      @@ELSMITH3378 Aside from not having the Sony sound system and fancy useless cruse control, my 15 SE Luxury package has a FAR nicer interior than his. The beautiful French stiched black leather really beings the interior to another level, and the tasteful fo wood grain? Makes you feel like you're sitting in a lower level BMW or Audi. Aside from a few extra gadgets the SE Luxury package is the way to go IMO. If not just for the Hybrids French Stiched leather. The SE Luxury package adds all the exterior appointments too!

      I agree. As gas prices go higher and higher I think the crossover craze is going to end. People will want another sedan with good MPG. Ford isnt even going to make a Focus for god sake!! I bought a 2012 Focus for my daughter and that thing would get 40mpg. Try that in a crossover!! So yea I think its a big mistake to stop all sedan production.

      I disagree if they bring back the fusion it'll be because of public demand and not over gas prices.The SUV that Ford makes Eco,Escape,Edge,Explorer,Expedition all come with 4cyl eco boast engines and 6cyl EcoBoost and the gas milage are quite comparable to the sedans some actually over lap,like Escape and Fusions are almost identical ,the lower end Escapes have better mileage then a platinum and sport fusion.I own a Fusion Sport and it is by far the best car I've ever owned ,so much fun to drive,Metalic Grey,Dark tinted out windows,I blacked out all the chrome including the grille and removed all the Ford badging and I get asked all the time what is that car your drive,I've even had people take pictures of my car and that's never happened with previous vehicles including previous fusions.Im thinking they are making a mistake but how can I argue with the quite frankly pioneers at least in the technology part of the auto industry,they have technology in their vehicles 4-5 yrs before anyone else.

It's got the 18 inch rims and I'm only on my 2nd set of tires and it's got 86000 kms on it. It is AWD and the tires wear pretty even. Just love our Fusion. Last week I hit a goose in mid flight (Doing 60 km/h) and the dam bird took out my windshield. Glad it hit the passenger side since no one was sitting there.

    I worked at a Ford Lincoln Mercury dealer for 3 years.......was a "Ford" young man..... I noticed how Ford product wear out and get sloppy so got a job at a GM dealer to check those out. I worked at a Cadillac Oldsmobile GMC dealer for 4 years....... my love of a 1996 Cadillac STS was instant and while working there found the sloppy was not an issue like Fords. GMs traction control and anti lock brakes systems were so much better than Fords at that time. Still kept my love for GM.
    Now a decade later my wife buys this 2014 Ford Fusion 1.5L SE loaded...... I was not happy lol. Good looking car no doubt there...I love its looks. Then I drove it. WOW !!!!! Ford caught up to the GM Cadillac STS performance (traction control and anti lock brakes system) and a 1.5L was even more impressive but not a Northstar of course lol. Have had some troubles with the car with over 100k miles on it. Luckily I was a tech for a few years. All in all I am still impressed with the car and told my wife to keep it as she got frustrated last time we had troubles with it. For a Ford it is an awesome piece of engineering. Hate the interior fuse block location, the screen and buttons for heater/air, tires are wearing out kinda quick but we have the 17" standard wheels. Hate the "My Key" function as we bought it used and only have one key and it is set up for a teenager driving settings lol It would cost us a few hundred dollars to get another key and reprogram it all so not happening. So I can only do 80mph and the stereo only goes up to half its loudness. Even with those things I love the car. Still rather have a Cadillac though but that car is in a higher group of cars than the Fusion from the get go...but the Ford is close.
    Thanks for the video.

    Rob, I think you did a good job. I appreciate this as I am about to purchase a used 2015 Fusion - was extremely impressed when I drove it. This has helped me as everything you brought up was pretty inconsequential for a long time owner = I think that was your point. And the fact you still love it says tons. I have to admit, these cars are a bit of a secret as when I started to look, the Fusion was not on my radar. It was only when I checked out some client sat surveys that it pops, and then driving one shows you how well they drive and are built. I'm coming from a Cadillac CTS = I found the Fusion extremely comfortable and very luxurious. And very sharp looking too. Thanks for the review. And make a point of not saying the statement shared by others below :-) = meant only as a kind correction.

It is loaded, with all the extras including expensive black wheels (18" tires.) It is the smoothest, quietest ride I've ever owned, but I got a ticket soon after buying it, because it gets up to 80+ very quickly. It is Ruby Red, which changes from dark red in the shade to metallic red in the sun, with 3 coats of clear coat. A fabulous car that I was lucky to find on the net, 1,000 miles from my home.

