  • fat kelsey mays, runner + jeans = fail

  • That's a good decision. I would too buy a fusion because its cheaper and more reliable.

  • I'm trying to warn people away from this car. So google interior door handles and six speed transmission problems. Ford doesn't have a clue about the transmission. One owner has had 3 or 4 transmissions replaced under warranty. Don't buy this car. I guess this will make it harder to unload mine o'well my loss your gain.

  • Cars made in Mexico are great cars. It's good to pay lower price for a car because they're getting more and more expensive.

  • All Fusions are made in Mexico? Why is it a stupid foreign car there? lol.

  • woaah he used to be fat look at his cheeks shit

  • Traded for a fusion and glad i did, the camry i had got recalled for a faulty engine,and gas pedal recall.

  • Kelsey Mays hates Ford. Just check out his other videos, he always has some small irrelevant complaint. And calling those tail lamps "offensive", I love those tail lamps and besides that, it's an opinion. I wouldn't walk up and call your wife's face offensive now would I?

  • What? Did he just say the tail lights were offensive?? My cars in silver and I think they look great...

  • ill trade my 08 fusion S for 04+ camry, accord or altima any day!!!!

  • Why would you want a stupid foreign car?

  • Nice!

  • public speaking 101: SLOW DOWN

  • BUY FORD, THEY DIDN"T TAKE BILLIONS OF TAX PAYER"S MONEY and avoid GM and Chysler (aka fiat) for stealing billions that could have went towards much more valuable things for the USA people.

  • hes talking kinda fast

  • @mrantis he sounds fine... do u not know english or something?

  • @bbaction101 No I dont know fucking english. That was a year ago get over it. He is still talking fast compared to others

  • What are you talking about I know the Fusion is made in Mexico but the quality is one of the best in the class...... compare it to a G6 that car is horrible.

  • Of course you don't cuz you're a fuck tard and speak on impulse. Y do i even try to explain shit to idiiots like you.

  • yes this is true. The mexicans are much better than the Union pukes in Chicago and Detroit 9and even Canada) at putting things together. Why should Ford pay for Union slop when their customers no longer put up with it?

  • People always like to blame the American Car Companies claiming their cars aren't reliable if people werent so lazy and changed their oil and inflated their tires and tuned up every spring they could get to 200k no prob.

  • Hmmm, interesting, I maintain my '97 Ford Explorer regularly, and it's as good as a scrap metal now. With air gasket being defective, coolant leaking, brake line rusting, spark plug in need of replacement, etc. The car hasn't even gone more than 140k miles. I've also driven a '98 Ford Taurus, done periodic maintenance like any responsible driver would, but we ended up trading it in because it is impractical in the snow. So, don't say I didn't try. I'm going with imports.

  • I guess someone failed to explain to you that maintainence is more than just changing fluid. Leaking coolant, a rusting brake line and a bad spark plug is hardly a reason to scrap a vehicle. Spark plugs do need to be replaced. They're not good for the life of the vehicle. Gaskets wear out too - no matter what brand it is. Good luck on your journey to find the perfect, unwearable, unbreakable vehicle.

  • homeboy, you fail because ford has the same reliblty as honda and toyota and 2nd of all european cars arent relible. and ford and gm are getting major upgrades.

  • Well said, my Chevy Malibu is 11 years old and has over 195,000 miles and runs perfectly fine. As far as major mechanical problems, I've only ever had one, being my head gasket. Even then the car ran fine, it just leaked a little until I got it fixed...just think, the car was built when American companies were supposedly building "bad cars." Well for a bad car, my Chevy seems pretty reliable. Just goes to show you that the whole claim about Ford, GM, and Chrysler is nothing more than a myth.

  • not a bad alternative to the mainstream family cars

  • Video was too short, and mainly referenced the interior of the car. At a minimum, the video should ALWAYS include a ride in the V6 (high end version,) with a short analysis of peformance and handling. Information should always include acceleration of this car from 0-60 as well as quarter mile time. In addition, the 4 cylinder should be referred to in comparison to the V6.

  • Why does Ford only try to compete with Toyota? A Ford customer would never buy a Toyota anyway.

    Ford like all American auto manufacturers also needs to improve its reputation for reliability and increase the status level of its cars to increase marketshare.

    If Ford was smart they would make a Fusion that would go for $17K and compete with the BMW 3 series, be reliable, stylish, and fun to drive. Now that would be genius.

