2015 Ford Mondeo Review
2016 Ford Mondeo Review
Looking to get a 2013-2016 Fusion Titanium as a daily. Mainly will be a commuter and road trip car. I used to rent these back when I worked at Avis / Budget and i was obsessed with them. Watching this review lets me know im making the right choice. Currently driving a 17 Focus ST.
Wow I can't believe it's been three years! Now the Fusion is gone!😭
5 years now
Awesome review man! I am looking into buying one of these and this really helped to see ALL the features like as if I was in the car myself. Nice job!
Nice review. I have a 2015 Fusion SE Hybrid. My experience with fuel economy overall has been EXCELLENT! I've been driving since May 30th and so it's been about 8 months. This is what I discovered driving here in the New England region. Between May and October, warmer months, my average mileage was 50+ mpg. I have noticed diminishing mpg in cold weather, which is not uncommon. Even still, in single digit temperatures I'm averaging mid to high 30's mpg. My driving is mostly highway, which in the hybrid is less efficient (44 city - 41 highway). Since I drive about 60 miles per day this has been a huge savings in fuel compared to the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan, 6 cyl, 4.0 I was driving. Love this car and all of the base features that came with it. As far as my complaints, I have three. I'm a big man and the seats are pretty narrow, even for an average person. Secondly, the trunk space is small because it's a hybrid. In fairness, I opted for the hybrid and that's the package deal so it was my choice to trade off, but be advised. Lastly, I have no spare tire! That is a real issue. The salesman never mentioned this fact and I didn't think to ask when I bought it. Luckily I haven't yet had a flat, but I wouldn't want to realize this when I'm on the side of the road scratching my head! I'd be willing to give up some of that great mileage and limited trunk space for a spare tire. I believe the Energi model also is lacking a spare.
+Michael Colvin Thank you! Yes the hybrids get excellent mileage! Pretty normal for it to go down when it is cold outside as the the vehicle will use the gas engine more then the battery.
Best review on any car I have seen. Debating between Fusion, Optima, (& of course Camry and Accord) It would be my first car purchase as an adult & i want whatever I get to last. I am 6ft1in and my lady is 5ft1in so your comment about height was indeed helpful!Thanks for the vid.
PS GO STEELERS!!!!!
+Micah Givens Thank you ! and thanks for watching :) I still have the car and I still love it, this is the 1 year update I have done if you're interested in watching ua-cam.com/video/kOXGFL_tc-c/v-deo.html
Camry all the way.
I own the 2014 Fusion titanium AWD version. There are a couple things you may want to change or look out for. The steering may develop a loud knock turning the wheel all the way to the left or right (something that was told to me at the dealer is that the part cost about 1200 dollars (shady ass dealership); even though the car is under a 7 year 75,000 mile warranty). I was slotted to get that fixed at one of the dealerships in Opelika, Alabama. They weren't fixing my car with new parts they were just placing a band-aid on it and stated they placed new parts on the car. Ford HQ also informed me that the dealerships are independent in which they do not keep up with what orders and parts that are replaced on each car at their HQ. You would think they would want to know that information instead of just trusting the dealer to give them the information. That way they would have an idea of which parts are failing more than others. That is a different story altogether.
The next thing is the sound systems rear deck speakers aren't well designed. They have a thin bezel surrounding them so they will pop and/or bust even with the bass and mid range bass down. I was getting that replaced and the mechanics also stated that is the main speakers out of the Sony systems that they have to replace. Go aftermarket and the Ohm for those speakers are rated at 2.3 Ohms. You can use 4 Ohms speakers they just have more resistance and may not be as loud. You also may notice a knock behind the firewall (may just be my car) and it can be heard with no electronics on and seem to only happen when the car is in drive with the ebreak on and at full stop at traffic light. It may have been the dealer I went to here in Alabama. I never notice the noise until going to that dealer.
I usually do my own maintenance on my car since I had a lift at on the base I stayed at but I currently have no car lifts that I could rent to do the preventative maintenance on the car. Ford states that preventative maintenance can be done by owner and oil change you just have to keep the receipts if you do not want to deal with stupidity at their HQ of warranty going void. That is only if a parts that are not OEM are the cause for failures within the car. They have to prove the aftermarket part is at fault. Since I have a 7 year warranty I will use the OEM parts with my personal certified Ford mechanic. Lately I have been in search and have found some home use lifts so I can check to see what the fuck that sound is coming from behind the firewall. Other than that the car is awesome. I have 22,190 miles from brand new (0 miles) fully loaded except for the sunroof. Also use Fully synthetic oil in the car. At the dealer they will charge more for that oil but you can just buy the oil yourself. Also since I was in the military oversea I got a huge discount on the car that is one of the reasons that I chose this car over a German made car (German cars have too much plastic within their engines and your slaved to always go to their dealers within the US). Also the fact that there should be more after market parts for the Ford than any other car manufacture within the price range of the Fusion. So that mean sometimes cheaper and better made part than the OEM parts.
