How Does the Ford Fusion Hold Up 10 Years Later?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- When the CD4 platform Fusion was released for the 2013 model year, it was a car that gained a lot of popularity for providing not only an economical sedan but one with options for more performance as well. We saw that opportunity and desire for more performance at Steeda and got to work developing a number of parts for the platform. Today, more than 10 years later and a few years after the Fusion was canceled for the US market, those parts are still holding up on this particular vehicle. So with over 220,000 miles on the vehicle, how have these mods helped not only the performance but the longevity of the Fusion?

I pretty much got everything Steeda offer for the 2.0
The platform handled really well for a saloon. The 2.0L ecoboost engine pulled hard enough with a little bit of lag if the current vs target speed delta was large. The 2.0L ecoboost engine had V6 fuel economy.
Nice! I have a 2017 Titanium with the 2.0T. I recently got Steeda springs and have had my eye on the CAI. Now I’m thinking about the strut tower brace and rear sway bar. This car is my daily and I want to make it more fun to drive. Thanks for the video! 😎
Just do it!! You won’t regret it.
The steeda rear sway bar was the best mod I did to my 2013, it took corners like a champ
I have Ford Fusion 2017, and I love my car 😊😊😊😊
Strut tower brace, and I put the jacking rails on mine as well handles great. Haven't done the rear seat bar yet, but it's on the list
I had a 13 1.6 eco with a big fiesta st turbo, intercooler upgrade and custom dp. It also had some steeda goodies like the steeda strut tower bar 🙌🏽 EDIT: there is a tuning option go with torrie from unleashed
I currently own a 2013 Ford Fusion. These Car’s are awesome for a daily driver. I have a 2.5 Definitely the slowest out of the Bunch but the most Reliable which is awesome. Definitely worth investing money into it
Which is the faster one? 2.0 t or the 2.7 or a different one?
@@LilswolledBrah The 2.7 is overall the best. Twin turbo V6, Awd quick Sleepers
Have a 17 2.0 Ecoboom Titanium. At 35000 miles the engine light came on during a trip to Georgia. When we got back to sw Florida took it to Ford. Bottom end, the short block had to be replaced. Apparently a cooling path issue between the cylinders was a design flaw. Was replaced with a 18 and over short block that had an improved cooling path. Also drive shafts are weak on these. Have gone through a couple in only 61000 miles. We get asked if we r spinning the wheels (burnouts), my wife is not the type (her car). Fuel economy is not great, would’ve been more reliable and just as economical with a good NA V6. Only thing saving us is an extended warranty which is up soon. The car goes before that. And it wasn’t just us, my son owned a 17 Platinum. He had 2 trans rebuilds, driveshafts, and the ecoboom issue 2 times!! The second time they used the 18 and over block and was ok after. But he got rid of the car quickly after. And no, we are on top of maintenance so it wasn’t lack of care.
I’m sure your parts are fine but the Fusion platform and the reliability are not.
What wheel specs? Thanks
I wpuld support if i had a Fusion. Do you guys have any thing compatible with a 2016 MKC 2.0 EcoBoost?
Have a 16 Fusion SE 2.5L with tech and cold weather packages. Pretty good car. I have a bunch of your suspension and chassis parts. I have H&R springs and a K&N intake. The one thing I wish I could find out is if any of the aftermarket motor mounts that were made will work on the 2.5L when they all say 1.5/1.6/2.0 and then the 2.7TT. I could have gotten a Titanium 2.0T AWD, but at the time I wanted something I wouldn't modify. I did it anyway....just no IC, no exhaust, no DP, no tune, no turbo upgrade...I was able to cut myself off and only spend a little of what I would normally spend. The 2.5L is slow but it's reliable. My 14 Cruze 1.4T is a bit quicker because it's a few hundred pounds lighter and has a bunch of bolt-ons...no turbo and no turbo planned for it).
It looks good being slightly lower with aftermarket wheels and tint...it's not fast or even quick...but I'm fine with that. Really disappointed that they don't have any other cars though...would consider another Ford if they had cars...maybe a Mustang would work for me, but only an Ecoboost.
Check out DIY Bushing maker I’ve used it to make custom mounts for my SHO, did my drivers side trans mount, and did the control arm mounts which REALLY made the car feel tight and responsive when I turned the wheel, and no bump steer.
@@402SHO yeah I did make one using a factory mount but it’s not much better.
@@Mike.Macmyazka I legit can’t even type the name of the website without Steeda’s or UA-cam’s stupid comment thing taking it down INSTANTLY
@@Mike.Macmyazka DIY LIQUID URETHANE ENGINE AND MOTOR MOUNT MAKER. The name of the place is Suspension
What issues have had with the car ?
Had a Map sensor go out, I've replaced the motor mounts and valve cover gasket. But that's it. Only on our second set off brake pads also. Love the car.
Just a good set of tires would do it. No added useless accesories.
Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. God bless you. 🤍🤍🤍💌🤍🤍🤍Thank you. Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 🤍