  • American companies face a unique problem -- their bad rep has carried over from a generation of people that actually drove American cars to a new generation that don't and probably never will drive or buy American. What most people don't realize is that reliability and quality is on par with Toyota and Honda.

  • Also they had no competition, so developed a "greedy" attitude. Now they shot themselves in the foot. They have to change their attitude and get some "new generation" management in there with new ideas who understand today's generation of course.

  • Also what they should push for is to try to make people realize that they are ABLE to build a car that tops a japanese car, but for much less money in price, and most of all service. But for so long they built shit and now have to come with smething good and affordable. I had VW and now have a fusion. Much cheaper to buy and to maintain. Imports are a MYTH.

  • What the hell is this guy talking about? Even after the redesign of the chevy malibu its still cheap overall, that's why car mags like motor trend and car and driver rank it either dead last or near dead last with when compared to its competition. Has anyone sat in the back of those new malibu's? It really does feel like you are sitting on a park bench. God help you if you have to sit back their for more then 10 minutes.

  • your right.......i think GM needs to update the quality of the vehicles

  • nice car i love cars but i hate when people say that american cars suck i have a 2000 chevy camaro with over 160,000 miles on it and it still runs great and its stock getting close to 10 years old

  • so in anyones opinion here, is it better to get a ford fusion or a mazda 3?

    im getting a car for my 18th (parents co-signing but im making the payments)

    ive heard the fusion is good? looks good to me, what do you think?

    hollyy

  • how much money are you willing to spend on it? then ill tell you a good choice, holla back!

  • i was looking at it, and i think id go with the mazda 3

  • You better have a good wallet. They';re fucking expensive on parts and service. Every car needs brakes, shocks and the usual "stuff" you do on every vehicle. They all wear and tear, so it's a waste of money.

  • are u an idiot...i have had a fusion for 2 years nothing is broken everything is fine...and its a much more comfortable and better car than my wife's Camry

  • wait another year thats when your waterpump and cooling system will start breaking down, toyotas run 4-eva, dont be dissin toyota, wayyyyy better than ford bro

  • yea... um I've had ford all my life i have never had any problems, no repairs or anything so i don't know what the hell you are talking about

  • i know the 08 accord is slow but im talking about the 06

  • dude im talking about the 06 accord not the o8

    and any ways the info im getting is right from motor trend so if you dont believe me go look for your self

  • I drove this car for a week & it was surprisingly good!!! Very nice car.

  • the exterior design is quite good..but the interior quality isn't up to high standarts..

  • pinche feo gafufo de mierda

  • it seems that a lot of american people dislike fords, for their quality and so on.

    I wonder why, here in europe Ford is actually a respected brand with fairly good quality products, perhaps the problem is that european Ford and the american Ford are two completely different companies.

  • no they are the same but the crazy chevy folks go out of the way to try and make ford look bad for some reason

  • thats because ford is awful

  • thats your opinion, I have a ford ranger and ive never had any problems with it. It has 256k on the clock and still rollin.

    i tend to like car that work on a regular basis but that just me.

  • your crazy, i got a 98 ford escort, and it still runs smooth its about 140K miles now.

  • Your are right, they both are part of Ford Motor Company, but the european and american branch both have separate management teams, separate design teams, separate research and development teams and so on. This makes the european and american Ford totally different, they hardly use the same technology share no chassis or whatsoever.

    Look at the focus in europe and the focus of america (the older model) one is crap and one is good. It seems like the european branche is a competitive and NA not.

  • I would avoid buying a Ford if at all possible. My family had an '89 Taurus and we currently have two '95 Taurus's. The 89 needed to have its tranny replaced, twice. The 95 GL also needed to have its tranny replaced. And the 95 SHO has to be driven carefully b/c the tranny is showing signs that it will break down on u. Rebuit tranny, installed, aproaches $2000.

  • Well no fucking wonder if they are that fucking old. haha.

  • We didnt have major drivetrain problems with the Chevys or Hondas we owned, and they were/are "old" too.

  • maybe you guys didnt know how to drive the ford, you guys cant shift if its the transmission.

  • First, the cars had/have automatic transmissions, so we werent/arent shifting them directly.  Second, the 95 GL we bought new and it has been driven most of its life by a light-footed 50-something year old woman to work and to church. It eventually had tranny problems like the other two Tauruss we had.

  • The funny thing is, the Chevy Celebrity Eurosport wagon we had was treated rough, and it never had a major problem. Inconsistent oil changes and infrequent tranny fluild changes. Because it was a wagon, we would often use it to haul hundreds of pounds of stuff & people around.

