2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid Review and Test Drive

[tnguyen318]

When I have Money I will buy me all these cars. They are the most fuel efficient Hybrid cars in the market right now.

1. Honda Civic Hybrid.

2.  Ford Fusion Hybrid.

3. Chevrolet Volt Plug-in Hybrid.

4. Toyota Prius Plus-in Hybrid.

[TheJoCor]

Thanks for such a thorough review.

[EugeneVanDerMill]

what about the battery lifetime? when do they have to be replaced?

[rockbay79]

Great review! I like this car, just wish I had the cash to buy one. :(

[animefan2k9]

hydraulic hybrid would been better.

[gcavy1]

You're right, that's basically what's happening. But considering the CVT does it for you...seamlessly at that, and most drivers seem to prefer automatics these days, I think it work well.

[TheReapersSon]

Wouldn't it be better to couple a hybrid system to a manual transmission and implement a charging system when you switch to a lower gear and decelerate? I'm still not sold on CVT transmissions yet.

[proberto0143]

#fordfusion never more!!!

[TheMrGaMeRdUdE]

@RandomYTProductionda battery charges every time you brake

[Someoneyoudontknow13]

you're such a cool guy

[TheMrGaMeRdUdE]

well the electric power act like a turbo and its true i test drived 1 yesterday its got some jump

[iDiggMGL]

I love my Fusion Hybrid! I got all of the bells and whistles minus the leather (eww) and it's the best car I could've asked for. This was also a good review. If only Ford put MyFord Touch in them.

[639426]

it looks cool, but ford its interior looks like every other car, all plastic u know, nissan altima and maxima they have a much sportier sexier look in the interior

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

This is why American have the worst taste in design. The chrome looks cheap like it's of a kid's play thing.

[tzbnks]

this car is annoying to insure. depending on your age and driving history it can almost cost as much to insure as to buy or lease

[ajetha786]

when does this come to the uk?

[purline100]

TvbLOVER1  - probably thinking of the Toyota Prius, which gets better mileage. The HS250h might look better but gets about 5 mpg less than the Fusion.

[arfc123]

Great info.....shame the videography is so poor:{

[TvbLOVER1]

kinda stole the lexus HS250h look... stupid ford. the HS250h still looks better and it is more fuel efficient !

[Greendude33]

Are you stupid?

Just another typical douche bag that cant handle the fact that american cars are back.

At least the Ford wont kill you with a stuck gas pedal.

[TvbLOVER1]

you're just stupid... that problem has been fixed fool.. LEXUS > ford.

[Greendude33]

Ford competes with toyotas douche bag and it never has had any throttle problems.

as for Lexus they have to worry about the new Buick Lacrosse rated higher by every major independent auto study.

[TvbLOVER1]

.... i'm talking about the HS250h foo. Stupid douche bag... I never knew americans were like this..

[Greendude33]

Sorry but its clearly evident the Jap cars are on a decline where as American ones are getting better each year.

Sorry you're just in denial.

[mehiael]

@Greendude33 WOW. you do know that that these new hybrid systems for ford are exported out of japan...talk about being a "american."

The reason why american cars are getting better is because they are getting help from european and japanese auto makers. Like GM from germany and China. And Ford from Japan and Mazda.

America is just a bunch of copiers.

[MrJackanthony]

Hey. Uhm I was actually thinking of going with lexus, so can you give me an honnest unbiased opinion? Have you had any trouble with their cars or do you have proof of their failures? Thanks. (dont want to risk my life just because lots of reviews say the car is good)

[MrJackanthony]

By the way Im a teen and this will be my first car.

[purline100]

You're probably confusing the Prius with the HS250h. The Lexus does about 5 mpg worse than the Fusion. The Prius does better, though it's a smaller car.

[NitroGadvRules]

@TvbLOVER1 ford has been using that three bar design for years.

[jfdyj]

wait you dont even look that tall but it looks like your head has no room ...is this true?

[gcavy1]

@jfdyj I'm about 5' 8", but I tend to raise my seat quite a bit. This model was equipped with the moonroof, which cuts down on headroom some, but its about average.

