What owners say
"Overall, drivers really appreciate the 2010 Ford Fusion for its reliability, performance, and fuel efficiency. Many enjoy the strong power from the V6 engine, the comfortable handling, and the variety of features this model offers. However, some have noted issues with steering and transmission, and a few also mentioned the need for more advanced tech options like Bluetooth."
Nice sporty look. Surprisingly roomy -- turns out this Fusion is about the same size as the 2001 Taurus it replaced. Quiet interior, well-damped suspension, very good speakers. 34 MPG highway per EPA sticker. I chose this car for my mother-in-law based on the 5* safety ratings and ended up liking this car a lot more than I expected.
November 23, 2012We were totally taken by surprise when we initially test drove this car. Not only does it have great mpgs but it handles so wonderfully that it was a no brainer to buy. We plan to actually buy a newer one if not upgrade to a Taurus. No one I know who owns one of these cars has one complaint... Even Ford said there has not been one recall or issue with this car since day one. There's really no maintenance associated with this model! Runs like a champ and has great power.
June 2, 2012From the start I liked the way the 2010 Ford Fusion was going to look like. It was one of the few Fords where the Gillette grille actually fit the car while the Taurus just looked weird with it. So why I saw 5 brand new ones come to my branch I was delighted and wanted to drive one of these cars. Well it appears these were from National's order so we actually got the SEL trim instead of your typical Enterprise base car. So just sitting inside this car was a major step up from the last Fusion which was mediocre at best. The materials looked a lot better, unlike the last Fusion it does look more like a 21st century vehicle from inside with all the buttons. The 2010 Fusion's interior is not the best looking in my mind, its still rather dark and all the buttons does make it look a bit like a mess. Still, its comfortable and compared to GM and Chrysler...very very good. Normally I'm harsh on made in Mexico build quality, but Ford must have gotten it right here vs. Nissan who doesn't seem to understand how badly Mexican made Nissans are. The car does a lot better on the drive. Its only a 2.5L 4-cylinder but it acts a lot like a V6 unit. This is a very quiet 4-cylinder and appears to have more than enough torque. The handling seems to be inspired by the Mazda6 since it feels competent on corners. The steering wheel is well weighted adding to the sense that this car has been developed in the right way. Good job Ford, keep this up and maybe American cars would be looked at in a positive light.

June 18, 2009This has been a great family car that I enjoy driving. I absolutely love its handling capabilities and its sporty appearance. It's comfortable, roomy and simply fun to drive! I am sad to sell, but our expanding family is in need of a van. It has great fuel economy and has many luxuries that higher end cars have, but at a fraction of the price.
March 3, 2012I bought this car for my son. He did the research and is now very happy with the purchase. It looks good, the ride is great as is the gas mileage. He really enjoys the satellite radio and sync. On the down side, the dash had been wiped with something that caused spotting, which he did not see at the dealership.
June 22, 2010For being the base model, this Fusion has many options. I have found no complaints and have compared many of the good things to my previous vehicles that had many options. So far, the best observed mileage has been 32.84 MPG, but as of the end of the first year, it is up to 35.34. The overall average is 24.7. Worst observed has been 15.76 (the weather was -40). The ride is great, and road noise is minimal. Ford has done a great job at improving this car with this model year. The six-speed manual adds a great fun factor, and the car does not want for power. It handles wonderfully deep snow. The traction control allows the driver to control traction a little before it reacts to wheel/tire spin. The roll stability control corrects any skidding or sideways motion as a result of taking corners too fast (on purpose or otherwise).
March 2, 2010The car is fast for having a 3.5 V-6 running on regular gas,the sport shift is fun but it really needs to be sterring wheel mounted. Acceleration is good, i beat a 89 mustang GT with off road exhaust. This car rides really good(and i live in Michigan!) This is one of the best looking car Ford has ever made, and the interior is great and well thought out, nice leather. This Fusion Sport gets good gas mileage in the city and i dont drive slow, and around 28 mpg doing 80mph which is good. this car is super fun to drive, one thing if you can afford it go for the AWD sport, the AWD system is great on these Fusions, owned one and miss it even in summer.
July 8, 2009I don't really have anything bad to say about the car. Low maintenance costs and efforts to keep the car running, very nice looking car, good gas mileage, fun to drive. You feel as if you have complete control when you get behind the wheel of this vehicle.
November 16, 2014Car is fun to drive, handles awesome and has a lot of power I didn't expect from a 4 cylinder. Has a ton of storage space, backseat is comfortable. Gets awesome gas mileage. Has a very sleek look and of course its blue, my favorite color.
April 9, 2012This car has all the available options except remote start ( and I'm looking into adding it). •Performance - acceleration, braking, handling are all exceptinal for this car. It seems better than any car I have ever driven. I am even using the DVD player while I work.