  • I drove it (the Chevy Celebrity Eurosport wagon) into a major city once (3 hrs one-way) to pick up 600 lbs of material. That plus the two people in the car was about 1000 lbs total. Add to that the stop & go traffic of the city during the ride back, and u start to ask yourself why that car didnt have a tranny problem. I got rid of it when it hit about 190,000 miles. It was still working when I got rid of it.

  • i'd pick an accord over that piece of shit any day

    its really slugish and cheap materials

    get and accord

  • Yes and you will pay significantly more per $/hp than the Fusion, bang for the buck this car is it. If you wanna go for performance, hype or because you have your brain in Jap-overdrive and are simply too closed-minded to look at anything else besides rice-burners go for your Accord.

  • your actually the closeminded one. Honda makes MUCH better cars than ford...do some research

  • It seems like, he picked the worst looking Fusion to do this interview! Why didn't he pick a black color or, red? Also..., it looked like, the gray piece around the steering wheel have been broken(sabatoged) or, something. I know, a brand new car wouldn't have loose parts on it, like that! Also..., that's not even the fully loaded version! Ford been makes very good cars, lately(always if, you ask me)but, this guy gave a very bad interview of this car!

  • I hear Kelsey Mays is minimally offensive when he's in the trunk.

  • Why?

  • because they are crap. do some research

  • Actually..., they're not! If you do some research..., you'll see that, Ford's quality and, reliablity has improved over the last couple of years! Not to mention...but also, over GM, Toyota, Nissan and, Honda. Check and, see for yourself!

  • gr8 car

  • you cant tell me what color goes good with the tail lamps!!! is my choice bitch!!!

  • Are you kidding me? I test drove one and on paper it seems like it beats the Fusion on all fronts, feels like a POS though. The driving dynamics in a Sonata are some of the worst I have ever come across (and that's after driving the new Camry!). Yes, on paper the Sonata is better but the feel is for absolute shit.

  • bull a 4cylinder accord does 0-60 faster and it revs high

    the response on a fusion is so damn slow and the 0-60 time is 10 seconds v6 7.4 sec and accord 4cyl 0-60 8.1 and v6 6.4

    look it up but

    im talking about the o6 accord 4cyl by the way not the newwer onea

  • once you kids grow up and mature, how fast a car goes wont matter, it would be how safe or how comfortable the car is.

  • I just purchased an 08 Fusion 4cyl. I came from an 05 Subaru Legacy GT. The Fusion is easy to drive, its great on gas, and has enough power to zip around town. The Sync technology is awesome. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for an inexpensive, well equipped, fuel effecient alternative to its pricer Japanese rivals. Would definitly recommend the sunroof and fog lamps. Mine came with what Ford calls the "Moon and Tune" package.

  • dont buy a chrysler----y will b sorry--2.7 v6 motor has a major problem and they knew about it for years and did nothing--call your local mechanic about this motor--

  • "dont buy a chrysler----y will b sorry-"

    Chrysler has gone to shit since bought out by Mercedes. Now you get a cheap american car with all the horrible quality control and unreliability of a Mercedes.

  • That's true about M. Benz. Their cars might be the best luxury cars(by the critics)...but, to me..., they seem to be very unreliable vehicles! I'd bet, if you take the GL class on a rough offroad trip..., it'll breakdown on you in a heartbeat!

  • I love my 07 Ford Fusion!

  • i like this review. i like how you actually showed how squishy the dash is. don't often see that these days.

  • I want one of these cars, & I like the tail lights...what's this guy talking about?

  • Save your money and try the 08 Chrysler Sebring first- I absolutely love mine, 100% reliable, and the looks really turn heads!!

  • Chrysler's are very nice, I rented one of the newer minivans for 2 weeks & I was surprised at how smooth the engine & transmission was. Plus the gas mileage was unbelievable!!! Another vehicle I rented & I liked a lot was the Chevy HHR...this car was also awesome!

  • My best suggestion to you is test drive the Chrysler Sebring, and possibly the Dodge Avenger as well first before committing to anything, I did and am pleased. Check out my home page, and feel free to write me anytime- update me on what you finally get regardless!!

  • Will do thnx for the suggestion.

  • the fusion is great and their is no problem with relibility absolutly is great and a great car

  • i agree fords getting better but the quality of it needs to improve a bit

  • Reggie Bush and Deuce McCallister? I like football but thats a horrible analogy because most of us don't know what he's talking about since we don't really care for these players.

  • Not bad for a cheap car
