2011 Ford Fusion Sport Review by Lynn David Cole

The reviewer sounds like George w Bush

I love the steering wheel, I drive with my hand at 6 o clock- 90% of cars have a bar at 6 o clock that prevents this,

Love the keypad entry on driver's door-

Love all the air-bags and stability control

Fairly good traction in snow

Over all I feel like this car could easily go to 200,000- miles with little to no trouble. It feels very well designed and built.

[01fastrace]

Things I don't like

No lights on doors- step out at night and you could step on a snake. could use a bit more rear seat head room, needs bigger sun visor+visor for door- like what my Lincoln had, heated seats seem to take a while to heat up, get up to 85-90 mph the hood vibrates up and down 1/18th of an inch-tires just aligned/balanced-never been wrecked, needs brighter interior lighting, My Lincoln would blind you and had lights everywhere,

[01fastrace]

Great Video. I have a 2011 Fusion SEL I-4 auto. I am getting about 36 mpg highway @55 mph, 20 mpg City. I have 17,000-trouble free miles.

Things I like. Great fuel economy, large trunk for a mid size car, big mirrors on doors, plenty of foot room for a mid size car, silky smooth automatic, easy to get into and out of car-you don't set too low in car- , strong A/C-Heat. Low road noise, good looks, almost sport car like handling, fairly quiet acceleration for a 4 -cyl.

the interio appears to be very plasticly, I don't know it also appears to be missing some type of style.

[jvrdlc]

i like the car, but the interior is a let down. for a 33k i expect a better interior. the new redesign is coming tho.

[AutoTravelTV]

@jvrdlc - I've seen the new design, and you won't be disappointed. The design is awesome, but that's all I can say now.

[jvrdlc]

@AutoTravelTV cmon say it. msg me w the answer lol..at least the new features

[AutoTravelTV]

@jvrdlc - Sure, on January 9th, 2012.

[AutoTravelTV]

You can say that again. It grips the road like a cat chasing a mouse on carpet. :-)

[IndentV]

well...it might loose traction when the wheels fall off..just sayin

[goitoutdoors]

Mr. Cole, I like it that a seasoned driver (older dude) is doing reviews. You understand quality and understand actual usability and day-to-day use of a car, not just the driving feel and comfort aspects.

[AutoTravelTV]

@goitoutdoors - Thanks for your kind words. I try to look at all of the things that I believe are important to most drivers. I was young once and still remember what impressed me. Be it know that I'm not the average old guy. I'm very much into the latest technologies but only when they add improvements to the driving experience. If I miss any areas that you are interested, I will do research or point you to those who have the answers. Thanks for being a loyal viewer.

Holy cow! You could fit 2 or 3 dead hookers in that trunk! :o

[AutoTravelTV]

@captainpegs07 - Please don't use the trunk for that. They're much more fun alive. :-)

[armydray13]

@LynnDavidCole Thanks! 

[AmberNikole101]

I really like the sports interior and the color is a plus its exactly what I was looking for, but it doesn't get as much mileage per gallon and doesn't have the touch screen °_°

[killertelletuby23]

keep it up - MM

[XxIEATFUNITUREx]

HD is nice to see.

[AutoTravelTV]

@XxIEATFUNITUREx - Thanks, I always try to create the best quality that I can with what I have. Glad You liked the review.

Thanks,

- Lynn David Cole

[jonasgirlify]

what kind do u ask for? as far as the interior blue part?

[AutoTravelTV]

@jonasgirlify - I tried to find the exact name of the interior colors on Ford's web site to no avail. I have requested that Ford send me the window sticker that will have that information. Yes, it is a lovely and fun car. You'll love it.

- Lynn David Cole

[AutoTravelTV]

@jonasgirlify - I just got a copy of the window sticker from Ford and here is the color scheme:

Exterior: Blue Flame Metallic

Interior: Sport Blue Leather Trim SEA

I hope this is the answer that you were looking for.

- Lynn David Cole

[jonasgirlify]

@AutoTravelTV it really does.. thank u :)

[jonasgirlify]

Hey Lynn,

As I was just about to close the internet window,

you were saying "be sure to leave..." and I turned off the internet.

But I'm guessing you wanted me to leave the comment.lol

So here I am leaving you a comment saying thank you for your review! loved it!

[AutoTravelTV]

@Nasar993 - I'm glad you liked the review. I can't wait to get my next series of new cars from Ford to test and review. Let me know if you have any favorites that you are interested in knowing more about.
