Dear All,
The Fusion is for the unconventional. If you enjoy the stares at the signals and you want to leave behind the crowd when the lights turn green with an engine which takes off from 0-60 in less than 5 secs, then the baby you should fall in love is with Fusion. It has got an awesome power, thanks to the Duratec engine which gives it 100+ hp, and boy is it silent!!! You do not hear the engine ticking, no growling no NOISE - and you could hear your favourite singers on the factory fitted CD player in peace.
Yes the other reviews so far had given you all that, but there had been one crib by one and all, which was also true to a great extent, which is the price of Fusion. It did seem to be over priced and the temptation to fall in line with the HERD and go for a sedan (HC) with 1.5ltr capacity would always sway the uninitiated- though the sedan is poorer by 30+ horses on the power (which incidentally also suffers from a poor steering system). BUT LET ME GIVE YOU THE GOOD NEWS - FORD IS GIVING A LOT OF DISCOUNTS - if you know how to negotiate. To let you on to a secret, I got a discount of Rs.1.10 lac on Fusion + ABS by way of free insurance and Life tax and a reduced cost of insurance. If you could bargain for this price, then this is a sweet deal with all the pluses it has on power, ride comfort, space, ground clearance, unique looks, flexibility in storage space and state of the art features (like intelligent rear wipers, programmable slow speed windscreen wipers, adjustable headlamps, remote keys, engine immobiliser, ABS, multiple power points, a superb air conditioner (incidentally AC in HC is also extremely poor), and a decent mileage both in city and on the highway.
Talking of highway, it has superb handling capabilities on the highway and the steering control and power makes overtaking a breeze and you are on, past and away before the guy realizes that a Fusion has overtaken him.
Guys, hit a bargain with the Ford dealer and you will have the beauty and the beast at your command, which you will never regret. Best of luck.
