[@Blank00]

To be fair, even though this Accord would smoke a Camry, Honda never intended for the Accord 2.0 to be winning all races. Otherwise, this car would've been called the Accord SI or Accord Type R. Similar to how a Camry XSE is not called the "Camry TRD line", the Accord Sport is not even called "SI line" or "Type R line". You're comparing something never meant to be performance against something that is meant to be performance. Meanwhile, Fusion Sport was meant to be performance because this was during a time when Ford had a different leadership than Ford today. Back then, they intended Sport to be the performance because the previous management, unlike today's Ford management, thought that calling it "ST" would be out of place. The reason why today, Fords that would've been called Sport are now called ST and they now use "Sport" for either a looks package or a smaller version of a car is because Ford has new management. For example, the Edge ST that came out in 2019 was just a rebranding of the Edge Sport because the 2019 Edge ST is mechanically the same as the 2018 Edge Sport. The Accord is great for what Honda intended, and the Fusion was great for what Ford's previous management intended.

[@MyShawn82]

The Fusion Sport was never meant to be a performance car. The Ford Performance division never touched it. When this vehicle came out, there were Focus STs, Focus RS, Fiesta STs, GT350, etc. Those were molded by Ford Performance: brakes, suspension, tires etc. The Fusion Sport literally has the 2.7 and a transmission that’s able to handle it and that’s it. Just like the Accord.

I've owned these two cars fusion, than accord 2.0, tuned them both. AWD is a huge advantage for the fusion for dig races. They are surprisingly close in acceleration.

[@adamlaflamme1676]

Ford had built a really really balanced car with the Fusion SPORT. The problem was all the other Fusion's which made up the majority of the fusion sales were garbage, and most people thought the fusion was just that. Ford should have only EVER offered the Fusion in the sport model. Also these Fusion sports were really expensive like $55,000, at that point its hard not to start looking at BMW etc.... If Ford would have only sold the Fusion sport model not the other models and at a slightly cheaper sticker price, you'd have a whole bunch of moded Fusion Sports embarrasing a lot of way more expensive cars out on the streets today. However mayby its a good thing, because there are not many of these sleeper Fusion Sports on the road which sorta adds a cool factor I guess.

Next release the brake pedal put on the ebrake and press the traction control button hold for a second release then press and hold for a second and release. Now keep the ebrake on and put your foot on the brake pedal and press and hold the button and release then press it again and hold for a second then release. Now the traction control should be completely turned off. That makes a huge difference with hard starts.

The interior is actually great in them . The fusions were very well built .

I do agree with you on the transmission , but it was only a let down when trying to do quarter mile times which no one ever does with a fusion . The fusion with the 2.7tt v6 is a family car with extra power. They were also very quiet. Only let down id say when comparing it against the camry or accords was the reliability. Plus the fusion came with awd first and if you want a camry with awd it has to be 2021+ and can only get it in hybrid with a 4 cylinder while the accord still doesn't offer awd.

Couldn’t believe the specs when that fusion first came out .. definitely something you wouldn’t expect from a fusion .. hate that they discontinued it . Run it against a Taurus SHO

I ran mine against one at like 5 lights in a row. If you brake boost it, it launches way harder than the sho. But by about the top of 3rd, he started pulling and passed me.

It costed more than the accord new tho , especially the sport with the 2.7tt v6 . The accord 2.0T touring is same price the the fusion 2.0T titanium. The fusion was cool becuz for 3-4k more than its competition you get a way faster dad car .

@@alexion7160 Actually one of Fusion Sport versions did cost about the same as the Accord Touring and because they were not selling all that well it was possible to get it significantly less.

@@addisonlessing8709 I have an Edge sport which is the Fusions stablemate (same motor and all) & from a roll it’s like the factory tune is very restrictive the first 3-4 seconds of building boost which is crucial in a roll race.
