shitty review. Yeah, please, drive the Fusion, but don't even bother touching the Malibu. On top of that, the "brake test" was unfair since you do not know that those 2 different people pressed the brake pedal at the same time. Chevrolet wins hands down and always will. The Fusion is so fucking ugly.
there is no comparing the fusion and the malibu. the fusion wins hands down. i drove them both and the malibu cant touch the fusion in looks, handling, and power. the only way to find what you like is go take them for a ride. dont believe what others say. legroom was also something i needed, and the fusion had more, both front and back.
WHat a bullshit review. All you did was drive the fusion, and the stop test? the camera wasnt at a 90degree angle to the cars , so OF COURSE the chevy looks like it moved further.
I hope Ford did better for 2011. CAR and DRIVER reviewed the 2010 SEL equipped with a V6 and they stated the following: "When it came to braking, though, the Ford was terrible. A stopping distance of 203 feet from 70 mph was bad enough, but we suffered fade almost immediately. The Honda needed 187 feet and didn’t suffer from fade, and a Mazda 6 V-6 on the same tires recorded 165 feet. It seems as if Dearborn has been scrimping on one of the most important systems in an automobile."
First of all, I'm not looking to buy a car to drive on the track. The brake test is completely unfair in that the Fusion was equipped with better wheels and better rubber. This makes a huge difference in stopping ability. I am on the fence as to which car to buy. That snickering little weasel driving the Fusion turns me off as there is no head-to-head comparison; just a glance at the Malibu sitting off in the distance. The Malibu is just an unpleasant piece of crap to him.
I watched another one of his videos where he knocks OnStar for navigation vs. getting the NAV system with the Fusion. Oh, he forgot to mention that you cannot get the NAV system on the base model, so you will have to buy the SEL model and pay an additional $1880.00. OK, he did mention that it is a one time cost vs. a monthly charge for the useless OnStar, however. At least someone at OnStar can send out a tow truck or medical assistance if you don't like turn-by-turn directions.
In my opinion, both cars have likes and dislikes. I'm not thrilled about the fact that Chevy ends up forcing you to buy the Compact Spare Tire and Jack Assembly for $100 and you also end up getting stuck buying the Body-Color Bodyside Moldings for $150. I doubt you will find a car on the lot without either of these options already installed. They should be included.
ha this guy is full of shit. I test drove both cars and I bought the Chevy. The Fusion was alright but the Malibu came out on top. He applied the brakes 1 sec sooner then the Malibu
to all the people talking shit about the fusion...drive both vehicles then say ford sucks. Because i have a fusion and it smokes any other car in the class. got the v6 though xP
I like the Fusion, but I'm prefectly happy with my 04 Malibu. The Malibu in my opinion is my all time favorite. Alot of power, alot of room in the trunk as well as the back seats, the breaks are excellent, the gas mileage is good for me (~22-36 mpg)(though Fusion is probably ALOT more), and the steering is very fluid. My car has electric power steering, and I kindof have a lazy driving arm because it is just rediculously easy to control. It's also EXCELLENT in snow!
Really now? This guy is just a chubby coked up used car salesman. Double wishbone suspension? I remember Jackie Mason talking about that on the old Hondas. Please Ford, get a better spokesman.
wgaf a long as it ameican made chevy ford dodge i dont care ill stay with them regardless whos the best! gm can kiss it with there bail out and dodge ford is 2nd best in america under toyota read a book da its that easy damn..............consumer reports its that easy my blood runs blue!!!!!!!!!!
i own a 95 chevy lumina, with 200,000 on it with no problems and all this doushe does is say yea fords better, whoo hoo i wanna see facts, i hate biasts competiton and ford does that in every test, FORD SUCKS BIG DICK BECAUSE THEY ARE PUSSIES WHO CANT RUN A FAIR TEST
Yeah the first turn off the straight away my o7 fusion would of hit the damn wall, the 17inch wheels with the Michlen tires don't grip for shit, i bought some 18 inch sport wheels with Nitto Neo jin's now it grips.
baaahahaha. I love you chevy guys. yes chevy makes great cars. the corvette is better than the mustang. but THE FACT IS ford makes superior vehicles. why do you think they love them in europe? why does ford run with BMW and Mercedes?
