It really isn’t a dumb idea for ford to dump the sedans. Japanese sedans are better quality for better price with better mpg all the way around. In American, we want trucks and pickups. Ford can make SOO much more money just selling trucks and the mustang. It’s a business decision and I can bet ya it will be a plus for Ford down the road

My 2014 Ti Hybrid has 64000 on it. Love the car now but when I got it ,it had a lot of problems. Spent the better part of a year in the shop. The blind spot system was having malfunctions, the cam shaft position sensor kept going out every 5K miles, and the thing couldn't hold its oil. The dealer ended up replacing the radar modules and some of the sensors and the blind spot & cross traffic worked again. For the cam shaft position sensor...just keep tossing them at the car until one works. The last cam shaft position sensor seems to be a winner as it has lasted about 10K miles. The oil problem was noticed during the first oil change where it all drained back out. From what I was told they had to replace nearly every seal in the engine. The service person working on the car didn't quite get everything buttoned up and exhaust gasses were coming into the cabin after that large fix. I will probably not buy another Ford after this ordeal. Hopefully I am past the problems and the car will be trouble free going forward.

[@joethetrucker6834]

The Fusion is one of the best looking cars in its class. However, I believe the reasons sales are weak due to a dated interior and poor fuel economy. It’s tough to make the case for the Fusion when Camry’s and Accord’s can pull down 40 mpg on the highway. The ecoboost engines have never lived up to the promise of efficient performance. Ford just doesn’t want to put the money into updating the car properly.

[@josefgriveas7113]

Joe the Trucker how’s the interior dated ? Interior is incredible and this actually looks sexy on the exterior compared to those cars you mentioned

[@joethetrucker6834]

Both the Camry and Accord have upgraded interiors by comparison. Of course, those were redesigned for 2018. I recently was driving a 2018 Fuzion Hybrid as a loaner and I noted how some HVAC controls are only accessible via the screen. If you are running android auto (as I was), it requires several steps to redirect airflow. Mind you, I really like the Fuzion. I just think it could use an interior update.

It's sad, but it's a truth, lots of brands, mainly japanese and american, still fail to understand the concept of a cosy interior with high quality finish/durability.

[@sonendavidson7686]

Your production quality is getting really amazing! Keep it up...SMILE. I have the 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid S. Overall I think Ford did a lot right, especially with how the battery drive complements the gas engine with smooth transitions and provides nice torque boost on initial acceleration (and generally accurate/responsive handling). It's probably the quietest car I've ever owned too, partly owing to the car's active noise cancellation technology. Now for the gripes, which include two majors and two minors: 1. The tires have proven to be delicate in pothole thick Washington, DC. I had to replace three tires in five months--they're not cheap, and there's no spare tire! The first tire blew when I hit a pot hole last November. The second tire blew in February because I made a turn just tight enough to brush a curb. Yep, I brushed a curb and got less than one block before it went flat. In March the third tire apparently picked up a screw in a part of the tire that couldn't be patched. 2. At three years old my car is creaking and squeaking, and the plastic clips that should fit around the visor's ?hinge? hardware are falling down. 3. Even when the car was new, the steering never felt natural. I constantly have to correct in one direction or another. My previous car was a Taurus, and it had no problem just going straight. 4. The radio sometimes switches sources from Bluetooth to FM; it's totally random. I know 3 and 4 seem trivial, but when you're used to a Taurus that's built like a tank, annoying little stuff like this can be a deal breaker. So I'm seriously wondering, is anybody else dealing with delicate tires and plastic clips falling on you while you're driving, or is it just me? I love Ford's hybrid implementation and noise cancellation to the extent that I'm tempted to buy a new Fusion Hybrid, but some of the problems I'm having are aggravating enough to make me look at Accords (for the first time in my life).

I have 2017 very nice car

[@boozeralex]

As a former Focus owner I completely agree with you, very sad to see Fords cars go. I just bought a new car and ignored both the Focus and Fusion because I don't want to buy a car that is being discontinued. I now drive a Honda, they still seem to care about car buyers.

[@12skits63]

Ford should of just offered the fusion in a wagon like the mondeo. I would have totally bought one.