I may post videos of upcoming maintenance that I will do with my car (normal shit) if I have the time. Also a few major things, getting it on a dyno is first just to see if it is running rich or lean and delivering the power it is rated for after 20,000 plus miles. I just have to drive to Atlanta since their aren't many AWD dyno systems within my area.
I really like your car review videos. This is the 3rd one I've stumbled across and I enjoy your "un-bias". You definitely cover it all.
Thank you !
Thanks Mike with AutoVlog! I have been watching your videos while doing research on the Ford Fusion Titaniums with AWD. Happy to say I just purchased a 2014 certified pre-owned in Dark Slate, and freaking love it! Keep putting out these videos, they're great!
Thanks! Glad I could help :)
Nice review - I purchased a 16' Titanium in deep impact blue with the 19's and heated/cool sport seats. Love the car - absolutely beautiful!
Kyle Quitter Awesome man! It looks good in the Blue color with the wheels :) Congrats !
Mikes Auto Reviews Thanks - just broke 150 miles on it this week. It looks like your MPG came up from the start of the video. I have the new style radio panel and after seeing what the older stereo looks like I'm sure glad I didn't end up with it.
Kyle Quitter My highway MPG actually gets better then the official ratings now :) I have gotten 32mpg before so I'm happy about that.. the city driving is not improving though ;) Yes the 16's panel with the buttons are so much better.. wish I had that
Good information. You covered all the stuff I would be interested in. I especially appreciated the the part about the real world acceleration and gas mileage, and the detailed review of the my touch system.
+Darryl Bryant (DWB301) Thank you !
There's been some debate on this, but my dad has been a mechanic for 40 years, and I don't dispute his advice. I purchased a K&N for my EcoBoost, and as soon as I told him about it, he told me to remove it. The turbo charged engines really pull on the oil on those filters and will create a coating on the Mass Airflow Sensor. This can cause a negative impact on your fuel economy. The best factory air filter replacement is the Wix high airflow paper filter. Hope that helps!
Dan Wyke Thank you for the advice !
Auto Vlog I wanted to follow up after a little research and consultation. The 2.0L EcoBoost actually uses MAP sensors, not MAF sensors. These sensors measure actual air pressure, instead of air flow across a charged wire, like the MAF. That being said, oiled filters should be safe to use with an EcoBoost, as long as they are not over-oiled when serviced.
+Dan Wyke Over oiled and not let dry filters are Terrible on any engine. Its always a good idea to have two filters so when u clean one and let dry u are covered.
My friend has this same car and recently got the Steeda cold air intake which has had some excellent reviews. It adds another additional 20 hp but the best part is the MPG increases to 28 - 32.
A must for the EcoBoost engines seems to be the catch can /oil separator. Very important if u plan on keeping the car past 40k miles.
+Phantom096 Thanks for the tips! I plan on doing some upgrades to my Fusion in the coming year, one of those being an upgraded intercooler and cold air intake. I will definitely invest in the oil catch as well.
I have a Black 2013SE, with appearance package. includes rear spoiler and the 5 star rims. Also has the 2.0 turbo. 39,000 miles. I absolutely love the car.
Agree! Fun to drive and after years you will see the stability of the construction lasts.
my 2014 ford fusion hybrid has 43vk miles and i love it
mike mcdonough
Great review. Really nice to see/hear from an actual owners pov. I have nearly the identical 2013 model (or as close as possible for 2013). 2.0L FWD, however about the same gas mileage, really disappointed on that part. Everything else is fantastic on the fusion. I'm actually considering upgrading the "FUSION" door sill plates to the illuminated ones for that extra night time edge lol. Although I wish I had seen your review before I purchased it 2 weeks ago, I'd have bought it anyway. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Devin Mangan ! I appreciate that :) I was actually able to get 31 on a highway drive recently so Im happy about that :) City driving... still sucks lol
I just bought a 2015 fully loaded Titanium AWD in Magnetic over black at the beginning of June. Love the look of the car. Mine has all the options possible I think. Got a great deal on it between the X-Plan, rebates and 0% financing. So far I'm happy with it, but I have a few complaints in the first 800 miles: 1. The MyTouch interface requires a very heavy touch to work it. Not very sensitive at all. 2. My gas mileage has been abysmal averaging about 18 MPG babying it around town, but many reports online say they take awhile to really break in and do get better, but you'll never get what the sticker says. 3. The large trunk has a small oddly shaped opening that makes getting boxes and suitcases into it a challenge. 4. The touch to lock/unlock handles have stopped working twice so far and this is a common problem if you google it. Mine have reset by driving it around the block. Weird problem that Ford can't fix yet. 5. The electronic steering and brakes tend to never feel the same if you are an intune driver. The brakes are very soft at times and then feel pre-charged at others when they shouldn't be. You can never get a feel for peddle consistency. The steering with the lane assist activated feels completely disconnected from the wheels. You have to constantly correct to stay straight in the lane. Almost like you are fighting the lane assist all the time. With it deactivated, it still feels like it has no feedback, but not completely disconnected. The highlights include amazing seats that are super comfortable and the cooling is great. Wish it cooled the back portion too though. When needed, the car scoots and the power level is quite adequate for the car. On the road it drives very nice with just enough stiffness in the shocks to not feel wallowy, but yet not to harsh over pavement breaks even with the factory 19's. Very roomy inside and extremely quiet over the road as well. The Sony sound system is very good for a factory unit. I'm just hoping the MPG really picks up a lot over the next 1000 miles or so.
