[@bL33ds]

[@Alese011]

I'm Getting This Car In Black This Weekend! So Excited!

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

***** Nice!! Congrats !

[@aklo5014]

I have ordered exactly this (titanium x-pack with adaptive LED) car in Magnetic grey as my company car, without a test drive. It's marketed as Ford Mondeo in Europe. I have ordered it without a test drive as it was really hard to find oneI had similar car for a test drive a week ago, and I can confirm - I is awesome.I allows you to drive 2-3 miles on battery only before ICE kicks in, with max speed on battery at 85 mph. Without much of effort I made 46 mpg. And I drive short distances, and often with cold engine. I think this car is epic. Especially for the price! And, well, my personal car should arrive next week!!! :)

+Snu Snuu Awesome! Congrats !

[@pauldienhoff7047]

Picking up 2018 one this week after watching your reviews mate!

[@ramflow8466]

Brother just bought this and I get to take it on a 14 hour road trip tomorrow night. Looking forward to experiencing it!

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

+Junior Midence Awesome ! Congrats :)

[@vitolibido]

+Junior Midence how was the road trip

[@ramflow8466]

vito libido No regrets.

So what do you do if the battery dies in the car? In fusions that need an actual key to start, you can use that to unlock the car by prying off the guard on the door handle. But without a physical key, how would you get in if the battery dies?

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

***** There is a key inside the actual fob, you can open the bottom part and its there :)

[@lindajones2635]

+Auto Vlog Where would you insert the key to start the car? I cannot find a key hole in my 2016 Hybrid Tit.

[@DamonBrown]

If I were to ever go back to a Sedan it would be the Fusion or the MKZ. I currently own an Edge. I rented a Fusion before and I was really surprised how much trunk space it had. It was very comfortable to to sit in and to drive.

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

Damon Brown I fully agree as I own a Fusion myself :)

[@DamonBrown]

Mikes Auto Reviews Why did you decide to go with a Fusion?

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

Damon Brown I had a Focus at the time but I wanted something a little bigger, and honestly I feel that the Fusion is probably the best pick in the midsize sedan segment. It is also one of the few that offers AWD, the Sonata, Optima, Altima, Accord et.c... does not, which makes the Fusion very competitive. AWD was something that I wanted and got :) Along with it being a very good looking as well :) A review of MY Fusion will be up soon also.

[@DamonBrown]

Mikes Auto Reviews I think it's the best looking one as well:) I use to own a focus too and I wanted a bigger car so I went with an Escape then the Edge. I don't have a family, but I wanted to go better. The Edge is the biggest I'll go:)

[@antonsjostrand6009]

Love the austin martin style on it :)

[@megaroeny]

Not a bad review, but all the circling made me motion sickness. Maybe do more stationary setup and put in the effort for editing. That extra bit will make your videos way better :)

[@ronaldpeters4801]

I wish ford would bring back the Bordeaux color that was introduced in 2011. I currently own a 2011 Ford Fusion with the color Bordeaux. My next color on a Fusion would be blue.

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

Ronald Peters That was a nice color !

[@BossSpringsteen69]

Its about time Ford put buttons back on the radio stack. Over a year and a half ago when i was car shopping i noticed the touch display for the radio and could see the inconvenience using it while stationary. I knew driving it would pose a problem for many drivers. I cant believe Ford signed off on that because, they already were hurting from poor quality MYSYNC 1. And MYSYNCH 2 was not much better. My Garmin that i bought in 2008 is quicker and less irritating than my 2014 MYSYNC in my car.

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

BossSpringsteen69 Yeah the buttons are so much better !

[@dennisthemenance5433]

I was looking for an additonal Drive test and a Non Biased Opinion about the car and any Insight on Maintenance over say 25-50,000 miles ? Also Note, Most dealers I found having a Used one? takes Months for them to sell it and they discount it dramatically..So, unless in a City, expect to get Below Wholesale at the best for buying and Selling your Hybrid.. and with some added emblems? it could past for a Lincoln MKS..

[@thebitplanes8188]

Is that really the highest trim level? Why would they discontinue the Energi?

[@frazierhaley5549]

+Zum Zamim The Energi isn't discontinued. Titanium is the highest trim level.

[@dennisthemenance5433]

But thwy do they Loose their Value so Fasts? Too Many On the Road thru Rental Co's? I see the 14' selling for (-50%) less than the 16's.. & Used 15's? Selling for -25% Less..

[@gazeebo88]

Is the regenerative braking and stuff enough to keep the battery charged or do you need to recharge it at home by plugging it in or something? What is the actual fuel efficiency? They say it's around 40 but that seems really high.

