  • The Ford Fusion is a car with some interesting qualities, but this version with petrol engine of 79 hp. The only thing in favor of the Ford Fusion 1.4 compared to other Ford Fusion is the price.

    Anyone who has the slightest concern about the consumer to choose the best Diesel 68 hp, which is a good engine from almost every point of view. From what we've seen in the Fiesta, the diesel engine spends much less than that of gasoline. It is not capable of accelerating the same, but it is more pleasant driving conditions favorable because it is more capable of maintaining long marches.

    Those who wait for the Ford Fusion a good response to the accelerator, even in unfavorable terms or burden, the better to choose the version of 1.6 liters and 101 hp. The difference in consumption will not be very big because this 1.4 liter spends much, in fact, approved the average consumption of 1.6 liters disadvantage is only 0.1 l/100 km. Another reason for preferring the 1.6 is the only Ford Fusion that may take control of stability.

    The body of the Ford Fusion is more positive qualities such as the space in the rear seats, which is higher than for other utilities and even that of larger cars. The boot is also big, but its irregular shape prevents something that can be easily exploiting the entire volume available.

    The worst part of the body is the driving position: no support for the left foot has a little seat that holds the body and can not have longitudinal adjustment of the steering wheel as an option.

    The suspension makes it more stable than comfortable, although there are more cars that soft more uncomfortable. Your body does not move too much, except in small pockets. As in any case, it should try before you buy it, because some people may seem like a suspension too harsh.

    What hurts the most comfort, however, is not the suspension, but the noise. On the road, at low speed makes much surface noise and high speed were imposed by the aerodynamic noise.

    The Ford Fusion is not an "urban terrain", but some quality in that sense it does. The main difference with the Fiesta and other utilities is about more diameter wheels, which make the body is slightly higher, and tires, better protected.

    The price difference between a festival and a Ford Fusion, for the same engine, is now 940 €. You may really compensate if the space in the rear seats and the versatility of the boot are necessary.

    There are also some large people carriers and versatile, with a price more or less similar. The Mazda Demi (soon replaced by the Mazda2) and the cheapest version of the Honda Jazz cost less. The Jazz should be just as slow to the Ford Fusion 1.4, but spends much less. Faster and more expensive are the Toyota Yaris Verso 1.3 VVT-i and the Mitsubishi Space Star 1.3 16V.

    The Ford Fusion is not much larger than a modern utility, which measured around 3.9 m. But it is more profitable than most of them for two reasons: space and proportions back indoors.

    Ford Fusion

    The Ford Fusion has more space where it is most needed him to do this type of car: from the back seat and the front. This is an advantage for anyone who takes passengers back and also for adults who have to accommodate children in their chairs.

    The other reason is that there is a big distance between the floor and the roof of the Ford Fusion. There are higher if measured from the seat to the ceiling, but not short of vertical space for people or high.

    The trunk is usually bulky for the size that has the Ford Fusion but its shape is irregular. You could get a box that had wide and 95 cm long and 55 cm high. That cash would have about 50 liters capacity, the rest of the luggage compartment is occupied by several holes, leaving the sides and from above (the maximum height until the tray is 62 cm).

    Ford Fusion

    The burden is on the brink of 53 cm of soil, which is very little. That makes it very convenient, for example, when carried several bags in hand or to put a very heavy object.

    Ford Fusion

    There are several possibilities to expand the trunk. You can lower rear part of the back, which is divided into two parts. In doing so, there remains a large gap between the backing and the floor of the trunk. If we want to avoid this gap, you can fold the sidewalk (also divided into two parts) before cutting the backing.

    Ford Fusion

    If strikes sidewalk and remains one step back, but can be removed by moving the union's support with the bodywork (which is made with a joint, not with a hinge). In any case, never is a completely flat floor. A 97 cm from the edge of the boot there is a small step of 5 cm, which remains even when the backup is not despondent.

    Ford Fusion

    The process to obtain the greatest possible in the trunk is as follows: move the front seats if they are over half way longitudinal, lower rear head restraints, lift and move the sidewalk back, lower back and down the backs union of the backups to the ground.

    On the relationship between seat, steering wheel and pedals, the driving position is suitable for people of varying size.

    This makes it uncomfortable because there is a good place to stop foot-flowing normally (above the clutch pedal is not a good place), and because you can not do force against the ground in the curves.

    The seat, which in the Fiesta longer subject recently, the Ford Fusion leaves the body even looser. It is a problem of form and filling, too soft. The headrest is too far from the head, which limits their effectiveness. Its function is to prevent the head from moving backward, the farther away you are, the worse.

    Ford Fusion

    The belt has height adjustment, but even at the top, is too low. In a high or a person who, without being, it likes to drive rather upright, it is too close to the shoulder. It is also something that happens in places Backdoors, even to people of short stature.

    Ford Fusion

    The Ford Fusion steering wheel has a tilt that makes it more suited to lead that of other utilities (the Peugeot 206, the Renault Clio or Seat Ibiza).

    On the road it is not necessary to connect the fan to enter enough air. Aerators of the dashboard have a very good touch and can be targeted so that it does not flow in the face or hands. A feature that is not noticed in the Fiesta is that the two outlets of the central dashboard air come out hotter than the two extremes.

    Ford Fusion

    There are several holes around the driver, but none is close enough to be made by hand the things that are no longer there. Voids the console is a little low and the glove compartment of the central dashboard is a bit far.

    Ford Fusion

    The address is not hard, but just a little slow. Turning to a diameter of 9.9 m (normal in a car well), has 3.4 turns of the wheel. Fold one corner there is a difference with cars that have three laps of driving.

    Ford Fusion

    Slows down very well and has a resistance more than enough for normal use, and enough to use a normally intense. It has antilock brakes as standard equipment and can not have stability control or optional.

    Ford Fusion

    In the test of the Ford Fiesta commented that the engine was missing strength in the Ford Fusion this is more evident because, although the differences are not large, weighs more (48 kg), has more aerodynamic drag (8 per cent) and their developments are longer than those in the Fiesta.

    Ford Fusion

    In acceleration, the Ford Fusion with 79-hp engine that has been slower than other cars of similar power, including the Daewoo Kalos. On the road, the effect of the weak capacity of acceleration requires the engine to wring maximum (accelerator depth and the limit of regime change) at times when other cars would not be so necessary. While the engine gives the maximum power to 5,700 rpm, when seeking the maximum acceleration should take him up to 6200.

    Ford Fusion

    Among the weakness of the engine and low gearing that makes the change, the fifth speed is very little usable on the road, except for flat roads cleared. In the fifth and vacuum the Ford Fusion can not climb a port that has an average gradient of 6 per cent, although it is a road wide and nearly straight.

    Ford Fusion

    At the same kind of journey, with the Fiesta spent 8.6 l/100 km and with the Ford Fusion, 8.7 (ie, virtually the same).

    Ford Fusion

    Part of the difference is because, with the Ford Fusion, in the first part of the tour tried to make the average of 150 km / h always looking for that (except in little cars potent). In the second part of the journey resigned to maintain this average, because they needed to bring the Ford Fusion too forced. The average of 144 km / h comes out to 148 in one direction and 140 in the other.

    Ford Fusion

    The maximum consumption, in rapid movement on roads with curves, was 12.7 l/100 km. Given that consumption of the Ford Fusion is not low in absolute terms, the 45-liter tank is low. The autonomy rarely spends half of 500 km.

    Ford Fusion

    Another drawback to traveling is that it is a noisy car. Up to 120 km / h noise is heard rolling over everything, especially in places Backdoors. From that speed, is imposed Noise aerodynamic.