Joel Hinkle Congratulations on your purchase! I have actually started to get really good HIGHWAY mpg.. at 32mpg at times.. so I'm happy about that, will do a update video on that in the near future.. When it comes to the touch to lock feature I haven't had any issue with it at all.. I love it :) Regarding the Lane Keeping feature, I opted out of that when I was getting mine, I just find it annoying lol.
Mikes Auto Reviews Don't worry, you'll get to experience failure of the touch handles. It's quite common and extremely random. Like I said though, the cure seems to be driving it around the block from most peoples experience. I love them too, but when they are all of a sudden non responsive, it's a huge pain. I haven't had a chance to drive mine on any highway trips to see what it will get for MPG. Been stuck just going back and forth to work in it. Worst case scenario, but I was expecting to at least get the 21 rating from it. As it stands currently, my girlfriends Charger R/T with the hemi is getting far better MPG than I do and I honestly wish I would have considered the 2014 R/T AWD I found still brand new on a lot.
14:30 - LOL... the filter does nothing on your fuel consumption (or power). Your friend should pay you for the bad advice.
Anyway, thanks for the honest review!
I had an AWD 4 cylinder Element that got me 16mpg when the approximate for city was 19mpg. Seems AWD drains the petrol. Beautiful car
Update review! 1 year later - ua-cam.com/video/kOXGFL_tc-c/v-deo.html
+AutoVlog I rented A 2016 Ford Fusion a month ago and took it to Lake Arrowhead Ca drove it from Los Angeles, I really enjoyed driving it, not as smooth as the 2016 Toyota Camry but smooth enough, I'm thinking of buying one in a few months when I pay off my highly mechanic shop unfriendly Audi A4
+blueshirt06 Lol! Yeah I think you would be happy with the Fusion.. I don't care how "smooth" a Camry is I would never own one, they have to attitude what so ever, not a knock a Toyota at all as they make great cars, the camry is just so boring
+AutoVlog l do think that the Camry looks boring like a box but I thought the drive was quiet and smooth but the fusion has a great looking body,very nice interior and fun to drive Its also American and we should support our cars both Chevy and Ford are making some good cars
Peter Briganti I'm not sure about the fusion in the states maybe its made in Mexico but I know the fusion in Europe is made in Spain last I heard the Accord and the Altima are made in the South Atlanta Georgia but not 100% sure
+Peter Briganti They make most of these cars in other countries too. What's your point?
hey! I have a 2015 fusion s that I added a lot of those fetures in after I bought it.....ford body shop did rear wing and lights and the disappearing lock buttons on the drivers door like all my trucks had.....then the ford garage put in the cooled seats! free!! that was awesome! always had ford trucks...this is my 1st car and I love it! it has one cold ac system! it can be 102 outside and it freezes me out of it! lol those seats get cold!! but living in the south u need cool! lol im in tampa now and the car is doing great!! have fun with your fusion! ford will put anything u want in it! lol
Jeff Thomas Nice !
I have a 2015 SE with the 2.0L Echoboost FWD. I have the light leather. The problem with the light leather is, if you wear jeans, they will stain the leather. The blue stains are very difficult to get out. You need to clean them every other week.
I had a 2013 with the 1.6L Echoboost. The 2.0L is way better. It is quieter and if you put it in sport mode, it is real fun to drive. The gas mileage does suffer when I moved to the 2.0L. I was getting 37MPG HWY between Raleigh and Philly with the 1.6L. With 2.0L, I get 32MPG on the same trip. The 2.0L is way more quieter. I currently have over 18K miles on my 2015 and have not had any problems. The 2013 was not as reliable. I should know better than buy a first year of a new model.