[@pewdiepiefan4lifebrofist451]

yes the is regenerative braking, yes you have to it, regenerative brakings not enough to fully charge it

[@AustinDashes]

It recharges with the gas motor running, the regenerative brakes, coasting down hills, etc. The battery is rarely ever low. When it is, the car goes into recharging mode and actually bumps the horsepower up from 188 to 193. Lol!

[@dennisthemenance5433]

Actually Using the myDord touch for Contorols was too expensive for Lower Cost Fusions and Only appropriate for Its Lincolns and Tarus models was it not?

[@717dash_cam]

My 2015 1.5 SE is on the verge of lemon law... So am trying to get ideas of what I would trade it for... Pretty much down to three choices, Fusion SE AWD, SE Hybrid, or swap out entirely and go Subaru legacy. (My previous 2010 fusion was a ford repurchase, that I bought) I LOVE the size of the fusion, and the way it drives... I just can't be spending a month or more out of my car at a time due to an intermittent issue... Though my dealer has Enterprise built into their service department, and my last two rentals were great... (2015 Mustang Convertible, and 2016 Lincoln MKX ..[They were out of fords that day]... I hope if it gets to buyback, that they are willing to give me a slight upgrade...

[@2000YearsOfTradition]

What about the Daytime Running Lights ??

[@TheRealTrucido]

Fusion Hybrid vs Civic / Civic hybrid / Accord Hybrid?

[@kendallbrooks4887]

I own the 2014 I would trade it for this one

[@BobABooey.]

Those seats a nice but would last a minute in that color.

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

Bob A Booey I have those seats and they do ok, except with leather belts and jackets..

[@120beers]

+Auto Vlog And denim jeans.

[@BobABooey.]

My 2015 Fusion seats are black and look good as new.

[@KofiOguun]

If you don't have time to charge it, can you put gas in?

[@cheeriomartinez]

it's both man. you can put gas in it and when you break or coast it will charge the battery.

[@NetRolller3D]

Melvin Desouza It's the Fusion Hybrid, not the Fusion Energi, so actually you _have_ to put gas in it, it can't charge from a plug. Only the Energi and Electric series have a plug, the Hybrid series doesn't.

[@ayovalerie1995]

Does anyone know if this car feels wide? Like the camrys?

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

+Valerie Macias Not to me but I think that the answer to this question would just be a matter of opinion from person to person regarding the size of your person.

[@717dash_cam]

+Valerie Macias I don't think so. I have driven a 2010, and a 2015 fusion, and it doesn't feel wide at all. But it does all depend on what you are used to driving. The electric power steering is a big help to making it not feel as wide as it is, and makes it a really easy and fun car to drive. Here is a great way to think about it. It is all about driving dynamics. The fusion is tuned to be European by nature, which usually equates to a taught sporty ride. It loves to go around turns, and be driving by drivers. The Camry is developed for comfort and people who don't care how they get where they are going, just that they get there; which equates to sitting on an old couch, with no true sense of urgency, and a lack of driver engagement.

[@AlexMasonF22]

+AutoVlog name of the song please :)

[@vehiclesafetyinventionsofp1484]

Wonderful vehicle. Would love to teach Ford Motor Company how to make the vehicle doors communicate with so many of my most wonderful simple and effective applications that provide so much more customer confidence in added safety that works all the time. It is time Ford Motor Company became a student of mine to teach them what they do not know, that the consumer demands after they see it. It is called a "safer vehicle". My comments are directed to all vehicle manufacturers. Any CEO of any vehicle manufacturer can contact me directly to schedule an appointment. They will find it highly profitable.

[@dennisthemenance5433]

Surpised your Employer, ( Ford Dealer) didn't ask you to drive a hybrid to set the example for Saving Gas and Oil Imports that normal Families support

[@dennisthemenance5433]

Rather buy a used 2015 Lincoln MKZ hybrid

[@pukora2000]

This review was a waste because it omits the only most important information on how much it does on battery only before the engine kicks in etc.. Not to mention the 1 word / min speed :)

[@bradh716]

That voice command is silly. Why go through all that trouble to turn on your a/c, having to listen to that loud mouth woman who sounds ugly when you could just peacefully turn a knob in less than half the time?

[@bradh6185]

+That Guy True. I didn't think of that.

[@lucasdograu981]

uh q daora

[@dennisthemenance5433]

Its a great Car! Anytime running Low on battery poer? Just stop in at the Home Depot and buy 20 Packages of 10 AA Batteries for it and pour them into the Gas Tank! ;-)

[@willrc5731]

Selna Goodhead you’re stupid

[@Zyphen4866]

This poor car had no idea what you would do to it.

[@dennisthemenance5433]

Another Over rated Item is the back up Camera..Useless