Ford rules. You can not question it. You can love your chevys. but the facts are there. go drive one, and tell yourself that chevys are better.
I want examples. I want to know why my brothers mustang GT can't take a road trip without overheating or having a fuel pump fail with only 11,XXX miles. I want to know why the ford focus I had kept breaking the cheap plastic water outlet. I work for a diesel shop, and I have lots of experience with ford truck turbo failures, drivetrain problems in cars and trucks, cursed ECU's and electrical problems galore. But please, buy ford and keep me in business! BTW, What ford runs with Mercedes?
I dont want to get in to vehicle problems especially turbos. any maker that has turbos on their motors are going to have problems period. It is just going to be endless.
About that ford running with Merc. Its actually a Loncoln( v 6) vs Merc, BMW, Jag and Aston(all v 8's) (check out 6 versus 8 speed channel video) . The only vehicle the Linc lost against was the BMW. VERY impressive for a north american car! FORD all the way.
I appreciate the braking comparison, but is that it? That is the only comparison we get to see? We have to take your word on 1:12 "Another section the Malibu would hate."
Pathetic.
If I was looking to race my mid-size family car this might be an important factor but as I am not interested in doing any such thing I will continue to prefer the smoother feeling ride of the Malibu.
Don't take my or this shill's word for it though. If you are interested in either compare them for yourself.
he is braking while turning, which puts massive stresses on the chassis. so, its really a brake and chassis test. the chassis hold up great. compared to the malibu, it is built much better. the fusion, and any new ford is very well build.
i owned a malibu, and i hated it. id take a ford over a chevy any day.
I love how someone thumbs downed you that's ignorant. I totally agree with you. My aunt just bought an 06 Malibu and I have driven it, nice ride to tell you the truth. But my dad has an 07 Fusion and it's not even close. The Fusion kicks it's ass all the way around. I own a 2000 taurus SES and it is a great car 140k and still running strong. So whoever hates on you just needs to know the facts.
This is beyond biased. I like both the Ford and Chevy, but they never even proved the Chevy was so much more inferior. And the Chevy has been acclaimed as being pretty fun.
Ford has really stepped up and has been making a lot better vehicles so has GM, I am a Ford owner and GM owner, just as long as I don't own any more POS Chryslers / Dodges.
i like how they never actually USE the chevy in these they just talk shit abou it. Lol at the ridiculous body roll of this car right after he talks about how there is no roll because of the springs...
Ford has the most wholesome approach to sales, this guy and his descriptions are almost like a 1950s ad.Unfortunately, it's also a very one dimensional often WRONG.
P.S. Ford is a Piece of crap, they have no innovation for names.
lol they chose the 4cyl for less weight in the front, more weight would add to the "plow" effect around the turns thus would make the car look like shit, notice the turn at 1:46-1:52, that was rubbish!
@Ryantravisaol no dummy the 6 is in a valve configuration wich in most cases weighs less then the 4 cyl in but it makes almost no difference ford fusion 4cyl beats malibu 4 cyl and 6cyl
@redneck9507 I seriously doubt that and which Duratec, there's two? And I would like to add that I have years experience driving both of these cars in both their 4 and 6 cylinder configurations and they are both very good cars. I work for a rental car company and would use whatever car I wanted, when I wanted. I have a lot of experience with different types of cars in both city and cross-country driving. The Fusion 4 is not faster than the Malibu 6 but probably is faster than the Malibu 4.
I own a Fusion and an Escape and love them both, I think Ford did a great job. I do agree that this guy is ridiculous. They should have at least driven the Malibu around the track. Might have made for a better video too seeing the Malibu spin out where he says it would have.
I own a ford fusion standard tranny, compare prices of accord and fusion, there is no comparison because the Honda costs thousands more, instead of the honda accord look at the altima, what a car, wish i could afford that
You know why the Honda costs slightly more? Because it KEEPS it's value and is better made compared to the fusion. Drive both trims for the same amount of miles. Then when it's time to trade them in. You will notice that the accord is wort a couple thousand more that the Fusion. And that it had a lower cost of ownership.