Thanks for the review. Let me first apologize for hitting the 'report comment' link by error. I'm reading and typing from my iPhone and hitting buttons by mistake. I loved the review. I recently got a 15 Fusion Titanium. I totally agree on the gas mileage. I only have 1800 miles so far. Do you think the fuel consumption will get any better? I traded a 14 Explorer and it gets much better mileage!! Other than that, the car is beautiful.
Nice review. I hated the turn signals when I had this car, they never blinked through the actual turn! I also always had my phone connected through the bluetooth stereo to listen to my music but because the skip button and phone end button are one in the same, I would constantly ignore calls on accident because they came in at the same time I was skipping a track, that was super irritating too!
Nice car , i bought the same titanium awd last week.
jack32322 Nice ! Congrats !
Just found your channel. Have a 2011 Ford Mondeo Titanium X Sport here in the UK. Think that Ford are missing a trick not having a sports model in this range. Great videos, by the way! Keep them coming.
+Dom K They are coming out with a Sport this year :)
great review best I've seen
+chuy25 Thank you !
I have a 2010 Ford Fusion SE 2.5 w/ Sport Appearance Package in red candy tinted clearcoat and I love it. Average upwards of 30 mpg mostly city, which is great, but thinking about getting myself a new fusion and my other half a 2013 escape, looking forward to test driving the new ones.
+Zach Travers - You'll love it, i get 30mpg, but I also have the 2.0 turbo. Good fun and passing ability. Funny thing is, I downsized from an 06 Navigator, in comparison the Fusion feels like a sports car.
+Nate TheDaddy It kinda IS a sports car!
Rene1935 - Yeah I love it, but sports car it is not. When you drive a real sports car it doesn't compare. I'm just immersed in daddyland and have been driving large vehicles for quite a while. I had a 89 5.0 when I was younger and it wasn't any faster than my Fusion, except for the punch at takeoff. If you take a ride in say one of those new Lexus is350 or and even better BMW 335, you'll feel what a sports sedan really feels like, those are scary fast.
+Nate TheDaddy Of course, there are "sporty" cars and "SPORTS" cars. My neighbor has an Audi R8 (mid-engine) coupe, and THAT is a "SPORTS" car!
However, among the sport sedan class, which covers really practical vehicles that you can travel in, even with rear seat passengers, and even provides a nice 16 cubic foot trunk, the late model Fusions hold their own against much more expensive cars. Take it out on some mountain roads, and it will not frighten you like a lot of cars will. It sticks to the road while being pushed, and still remains quiet and comfortable.
Rene1935 - Sweet, I will soon get that chance. I'm moving from Detroit to Atlanta, and will be doing the back and forth thing quite a bit next winter/spring, because my family is remaining in Michigan until school lets out. So, I'll get to see how it performs on the road coming up.
Thank dude im looking at this exact same car color and everthing. It really helped with my buyibg decision.
+Auto Vlog. The gas millage is not going to get better i have the 2014 ford fusion SE Trim with 30+K Miles on it a stock air box with the k&n filter isn't a good idea i went with the steeda cold air intake and i just upgrade my exhaust system to magnaflow it helps with the gas millage i suggest you upgrade ur ride and tune it for better performance also.
Joe Gotti Garcia Thanks for the tip, my highway mileage has actually gotten better.. city mileage is another story.. ;)
Lol i know what are you talking about city mileage sucks but mine has increase by 3% with all the mods i have done to my fusion,do some mods to yours Auto Vlog you need em'
+Joe Gotti Garcia What kind of tuning do u use? Cause now Steeda is using the hand held SCT tuner which to me is one of the best and worth the money? Also the SCT is used for all tuning upgrades u may need in the future. My friend got the Steeda cold air intake without tune and loves it.
Also what do u think about the catch can/ oil separator? According to some ford mechanics its becoming a must for these EcoBoost engines.
+Joe Gotti Garcia With your exhaust upgrades did u remove the cat?
If not can u remove it and not have that damn check engine light on. I know the SCT tuner removes that light on the Mustangs. The thing is a damaged cat can overheat and kill your turbo
+Joe Gotti Garcia - My 2014 SE with the 2.0 reads 28.5mpg. When I take a long freeway drive it goes up past 30 normally.
Love this. Huge fan of your vids.
+Shaker AutoGroup Thank you !
Great review keep up the good work. Hope to see more videos
Black420style Thank you !
I have the same car just in the tectonic color. I agree with everything you said. Were your comments at 8:45 because of my comments in the past lol. Don't you think it's disappointing that this is the one the slowest cars that ford makes outside of the commercial segment even though it's the sportiest looking and in one of the sportiest segments. I mean the horsepower to weight ratio is a problem compared to like the optima sx turbo. It has 34 more horsepower and weighs less I've driven it and it's a solid amount quicker than the fusion. This car should have had a sport model a long time ago. In my opinion this car is perfect, power train aside. Gas mileage is pretty poor for me as well I drive sportier and get like 19 miles per gallon. Gas mileage will not change. My friend has a 13 fusion with 30000+ miles and his gas mileage is around 20 as well. Another comment of mine as well is that since it doesn't have that much power I find that passengers slow down the car more noticeably than in other cars that I've driven. Ford should have had an engine like the 2.3 ecoboost to handle the extra heft of the awd and added drive train loss to the titanium at 3750 pounds...