[TheMrGaMeRdUdE]

@jfdyj my dad is 6' 4'' and he fits fine

[TheMrGaMeRdUdE]

@jfdyj my dad is 6'4" and he fits fine



[doyle1900]

Toyota's prius is the best there is but toyota needs to fix their technical problems

[sweetwater88]

Prius also doesn't make Toyota profit. Which is why it's the only one in the market currently. Because there's no money in to right now. Soon, yes, which is why everyone, including Ford is readying up a dedicated hybrid.

[helorm341]

Lol you sound like a real dumbass now. Yeah buy a 2010 hybrid camry! The quality is so good trhat the car drives itself.... into lakes and oncoming cars killing passengers/innocent drivers of quality cars (aka non-toyota)

[xTheBOISx]

this is one of the better reviews I came across on youtube. Very informative! Good job!

[bg1379]

I am really finding it hard to love the interior of the Fusion. Especially with this tan color, it just looks incredibly bland. It needs either stronger contrasts with the steering wheel and dash, or some faux wood or something. The Milan's two-tone contrasting interior is much better, though the very feminine front styling would be a turnoff for me.

[jvolstad]

Except for the sun roof (does anyone really use those?) it is a great car. My 6'5" frame fits nicely in the car. I could do without the leather as well.

[Betteryear2007]

El modelo fusion es muy cuadrado la verdad es muy feo...

[santirao]

thank you for your detailed and helpful review.

[C4SSIExo]

wow ford has done a really nice job on this one...that or you should go into advertising.

one question though... butt warmers?

[jsnhart]

that was a very helpful review thanks alot

[orangelabel]

Great review ... simple and informative

[gcavy1]

thanks for watching!

-Greg

[flyerholland]

all i can say,.. ford is doing ASESOME

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

thats a cheap ugly ass front bumper

[gcavy1]

very poetic....

[JeffH1965]

looks like a plastic bumper cover... like 99% of cars now made also have. I think the car looks great, front bumper looks pretty normal

[bajabusta]

another amazing review! thank you!

[robm115]

Excellent review. I just wanted to clarify one point that Greg mis-spoke. On the Empower version of the instrument cluster, there is a gauge called "ACC". This is not Acceleration as he said a few times. From the Owners Manual: This gauge indicates electrical power demands from your vehicles accessory systems. Accessories such as air conditioning, headlights, and radio use power but

do not contribute to propelling the vehicle.

[gcavy1]

thanks for the correction and thanks for watching! :)

[jfdyj]

@gcavy1 I know this is a stupid question but im only 17 and I like this car but I do not know anything about driving hybrids? how is it different than driving non hybrids? are hybrids still capable of going fast as non hybrid cars?

[gcavy1]

@jfdyj thanks for checking out the video. The Fusion is really no slower than any other 4-cylinder family sedan. Its not a rocket, but its comparable to vehicles in its class

[jfdyj]

thanks

[MrJackanthony]

Hi. Are hybrids really suitable for teens? lol stupid question I guess, also would you recommend this as a first car?

[hellcat320]

I really dont see what age has to do with what car you want. I drive a turbo B16A equip honda civic SiR running 12s on 1/4mile and still street driven. but i picked one of these up for my DD and it does just want i want. awesome on gas cheap on insurence. i get the best of both worlds you really need two cars if you want to go fast and get good gas mileage.

[MrJackanthony]

@hellcat320 Thanks for your input. I got a stroke of luck, My grandparents are willing to pay for an automobile. I'm going with a lexus gs450h.

[hellcat320]

your welcome, good luck with the toyota!

[MrJackanthony]

@hellcat320 thank you. YOu weren't being sarcastic were you:)

[hellcat320]

@MrJackanthony nah I wasent being sarcastic. its a toyota but Lexus' are all built in north america, correct?

[MrJackanthony]

@hellcat320 Yeah. Also a lexus is nothing like a toyota(Handling intiriors etc) I guess that's why its called a luxury division. I have driven allions the camry and yaris a few times plus I test drove the gs450 so I know.

Regards.

[hellcat320]

governed at 108mph so it can go as fast as your really going to want to go on the street. clearly its not a track car so nobody cares about going that fast. acceleration sucks but if you want to go 0-60 in sub 5s your A: not looking for gas mileage and B: not looking for a hybrid. this car does 0-60 in 8.5mph which is plenty for what its designed to do, which is go far, not fast.

[hellcat320]

0-60 in 8.5s not mph lol
