Anyone here own/lease a Fusion?

Last I checked, the 6 cylinder isn't offered in a 5 speed.

I think Danny (Wytstang) on here has one (or actually his wife has one). He might have some feedback for you.

Good luck.

I'm curious if anyone here owns/leases a Fusion. I've taken a liking to these cars. It seems to be a decent car according to some other websites and after talking to a couple Ford technicians. I was just curious here if any of you guys have one as a daily driver and what you paid or what your payments are?

No Recalls, its the best product launch that ford has ever had. My buddy has one and they are great cars, nice ride and good looks.

I haven't seen any major national recalls either on the Fusion or it's brethern. It is a great car for Ford

I visited the Ford technical asstistance hotline a week ago and they told me that there really havent been any calls about them either.

yup, it's a seriously well thought out (and executed) vehicle. Hence, my sister is getting the Milan version

the taillights suck

I work at ThyssenKrupp Budd and we build the chassis for the Fusion, Milan, and the MK Z. They're actually very nice cars and very well built. I really like the AWD versions of these cars. But the Lincoln has me thinking about getting one. It has a 3.5L engine with around 260HP, GPS, and tons of other goodies.

Really nice car, my sister just got one and I drove it for a week while she was at school.

Nice Interior, it just drives so nice, feels firm. I like it. Plus the new car smell is awesome.

my bro just a ford five hundred limited... 2 days befor i bought my stang... burgendy with vinilla leather interior.... the car is flawless... the fusion is just a little bit smaller then the 500.. im all in on a 500 limited...

heres some pic's.. not a stang or a fusion.. but its close and still a ford!

I don't know anything about the requirements for cop cars, but any chance, the 500 or Fusion become regular squad cars in the future?

The Dodge Charger will replace the crown vic for a squad car... They still make the 'Vic don't they?

I drive an 06 Fusion SEL V6 as my daily driver. The car is great. It rides smooth, and even with a V6 I get great gas mileage. It's quite a cost-effective car compared to the 2004 WRX STi I daily drove before. This thing literally costs close to 300 dollars less a month with gas/insurance factored in.

The cars got insane amounts of trunk room, nice sound system, seat warmers, great interior. I went with the all black leather. The car is all around just a great daily driver. It's like a Cadillac for half the price.

Now, the down sides of the car...

There's no balls whatsoever to the car. I don't know if maybe an air intake and exhaust would help the thing out or not. It needs something. Now I know it's not supposed to be a rocket, but the things a dog.

Other than the power, you can't beat the car for the money. Only real beef I have is that I bought an 06 without being told that AWD would be introduced in 2007.