ElpresadorsBrother Correct man, I have been thinking about why the Fusion does not have a sport model at the moment.. AND, my friend and I were just talking about the 2,3L Ecoboost thats in the Mustang would be perfect to put in the Fusion! I think something like that will happen next year.. will be cool to see what unfolds ! Regarding the gas mileage.. guess I will just have to suck it up lol ;)
ElpresadorsBrother I reading your guys comments about the poor mpg, and I dunno, here in Hawaii A/C on 24/7 my SE do about 48/52 mpg cruise control on 55 mph.
kanedafx1 You got a hybrid ? lol
Mikes Auto Reviews no, SE ecoboost.
+kanedafx1 No way you're getting 52 MPG in a Fusion Ecoboost. No way.
Thanks for the review. I think you "touched base" 100 times
+hank22 Probably
AutoVlog a
he really did touch, its crazy to think where you started from. Well done Mike 👏
PS. Mr Cleans Magic Eraser !! Magic Eraser will take the marks out of the seat. (Magic Eraser takes everything out, even makeup, which I would know a little about.)
Thanks for the pro's and con's of the Fusion. I'm not sure if you know this or not but every manufacturer and every model car made has pro's and con's. They don't make a perfect car yet. Wish they did.
I didn't know that!?? Wow what an epiphany! I'll have to re think my whole life after your comment......
You know what people are trying to create an impression that i made a big mistake of buying '2015 ford awd titanium' over honda,toyato and nissan. Honestly none of the other brands offers ALL the features I want compared to my fusion in great PRICE. Iam not hating other brands , but truly for fusion is the BEST family sport sedan you can get. Also my dealer gave abig rebates which means i saved many grands too. Cheers to whoever is owning fusion. And for others try riding once before you comment.
Forget about what others say Ford has really did a wonderful job with the Fusion I have always like them, and this car here is just sexy, stylish as hell, and sleek what more can you ask for in waiting for the redesign and upgrade if Ford can top this 2013-2015 design I'll surly buy it. Toyota is okay, Honda is okay.. this car let's be vibe to your own beat it stands out and holds its own # GO FORD
J&M yup, agreed
+J&M Totally agree. I own a 2016 Fusion AWD Titanium and it is a fabulous car. People are just ignorant and biased when it comes to Ford and they don't even bother to drive the car. This isn't the 70's and 80's anymore people. This is a great car. Before you actually comment on the car why don't you actually drive it first.
+Ron Smith yes, I just got a 2016 as well and quality has really gone up on Ford vehicles. And I actually liked the fusion over the accord and I know Hondas are great but as you said we're not on the 80s or 90s, I'm pretty sure that after ford almost went bankrupt they really step their game and started building more practical and reliable cars.
I love my 2014 se Fusion, I also have almost everything as the titanium except heated steering wheel and sony sound system, I got the microsoft sound system which i found it nice too. (Just my opinion).
+THE ASSASSIN - They almost got me to pay that extra 1500 bucks for the mytouch, glad i didn't. I kind of like the responsiveness of the old school buttons. Building a system for it now, with a signal processor and a 6 channel amp, also using the 6x9 holes in back for more lows and surround sound. Should put the titaniums sony system to shame at 1/4 the money.
Nate TheDaddy Awesome!!!
THE ASSASSIN - Yeah, soon as I get some time off from work and have a couple days to get on it, I am. Been researching my options on speakers, and I've just about settled on CDT gold-series 6x9 subs for the rear and Infinity reference components for the doors and MB quart 5 ch amp. Should be done by late October, I'll post pics and may do a video (never have done before). I think it'll be helpful, as in my research I only come across Taurus owners who have done similar to this.
I have the fully loaded Titanium and love how it drives, however the gas mileage is not good. I. took a 200 mile all freeway drive and only got 26.4 mpg.. Also the navigation system is a headache, compared to my 2008 Toyota Camry. Its rumored that Ford gave up on the present My Ford Touch system and comes out with the much user friendly "Sync3". Still this is a beautiful looking and driving car, a lot of pep for the turbo 4.. The active park is a hoot and lane keeping monitor is very helpful.
Michael Barron I hear ya about the gas mileage. Although I was actually able to get to 31 mpg on the highway the other day on a highway trip so maybe its on the good side now:) Yes Ford is coming out with the Sync 3 system this year, it will be nice to see how that system compares to the My Ford Touch as I have not had any problem with the Navigation system only the legginess in the actual touching of the screen.
