2009 Ford Fusion V6 SE 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A)
Review
I've owned my Fusion for over a month now and have 1,200 miles on it. Ride is nice and has a very responsive steering system. The trunk is large and the gas mileage has been decent @ 25mpg. The V6 has good power and the transmission shifts smoothly. The headrests are not comfortable and need to be redesigned, hopefully they got it right on the 2010 model. Overall, I am very happy with it and we chose it over the Camry, Accord and Sonata. It was a tough decision but so far so good.
Favorite Features
Body style and paint color (vapor smoke), interior comfort and performance
Suggested Improvements
Headrests are not good

2009 Ford Fusion I-4 SE 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)
Review
This is my 8th car, 2nd new car and first American made car. Initially I was elated with my purchase and glad that I decided to buy American. I drive 100 miles round trip 5 days a week. The drive home in my roomy and comfortable Fusion was something I looked forward. And I only have to buy gas twice a week. Fast forward 10 months,I just had to get a new transmission and I am going online later to find a condenser. The condenser issue really could have happened to anyone,(so they say)a little rock bounced into it . It is just annoying that it happened 3 days after the transmission was replaced. Now everyday I dread the ride to and from work, wondering what will go wrong next
Favorite Features
The 2009 Ford Fusion is a smooth roomy drive. I love the seats and the trunk space.
Suggested Improvements
Mesh cover of over the condenser. A different design for the head rest.

2009 Ford Fusion I-4 SEL 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5A)
Review
We purchased a 2009 SEL I4 in April to replace our minivan. My wife loves the size, maneuverability, and fuel economy. I rated the performance lower, but we did pick the I4 for fuel economy. Loads of room in the back for two growing 'tweens with plenty of leg room for me in the front. Anyway, Frannie (our name for our Fusion) took a direct hit centered on the driver and rear door. The airbags deployed, the B-pillar was crushed, the C-pillar and roof line were creased, and the doors look like used aluminum foil. However, my wife walked away with only some bruises from the seat belt, which she felt clamp down. We are currently shopping for a 2010 Fusion or its sibling, the Mercury Milan.
Favorite Features
Well built safety cage SYNC
Suggested Improvements
A more refined I4 engine with a little more pep and fuel economy. The 2010 model looks like a good start.

Review
Had my SEL for 3 weeks now. Its a a great car. I have the Blue Suede and moon and tune pkgs. The blue suede seats really dress up the interior of the car. The 18 inch aluminum rims gives the car a sporty exterior appearance too. Overall a solid car
Favorite Features
Sync, Blue Suede Pkg, Ambient lighting, 18 inch Rims
Suggested Improvements
Better fuel economy, also why would you paint aluminum rims

2009 Ford Fusion I-4 SE 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)
Review
Since 1999 My wife and I have owned 3 Honda Accords, 1 Toyota Camry and I can confidently say the Fusion is the most comfortable, best handling and performing of them all. I would not think twice to make this purchase again. Our other car is due for replacement next year and we will be closely looking at another Fusion as well as the new Taurus.
Favorite Features
Interior layout and SYNC system. Smooth shifting transmission and very quiet interior. Extremely comfortable ride, especially compared to our former 2007 Camry which I felt was harsh.
Suggested Improvements
I could do without the clear tail light lenses on our '09. But I see this was addressed in the 2010 model. Other than that cosmetic change all else is very well thought out.

2009 Ford Fusion I-4 SE 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)
Review
The quality of my 2009 Fusion has been extremely good so far. The ride is very nice and the performance is great. Fuel economy on my I4-SE has been slightly above what the sticker stated and I do not drive like my grandfather....although I use the cruise consistently. The more I drive this car, the more I like it. I know that sounds corny, but I drive a miriad of vehicles and the Fusion is my favorite. We looked at several other makes and actually decided on the Fusion because of price. After getting the car, driving it and feeling the quality of the ride, I am totally happy with the car. I think Ford hit a home run with the Fusion.
Favorite Features
I really like the phone sync system and I love the Moon Roof. I have it tilted up all the time...hot or cold.
Suggested Improvements
Only thing I wish my Fusion had was day time running lights....I have the I4-SE, so I turn my lights on manually for safety...I can live with that! I manually straightened the head rests when I got the car...did not like the angle. I presume the angle was for improved safety. OK, don't turn me in!!

2009 Ford Fusion V6 SEL 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A)
Review
I purchased my new Fusion in January after driving the Focus and I4 Fusion. I miss my Ranger but I love this car. I fell in love with the handling, interior design, great looks during the test drive.It has many nice features, including the heated seats ,that my wife loves, and the dashboard storage and sunglass compartments. I drive 75 miles round trip to work and I am averaging 27 MGH week in and week out. I love the way it handles. It hugs the road. The V6/six speed is very responsive and smooth shifting. For those of you who are considering a mid-size foreign car I highly recommend you test drive the Fusion before you decide. You won't be disappointed

2009 Ford Fusion V6 SE 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A)
Review
Bought as a daily driver to work and back. After 4000 miles it has become a great car to own. This car replaced my 1998 Taurus. With a V6 I average 29-30 miles to the gallon, if using 10% ethanol blended gas then 26-27. 0% for 72 and invoice pricing made it a great deal.
Favorite Features
Price, comfort, and ride quality.
Suggested Improvements
Headrest stink!!! Sync has some shortcomings also.
