the car, and I should have been thrilled. Now I am, although it does not get the milage estimated, not even close. Why do the car companies do that? Why not tell the truth, I probably would have bought it anyway!! |

I own an 06 SEL V6 in silver frost with just over 3,000 miles on the car. Dislikes: 1. Need locking gas cap or locking gas door 2. Rear view kind of hard to see out of, takes some getting used to. 3. No stability control Likes: 1. Handling 2. Interior quality 3. Whole car fit/finish/quality feel. 4. Styling - Get many looks and glares..  This is a drivers car. Feels great. Quiet, no rattles or squeaks. Average MPG is now 27.1. |

I've had my Fusion a little over a month now & I absolutely love it. It is black on the outside & in, which makes for the best part of the car - the color-contrasting thread in the leather seats. It is something you would not see in a Ford, which can explain all the looks you get when you are in the car! Grips the road great! Love the Michelins that come stock on it & the Audiophile Audio System.

Replying to: jsadka1 (Jul 20, 2006 8:35 pm) Remember what probley brought to the Ford Dealer and that is the fact the Fusion is a sharp looking car with good gas milage. Don't give up on it this quick, if you do then you should not buy car that is out for the first year. You should take your car to the dealer and have them check your gas problem. My wife drives 126 miles aday to work and 110 is hwy driving plus I do mostly town driving in it and we get 28 -31 per mile. PHIL |

Replying to: KarenS (Jul 18, 2006 7:02 am) *Vinyl wrap on the dash is wrinkled, and both the dealer and Ford Customer Relations say they will do NOTHING about it. Not even an "I'm sorry". Nice way to kill any repeat business if you ask me. *Doors have bumps and streaks in them. *Interior color match is horrible, and this is a black interior. *The plastic fog lamp bezels are showing signs of melting after only a few uses. *You can't see very well out the rear window when backing up. *Turning radius is not particularly tight. Other than that, it is fine.