Good to see. I've only got 3800 miles on it and maybe the mpg will improve, but I still love the pep it has and also the quiet cabin.
who is here after he bought Ferrari f12?
Really nice review. I made a decision to wait for my next vehicle to be the Focus RS however the Fusion has been growing on me as I have had several of them for rentals now. My main concern has been the lack of a true sport model for the 15/16 years. I appreciate as well you showing the difference between the instrument panels of the 15/16. I too prefer physical buttons rather than that tpuch style panel garbage. To me the touch controls make autos look like cheap toys. Another example is on the CUE system in the ATS and CTS. I have not had the opportunity to try the manual when it was offered unfortunately. I have been researching and it sppears there are some tuning options available out there that can add upwards of 35hp/65tq to the wheels and still be in the warranty. The fuel economy seems to also be a sore spot for the ecoboost line in general.
AR TAUER Thank you for your comment :) Yes, I am waiting/expecting a Fusion Sport model to be arriving for the 2017 model year. It would be a very nice and awaited upgrade for the Ford Fusion, I do not see a reason for Ford to not put the 2.3L Ecoboost engine with 310HP that they currently have in the Mustang!
If you're leasing it makes no difference, but if you buy, I'd recommend turning the auto seat thing off. I had it in my old Navigator and it wears the motor out, from too much use. I went the last 8 months with the Navigator seat not being able to go back and forth. Only time my seat needs to move is when someone beside my wife and i drive (I'd know if had been messed with), and she's about the same height I am and uses my same setting except she likes more straight seating posture while I lean back some.
that's a navigator not this lol
Playa Gang - Just saying it wears the motor from the seat down moving back and forth every time you turn the car on or off. May not hurt the guy who bought it new and sells after 3-4 years, but if you get a used one or plan on keeping your new one for 10 years, it's something to think about.
I am thinking about it, thanks 👍🏼
I like that song
Amazing video bro i think i know what my first car will be.
Thank's, glad you liked it :)
Auto Vlog my next upgrade will be a smart blow off valve it will help with the turbo get that also dude.
Joe Gotti Garcia Just an FYI that I took my car into Cobb to guinea pig the Access Port on the 2015 cars. After they pulled the ROM dump, it was different than the 2013 and 2014 cars. They are working on the tuning and supposed to be informing me when the AP will work on the 2015. They may use my car to do OTS tunes as well since I live so close to them.
Yeah u right but mine is a diffent 2014.15 Joel Hinkle n plus I'm using a bully dog performance gt chip
Thanks Mr. Clean!
Jenny Stewart Your welcome !
I just got myself a 2016 Ford Fusion.. and I was wondering about the navigation system... is it already installed or do you have to install it yourself? 'Cause I've see several videos regarding this vehicle and they already show the navigation system installed. I can't see it in my car, so I was wondering if it's something I have to do .. or do I have to talk for Ford dealership.
Nice, thanks for posting
+Lindsey Boozer You are welcome !
This a nice review. I like watching car reviews but you really went into detail with this one....well because I'm looking into getting one myself haha. Did you ever ask the dealer why your belt left the mark on your seat?
Nathaniel Lilavois Thank you ! No, I have not talked to the dealer regarding that, I know its my leather belt, I just have to clean it.
+Mikes Auto Reviews great review.....why didn't you decide on the hybrid? Especially if your not happy with the gas mileage? I am researching a hybrid to use in NYC
I'm in pittsburgh too. I want this car, I'm gonna either black it out or get the red one & tint the windows
My main complaint about this car is the sound system in the SE sucks, and the tranny sometimes shifts too slow during hard acceleration. Other than that, it's a great car and in my opinion outside of the Accord (same class but a little more $), it looks the best in the class.
I love this vehicle fusion se ,I can't afford it band new or even used but honestly if you love it like I do, I rented it an my dream was close to reality an drove to Vagas ,grand Canyon,Arizona flagstaff beautiful well friends rent it,your dream comes closer to reality amen lord amen.
I have a 2009 ford fusion great car I want the new one next!
Mario Iacolucci Get it, you wont regret it :)
Why do some people hate ford cars? There great the new f150 the new mustang are awesome!
New Ford Fusion Titanium still with warranty, only 10kmiles. . , 1 year having problems with gearbox and front axe. More than 45 days at the authorized repair shop, no spare car offered. No solution at all. Other guys with same problem in forums. A friend with same problems in a new Explorer. Coincidence?? Very dissapointed with Ford. NExt time only foreign cars in my options!
+Sergio Bedoya Thanks for the heads up
We got it the first time guy.
