Introduction
Quiz query: Which manufacturer produces the best-selling automobile in the U.S. 15 years ago? If you think Honda or Toyota, think again. Although there was hard to believe given the recent collapse of the U.S. auto industry in 1994, the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable highest, which proves that The united states could beat the foreign competition and to build a top-rated, best-selling relatives sedan.
Performance
Gradually Unfortunately for Ford Taurus / Sable, and programming has lost its lead from the late 1990s, Honda and Toyota have firmly re-established their dominance in the market for medium-sized sedans, and it was a Camry and the Accord Love Fest everyone. Speedy forward 10 years, and it seems that Ford is finally ready for his title again on the fire to the manufacturer for the transport of quality relatives. With the merger last updated in 2010, Ford has an beautiful medium-sized sedan, from which the competition is over a small nervous.
Fusion SEL our check automobile featured the 3.0 liter V6 option, which is now a 240 hp and 228 healthy lb-ft of torque. This is an engine that is easy to receive the melting speed and provides ample power for passing or merging. Although not as speedy as the larger 3.5-liter V6 is now found in most mid-size sedan that this engine has impressed us with his gash and was all but obsessed with satisfying the real power. The V6 is a 6-speed manual gear changes speedy and strong, hard cover, when accelerating, though downshifts are a small on the plump side. The transmission works well, keep the engine happy and has a manual mode if you need to modify gears yourself.
Before, if the merger was introduced several years to have the first evaluations of the situation a chassis, which was unfortunately a married couple have been found in high-performance engines. Both the base 2.3-liter 4-cylinder and optional 3.0-liter V6 was less inspiring, when compared to higher production of competition engines 4 a.m. to 6 p.m. cylinders. To remedy this defect, Ford offers four new engine options for the merger of 2010, including a larger 2.5L 4-cylinder engine as the core and optional 3.0L and 3.5L V6, is only the latest in sports merger .
About the disappointment that the performance is less important than the impressive fuel efficiency. Our mileage over several hundred miles of mixed driving hovered in the low 20s, which is not much better than most V6 engines and the largest merger is not a small power because of the smaller displacement engine victims. Ford 3.5L engine is also neat about the same mileage, what they ask, why even the smallest of Ford Motor provides.
Handling
The merger is 6 chassis on the first generation of the Mazda, and fortunately, plenty of inherited Zoom-Zoom now brothers and sisters. The frame is stiff and the suspension was made to compensate for the handling and ride comfort of a sedan pricey sport in Europe. Take the Fusion to an afternoon of spirited riding in the mountains and you come back with a sizable smirk on your face. Even without the stiff suspension of the Sport model is the fusion of all the drivers are not told what may for plenty of medium-sized sedans.
Our check automobile was shod with optional 18-inch wheels with low profile Goodyear tires all seasons. Although the tires, the merger would have given over bravado carving a corner, Goodyear offers unpretentious surprisingly lovely adhesion. They start to howl like a pig when he is pressed hard, but even then the automobile is still manageable. Perhaps an area that Ford could improve the treatment even better are the brakes that are capable of, but do not spectacular.