[@morgfarm1]

How about bringing the Falcon stateside? I know FPV has stopped making it, but take its platform, remodel the design for sportiness and call it the Galaxie. THEN Shove a V8 in it and call it a Galaxie 500. And then bring the Ute variant here. It'll end up like the Holden Commodore (SS) did, but it'll be a rare and pretty nifty car to have in your garage

[@gravemind6536]

The Mondeo and Fusion are the same with the exception of a badge and in Europe the Mondeo gets an estate version, literally no reason at all you guys in America can't have one too, its no extra cost to Ford.

[@12skits63]

Gravemind I know. Yet ford refuses to give us one. I think it’s because they feel like it wouldn’t be as popular they’re crossovers and trucks, but still it’s nice to have an option. I’ll just stick with VW and Volvo

[@gravemind6536]

12 skits Well they are discounting their most of their cars now anyway so I doubt now is the time to ask them for an estate but they make sense. You can cram a lot of stuff in them.

[@dgillies5420]

They make a Mondeo/Fusion wagon but Ford is too stupid to bring it to the USA !!

[@adammacgregor7587]

Completely agree, BIG MISTAKE! I have owned a 2010 and 2017 Titanium.

We've got a ruby red 16 Fusion SE & we love it ! 1.5 single turbo averages 28 combined & 33 on highway. Fun to drive and super reliable. I agree Ford is making a mistake discontinuing the fusion.

Well said. All of it and I can’t agree more. I currently have a 2010 sport awd and it’s a phenomenal car. When I do decide to let her go I plan on a new sport . Perfect cars in our area. Yeah I live by the Lincoln dealer you test drove the MKZ 3.0t that POV caught me by surprise . I was like wait a minute!? lol great channel 👍

[@Jimpassarotri]

The stock market only cares about future potential. Stable good selling doesn't mean much. Also, the problem is most people don't know what a good driving car is. They want tech, cvt, cuv, suv garbage with 21" wheels.

[@rinunculartoo3006]

Nice to see you back Mike. You're the best Auto reviewer on You Tube, was a big mistake on your part to cease your Ford reviews. I got rid of my 2015 Mondeo wagon (Fusion) in New Zealand in favour of a new Subaru Outback. Simply because our New Zealand Roads too rough for the low ground clearance of the Ford Sedans.

[@2012stang302]

Ford is making a mistake I love this car ! When I had mine I had no complaints from it at all! Ford you are making a mistake And if you make a four door mustang wow big time stupid Who is smoking crack at ford? Drug testing ?

[@markwisner3972]

I have a 2015 2.0L Echoboost Fusion. It has been a solid car. I have over 70K miles on it. I drove a Camry, a Accord, Hyundai, etc before I settled on the Fusion. It was the best driving of them all. My wife who only wants to drive a SUV admits, it is a great diving car. It is our go-to vehicle for road trips. I am sad to see it end. I had wished they brought the hatchback to the US like the Modero in Europe. Down here in the south, no one carried the AWD version.

I myself have a 2013 Taurus with the AWD system, I actually like how it handles in the snow over the explorer sport track that I had, I agree that axing pretty much all the sedans is a bad idea, however I'm reminded of the last time they did that, we ended up getting our current lineup of sedans a couple years later, this could be a repeat of that situation.

[@ARB0204]

There will be a 4door mustang which is probably a Taurus Replacement.

[@Solidity_Decorum_N_Class]

Replacing both the Fusion and Taurus

[@morgfarm1]

That will end up being one of the ugliest cars they ever build, if that's true. The Mustang was never intended as a 4 door and the Taurus is a Luxury car. Well. IS NOW. Shouldn't be. I'd like to see the former Aus. Falcon brought Stateside and branded as Galaxie, and then shove a V8 in it like the Aussies did and call it the Galaxie 500. AND I won't lie; I really wanna Falcon Ute. With a V8..

[@Michael-ur5qb]

Killer stuff on the Internet. I hate that idea. If you want a four door sport sedan than bring back the Thunderbird. It’s had a history of being good or bad but don’t potentially destroy the Mustang name by doing that.

[@benhuang2773]

@@Michael-ur5qb Have they confirmed that the sport sedan will carry the Mustang name? They could easily decide to call it a Thunderbird, but still give it the Mustang underpinnings. Would that be more palatable?