+Sergio Bedoya What was once an innovative company with pride in their work, has now become a money hungry company that sells cheap cars for high prices
Nice in-depth & honest review of the FF. You've helped convince me of my upcoming vehicle choice, thanks!
On a sidenote, anybody know the name of the song at 22:40? sounded cool
+A. Gaines Thanks man, glad I could help! The song was just some randomn song on the radio, I dont know what it is :)

Love your reviews. I can't figure out the headlights or the top center lights. I do like my 2016 Fusion Titanium.
just take a magic eraser and a all purpose cleaner to those seats.
I was looking for specific step by step how to change click and te
O on fusion. 2016
Hey nice video, but you just forgot to show the interior. I was interested in the interior with soft ceramic! not sure if i should buy the Titanium PLus or just the Titanium.
WolverineImortal I do show the interior..? And what a mess it has become.. watch the full review ;)
Great video! I'm actually considering buying a 2015 or 2016 Fusion vs the 2016 Accord (when it comes out to public in a week). Have the belt marks on your seats continued since making this video and are you able to remove the marks somehow?
Jason S Thank you ! Yes I just bought a new belt so that should keep the stains away ;)
Awesome!...and thank you. Both entertaining and of course...certainly very entertaining :0) Btw..seen ur review of your earlier version..I was just wondering if this 2015/2016 version has the same car trunk opening via the codes that appeared on the car window panel. In Singapore here..this car is known as "Ford Mondeo Titanium"..5 door Fast Back and the Sedan 4 doors version.
Bill Heng Thank you! Yes it does, it is the same car :)
Nice detailed review:) Is the Hybrid as responsive as the gas version?
Damon Brown Thanks! Do you mean as responsive to the throttle? It is responsive, but the 2.0L Ecoboost is more powerful.. the hybrid has the CVT transmission as well, does not make it feel the same either.
Mikes Auto Reviews Yes, I did mean that. I realized after posting, I asked a stupid question, lol...Sorry:)
Love The color of your car.. My 2015 Fusion Titanium is Vapor silver. I had to have AWD i won't buy a car without it. Once i had the motor in my car broken in I was able to get about 17 in city with a lot of hills and about 26 so far on the highway. I'm very happy with it. My old 08 Milan AWD would get about 10 MPG on my 6 mile commute.
Did you take out the air intake snorkel? I noticed a bit of improvement in growl and pick up.
My car did have an issue with MFT but once i got a new heavy duty battery from Ford I haven't had any sync maintenance messages since.
Great Choice on a car, Its so nice to never have wheel spin, I've never had a car that's smoother.
I do wish the left screen had the AWD HUD like other Fords do.
Either way great review, I can't think of anything you could of missed.
Anthony Gentile Thanks man, I love the color too :) Is the color you have the "Tectonic Silver" ? I have not heard of the Vapor silver.. Anyhow, Im sure it looks awesome :) I have actually been able to get 31mpg on the highway now so I'm very happy with that! and its actually going 70mph... Might need to do a update video on that ;)
I have not taken off the intake snorkel.. but might need to if it makes it sound a little better!
I to wish they had they had the AWD HUD.. that would be cool.
Thanks again, I'm glad you liked the review!
Mikes Auto Reviews Whoops Sorry Vapor Silver was my old car, this is Ingot Silver. Yeah once it broke in for me the mileage just kept getting better. Yeah I don't know why they even have the snorkel. It doesn't do much of anything I think it restricts.
Your welcome!
Anthony Gentile BTW.. You wouldn't happen to live in the Carnegie/Mt. Lebanon area do you ? I saw a Silver Fusion Titanium AWD outside of Giant Eagle in Mt. Lebanon.. It was parked just a couple cars down from mine...Since you said you had one just like mine with same wheels and all.. that would be even more crazy if I actually just saw your car the other day lol... even smaller world..and I have not seen many Silver colored Titaniums with those wheels at all.. if ANY..
Mikes Auto Reviews I am from the castle Shannon area and work in green tree. Which ge were you at? I was at the one in Brentwood today.
Anthony Gentile It was yesterday, and I was at the one off of green tree road close to Scott township
I am really impressed with your video's and I leant a lot from it. did you made a review for the 2015ford fusion hybrid SE? if yes, can you share with me the links so that I will watch the review? you also mentioned on making a separate video's for the touch screen on how to navigate in it, can I also get the link? "I'm a new follower"
+Mikey K.C. Thank you ! I have a video of the Hybrid Titanium.. not SE : ua-cam.com/video/SvlXeHERY2Y/v-deo.html
I also have a video on the MFT system: ua-cam.com/video/t6bZNda3nAI/v-deo.html
If you need a video on the Sync 3 system, look here: ua-cam.com/video/EgR9UXWDGSw/v-deo.html
Thought the beginning of your video was the THX sound test :) It just kept getting louder and louder.
