Practicality

The Ford Fusion is a decently priced Ford and running costs and insurance should be low. The diesel alternative probably won’t provide a significant day-to-day saving, but the diesel option definitely provides excellent performance benefits.

The Fusion is more practical than a hatchback for everyday use. The rear seats fold flat to allow for extra van-like cargo space. Front passengers should be very comfortable with adequate room and comfortable seating. There are also several cubbies located throughout the cabin for storage of miscellaneous items.

The Fusions main dials and controls are simple to use and large enough to read and operate easily. The stereo’s basic functions are mounted on the steering wheel for convenience, and the steering wheel also adjusts for comforta and convenience.

The Ford Fusion cabin can adequately accommodate four average sized adults in reasonable comfort. Road and engine noise is kept to a minimal, and the car’s raised height increases cabin accessibility.

The Fusion is easily accessible due partly to the car’s raised height which allows passengers to slide easily into and out of the seats. The car’s large front doors also contribute to the car’s accessibility. Rear doors are also adequate for easy accessibility, but are smaller than the front doors. The cars load lip is at a decent height, and the tailgate is functional and light and provides good access to the car’s boot.

The Fusion is not a difficult car to park. Visibility is good, and the car’s unique shape makes judging distance a simple task. The car’s lightweight steering and large side mirrors make parking the Fusion a trouble-free event.

Life Style

The Ford Fusion was not designed to be a fast car, but the car’s underpinnings make it a fun car to drive. Handling and grip are excellent and steering is well balanced and responsive at both high and low speeds. All engines offered with the Fusion are good quality and perform almost equally as well.

The Fusion could be used as a family vehicle. It has plenty of cabin space for a small family, and enough boot space to accommodate most family related packages. There are many optional extras that could be included that make the Fusion even more family friendly. Like a drop down DVD system.

The Fusion would be a good first car for new drivers who are seeking more cabin space than that which is found in traditional superminis. The Fusion is easy to drive and thanks to an elevated drive position visibility is good and makes parking easy, even for the least experienced driver. Running costs and insurance is low and the Fusion should return good fuel economy.

Ford used to have a practical but kind of stale public image, but thanks to its latest models the company’s image is getting a much needed and well deserved boost. Cabin plastics look and feel good, and the car boasts high levels of equipment, making the Fusion an all around quality product.