[@twotrackjack2260]

I honestly wish they would have brought the name Falcon back to the States.

[@randomesteven3935]

Placement of intercooler or some radiator vs reducing overall drag. I believe it goes alone the lines of ensuring the intercooler gets optimal air cooling while aerodynamic drag is not as compromise

[@randomesteven3935]

@CareerFireman I think poster meant the lower grille cut outs. Most adaptive cruise control sensors I've seen are placed in the upper grille, and not the lower grille

[@lifeofmike556]

Believe it or not I see lots of rich business men driving the Ford Fusion. I live in Chicago and you see them everywhere. Or office employees. Seems to be a great car from what I hear. Its a good balance between reliability, sport and luxury. Maybe I will look into an AWD one.

[@JamesRussoMillas]

It's probably because Ford loses money on making these cars versus selling them compared to their trucks. They've never been able to compete with the sales figures of the Asian competitors. Even when I went to buy a sedan, I didn't even look at American companies because their style just didn't appeal to me.

[@gravemind6536]

You only get them in the UK if you are cheap and want a cheap brand new or second hand car. They really don't hold value well at all. People want Japanese and German motors. And South Korea with the Hyundai and Kia cars are offering better more reliable cheap cars than Ford now and with the Ecoboost petrol problems across almost the entire UK range I would not see reason to buy a Ford.

[@dgillies5420]

East coast gangster style car; I agree.

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

When the Fusion first came out in the current design I really liked it, thought it was a handsome car and I still do. I worked at a Chevy dealer for 22 months and we only got a couple in and they sold, just like the previous gen Escape I wasn't in love with the interior as much as the exterior, especially the Sync system as well, but the one you are testing looks good enough for a bulk brand (non luxury model) and has been updated as companies tend to do at the end of a cycle. We would get Malibu or Impala customers that would ask why isn't there an AWD version, so there are some that still prefer a car over a CUV, but like you said only Subaru and Ford offered AWD and now for 19 Nissan does in the Altima. I guess companies are afraid to lose out on fuel economy with the extra weight of the AWD system, but it still would be nice to have as an option for those that are car lovers and prefer the drive of a car over a CUV/SUV and of course live in the snow belt like we do. As far as why Ford is killing off all their cars aside from the Mustang is as you said a decline in sales, they continue to drop year after year even if it is a small percentage. The sedan market as a whole is losing out on sales to the compact CUVs like the Escape, Equinox, Rav4, Rogue, CRV, etc... Ford sells about maybe 120-150k Fusions a year compared to the Japanese and Korean brands. Blows my mind with all the people out there saying they want jobs in the USA and will only buy American, yet buy Camrys, Accords, Altimas, Civics, Corollas, Sonotas, Elantras, etc... See if you can get your hands on a Ford Edge ST, because that is where they are going even with their Ford Performance stuff outside of the Mustang, I am sure there will be ST or RS versions of the Escape, Explorer which is now or going to be RWD bias, as well.

[@timothyfriesen9561]

I bought the last one on our local dealer ship lot. It wad sitting there for 2 years I guess no one wants a car. My dad always said 4 door sedans ate close to the cheapest to run and to work on because in the old days they were designed for families. Has been a great vehicle since day one.

[@stevehall6539]

Ford if your listening , stop the stupidity . This is one of the nicest cars on the road . I've had three of them , still own my 2008 sel , it's my daily driver and keeps my mustangs in the garage . The newest one I had was a Oxford white 14 titanium , and it was one of the nicest cars I ever had the enjoyment of owning . I traded it in for my 17 mustang premium , I just couldn't swing having both of them comfortably .

[@jcirvine38]

I have a ruby red 2016 Fusion SE and i love this car! It reminds me of my red Lincoln Mark 8 that I owned when i was in the Navy. The similarities are so close! It's as if someone redesigned the Mark 8, giving it a bigger grill and 2 more doors, then cut the engine in half, but doubled the horsepower! Lol... In any case, I will be sad to see the Fusion go away, just because pick up trucks and sport utilities are "popular" today. I might as well keep my Fusion after its paid off, and later it will become popular again over time like the Edsel, another Ford product. (Those were way ahead of their time, but also not popular then, and look at the Edsel today!)... Anyway, great review, Sir!
