2016 Fusion SE with tech package and 2.5 Engine. Read a lot of reviews on Fusion before buying. Looked at other cars, Hyundai, kia, Cheverolet and Nissian. Most reviewers said the 2.5 engine was under powered. Most so called pro reviwers have a lead foot. So I asked people who had one and everyone said, they have not had no problem with the 2.5 power. I also compared the 2.5 to my Escape SE with the 1.6 turbo and could only tell very little difference in power. So overall the Fusion SE with 2.5 is a great deal. Still do your research, and remember owners will always be your best source for an accurate reviews. People who do the reviews based upon a rental car, does not know the history of the car and how it has been treated. In summary, We love our Fusion SE and would buy another, if ever needed and would highly reccommened the Fusion with the 2.5 to everyone.

My 2016 1.5 liter Fusion SE was one of the best car's I've ever owned. After 62,000 miles without any maintenance problems, continued great gas mileage (around 38 highway on average over that many miles) and only some minor annoyance issues already mentioned in my previous reviews, last week I gave the '16 Fusion to my son and bought an '18 Fusion SE. I can only hope this one gives me the same worry-free ownership experience I enjoyed with the last one. ================== 2 Year/50,000 Update Got an email prompt from Edmunds to update my review so here goes: 2 Year/50,000 mile update. Still a great value. No further lug nut issues, still have the dash rattle but have learned to live with it (didn’t ask the dealer to try and isolate - at $84/hr). No maintenance issues, remains very dependable. I replaced the OEM Michelin A/S Energy Saver tires at 49,000 after some hydroplaning at highway speed but still had at least another 5K of good tread. I guess those tires live up to their design claim as I’m now getting about 3-4 mpg/gallon less with the new tires (down to “only” 34 - 36 hwy). Other than that I’m still very happy with my Fusion and my passengers continue to comment on the comfort of the interior and smoothness of the ride. Because of the high miles I drive annually (and because I get the Ford A/Z plan discount) I usually get a new car every 3 years but I just may hang onto my Fusion for an additional year or two especially since Ford’s decided to discontinue the model. As a side note for used car shoppers, I stopped in to check out the new 2018 models and learned the Fusion power plant/drivetrain was “tweaked” in 2017 and models after 2016 get a tad less EPA mpg than earlier models if gas economy is a primary concern. (And think twice about black leather interior. It looks nice and is easy to keep clean but it can get hot in the summer sun.) ========================== Original review: 2016 Fusion SE, 1.5 liter turbo, owned for 18 months and 44,000 miles. I won't repeat in detail what most reviews have addressed: The Fusion is a very nice care and a great value. It's comfortable, easy to maintain, and fuel efficient if driven conservatively -- I routinely get between 38-40 mpg @ 60 mph of state highway driving. There is a driver's side dash rattle that developed at about 40K point that I can't seem to isolate which is driving me a little nuts but overall I'm happy with my Fusion. HOWEVER, my main reason for this review is to highlight a problem many might not be aware of with the Fusion (and other Ford models) and that is the lousy lug nuts which can (and do) deform. Rather than use a solid steel lug nut Ford uses a steel core with a chrome or aluminum cap. With repeated removal (like when rotating your tires) the caps deform to the point where you cannot get the lug nut wrench (or a 19mm deep well socket) over the nut. If this happens and you get a flat out in the middle of nowhere, you're screwed. You won't be able to change the tire and will have to call for a tow. Ford blames people using an air gun and over torquing the nut. It also tends to happen when folks use a 12-point socket instead of a 6-point socket. But I always use a torque wrench and hand torque to Ford specs and it happened to me. Fortunately I discovered it while the vehicle was sitting in the drive and not on the shoulder of I-75 with a flat. My advice is to simply replace all of your lug nuts with one-piece nuts at your earliest convenience! You can get a set of 20 for about $30 and it's well worth the peace of mind. I went to three auto parts stores in my town (NAPA, Carquest, O'Reillys) and they were all aware of the Ford lug nut issue. In August 2017 a class-action lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan to make Ford own up and replace the nuts (google Ford swollen lug nuts).

Good somewhat basic Car

Got this car used with 60,000 miles. I have put about 25,000 more on it and still runs great. Hasn't needed anything major done to it. I purposely got a more baseline model so it has less stuff to go wrong. Its still got a decent amount of technology in it without costing thousands to fix. Headlights are a bit of a pain and most shops will drop the bumper to replace bulbs. Driving this car is great. It handle good for a midsize sedan. It does have a decent amount of body roll but will still hold the road just fine. The interior is awesome and fairly ergonomic. Having a go old fashion shifter is great. The dial shifters that came with later models is silly and shouldn't exist. If you live in areas with snow put GOOD all-season tires on it or it will drive terribly. I personally use Michelin defenders and they do great. Also be aware if you drive over speed bumps or have a curb going into your driveway. The front end is pretty low and will scrape easily. If you are a bigger person the seats can be uncomfortable after long periods of driving. The pros outweigh the cons in my opinion. Its a stylish car that's reliable and fun to drive. Used base model versions sell for a really good deal and will last a good long time with proper maintenance.

I've had this car a month and it has been an absolute dream. I traded in a 2014 Focus which turned out to be one the worst cars I have had. I was worried that this car would feel too big or too boring coming from the Focus. That has turned out to not be the case. This car is very comfortable and the quality of materials is outstanding. Soft touch areas surround the cabin and there are lots of little details that make the interior feel luxurious. The exterior is very sporty, especially with the SE Appearance Package. My car is also equipped with the SE Technology Package which I have to say is a must have. The sound system is amazing and the entertainment system is easy to use and is intuitive. The touch sensitive screen can be a bit laggy but it's nothing that bothers me too much. My car has the 1.5L EcoBoost engine. This car has a lot of power. I have noticed that the fuel economy is less than what the sticker states, which I knew about before choosing the Fusion. I am getting 22 mpg with mostly city driving, so it's not too bad. I would definitely recommend the Fusion! I have been impressed thus far and do not regret my decision.