    I have a 2016 Fusion which I bought as a used vehicle at about 26k miles. It's now about 58k mileage. I love this car too! When I saw the title of your video, my curiosity got the best of me. I had to see what you don't like about your Fusion. There was some interesting information I didn't know, or didn't think of. Good to know! Now I have to check out my gear shift. I've always just driven in Drive, never checked out the rest of it (the S means Sport, huh? I kinda thought that but never investigated it.). The one thing I didn't understand was why no lower gears? I use lower gears on snow and ice for more control. Now I really need to read my manual, right? 😆

    I drive a 2014 Titanium that I bought CPO with 23k miles in 2015. It now has 166k miles on it. First non-European car I've owned. No major issues, drives like new. Quiet, comfortable, fantastic HVAC--the A/C will freeze your bones on the hottest day, well designed remote starter with automatic sensors for ambient temp--a terrific feature. Having worked in pro audio for most of my life, I can honestly say the Sony sound system in this car is the best automotive system I've heard. Punchy low end with none of that Bose sloppy hyped bass. No need to mess with the equalizer, it sounds fantastic set at flat. Good on gas, fun to drive, the paint looks like it just came off the showroom. I could afford a new car, but I don't want to part with this one.

    I gotta 14 FFH and it’s awesome; gets pretty good mpg, goes faster than a prius, and it’s just fun to be stealthy in EV mode... However I did notice the tires went bad pretty quick, now I use Pirelli P4 All Season Plus (consumer reports said these tires lasted over 100,000+ miles on their test vehicle). Also inflating your tires to max pressure (or a little below it) will help decrease the rolling resistance and should help squeeze more miles out of the tires, but the trade off is comfort... Also the lug nuts and oil drain plug are not very high quality and I had to replace them with durable ones.

I also checked with different tire companies in my area (Goodyear, Firestone, Tires Plus, etc) and their around the same price. He could have paid less if he went with a different brand and different quality. He didn't get ripped off, for Michelin, you're going to pay more. You also pay more for 19" tires compared to a car that has oem size of 16 or 17".

    In 2021, I Purchased a 2015 Ford Fusion SE 1.5L engine with 141000 miles on it for $4000 at a dealers auction. Major fix was to have the airbags replaced and a few other repairs with total cost of $2000. Overall, it appears previous owners took fantastic care of the vehicle. Body is flawless and the shine like a new car. Transmission is great and changes seamlessly. The engine runs smoothly and I consider my purchase a steal. I service my car regularly at every 5,000 miles coz I use it for deliveries. Have put 20,000 miles on it since I started using it.
    Just last week had a problem with some whining sound from the serpentine belt area and it happened to be the water pump going bad. Had it replaced as well as the timing belt, serpentine belt, pulleys and tensioners. Cost for that @ $1100 parts and labor. Car running like new again. Now, I'm assured of at least another 60,000 miles of smooth, comfortable, fuel-saving driving on those changed components. I get about 29 highway driving miles/gallon. Resale value now is @ $12,000 that I'm being offered. BUT, There's nothing I would trade my Ford Fusion for.

I will probably never get such a good deal again. Love these cars as reliable transportation that get great gas mileage and has very good performance, well pretty good anyway. I will probably replace it in 2025. It will be interesting to see with what... Thanks for doing these videos!

    I have a 2017 Titanium with the redesigned 19” wheels. I had a 2014 that looked exactly like yours as well before it was flooded in Harvey. Both cars came with those same continental tires. They had very good traction, but with those continentals, the mileage varies. They can also be loud and and make a drone like sound as they wear down. My 2017 was able to get 50k out of those tires and I was just down to 4/32. Next time you get tires, try the new Bridgestone QuietTrack. They have an 80k warranty and they are 800 A A tires. The Continentals are 500 AA A, as well as the Michelin’s. The Yokohama YK 740 GTX tires are also a great contender. I do mostly highway miles which might make a
    slight difference in longevity though.

    As for the tire thing, I'm surprised the 19" equipped cars have this problem. We have an SE with 18" wheels and had to replace ours at 25,000 miles. I assumed that meant the tire design was junk, but now this has me thinking it might have something to do with the car itself. It's interesting.

Part was very hard to find and it cost me 200 bucks. The part also fouls your cat converter because it causes your car to run rich, so all in all I had one major repair that cost me about 1k. And yes, mine seems to wear tires out at 28-30k too, and I have 18s.

    The only thing about the 2020 Fusion that we’re not crazy about is the new gear shift that Ford came out with. Instead of a stick to shift the gears of the automatic transmission, it’s a rotary dial, so in order to shift gears you need to turn the dial. It’s been a really difficult thing to get used to and truthfully we’re still not used to it. But that’s the only negative about the car overall.