JTSX1 lol, hadn't thought of that, but yes you are right it kind of sounds like it :) The fusion does not come with the THX sound test though :)
Thought it weird they did it with Lincoln. I guess thats one way try to differentiate the two brands. Still watching your review. Ive been considering one of these; thanks for sharing your experience.
Around 9:01 :D Dude most of your speculation regarding the 2017 model year pans out!! Do you see the future or something?
+Nour Nachabe lol, I work in the business so I kind of figured that something need to happen for the 17 model year, and it did :) ua-cam.com/video/rgwzQD0qeUs/v-deo.html
+AutoVlog Thanks for the reply my man :) You just got yourself a new subscriber ;)
+Nour Nachabe Thank you !
I love my 2014 Ford Fusion Titanium Black. However, I'm waiting on the 2021 Mazda 6 as it will have the supra 6 cylinder engine which is made by BMW and it will have electric motors for acc.
I wish the car had a beep notification similar to toyota when u lock the doors instead of that loud horn
+dee k That would be nice..
Auto Vlog wonder if there is an aftermarket fix
+dee k When you press the lock button once you get NO beep. The sound of the locks locking is sufficient notification. If you are not sure, press the lock button again to hear the beep.
JOHN B listening to to the doors lock is not sufficient enough if it is noisy outside...the Japanese german and even korean automakers have the best solution imo...a discreet beep is the way to go as opposed to the brash horn...
Omg please tell me what the intro music was, it was awesome! Lol
Isaac J. "Hang ups (I want you)" With Otis McDonald
and a Simple $125 Car Stereo and 2 Newer and Better Speakers in place of the Standard one's souns even Nicer than the Sony..and add a simple 50 watt amp in the trunk and your good to go
great Video!! your opinions are decision maker. congrats!!! I also saw you F150 review and helped me a lot! im in between a Subaru outback and fusion awd. I drive a lot...and although different approach...what would be you thoughts? fusion vs outback 3.6.
+Marcus Goncalves Fusion :)
What’s the differences from the 2015 to the 2013 titanium
your fusion is so close to identical to mine its not even funny. aside from it being a 15 and mine a 14, they are the same color (sunset and bronze fire look the same to me) and the ceramic interior, exact same wheels, other then mine having the rest of the options list they are pretty much twins. you my friend, have excellent taste in vehicles :) (just made an owners review too on my channel, feel free to check it out :) )
***** Well thank you sir ;) and likewise to you !
I just traded my old car for a 2013 fusion titanium. I love it!!! I do have a question about the shift paddles. I normally drive in D. One day I accidentally hit the paddle...... will this hurt the car???
It's à Nice car. I like it!
Wow, $39,000?!?!?
sn9696 Yup
AutoVlog i have the 2012 one for first car haha sel
Wow a 2018 titanium is $30,000
Mike to clean your seat you can use a magic eraser from mr clean thats how i got my husband seat clean .. and then use a leather cleaner WORKS .. good luck .. and he keeps his golf bags in at alllllll time
+Monica Hutchinson I will try it, thanks :)
Hows the road noise, turning radius and transmission? I'm gonna be doing a lot of city driving.
+Sam Pellegrene Road noise is low, turning radius is average, transmission is good
Does your fusion have the ambient color lighting for the interior? If so, do you like the colors?
Giuseppe Licata Yes it does, all Fusion Titaniums have ambient lighting standard. Yes I do like the colors :)
Hey Mike, I'm coming across a 2016 Ford Fusion SE with the 1.6L ecoboost, I know those engines have coolant issues in the past but has it been remedied for the 2016? My family has always been Toyota so switching to Ford is kind of making me nervous.
What about the 2015 passat (b8)? How do you think that stacks up against the fusion?
Cosmin V I love VW and German cars in general, I used to drive a 2012 Jetta, it was a great car! The Passat is really nice..
So, I've been looking to buy a Ford Fusion Titanium. I've found a 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium, the only problem is it has 29,000 mileage already, but the price is very reasonable. Do you think it's worth buying with the 29,000 already on it or should I wait till I find one with less mileage.
I installed Decent matching Car Seats( Cost $150 )
im tryin to decide on getin a fusion or a taurus!
+Stephan Cobb both are great !
How is the '16 radio an upgrade? it looks like every other radio and a lot less premium.
I Loved This video. I had a question? Which on would you choose? 2014 Buick LaCrosse/Verano vs 2015 Ford Fusion Titanium??? This is a tuff decision what would you do in this situation? Which one would be you buy?
+Bria Hawthorne I would choose the Ford Fusion ;)
I'm about to order a 2016 Fusion Titanium myself in the next day or so, but I am torn between the AWD or FWD. I currently live in CA and I can't really see a need for it. Even the dealer said it isn't really worth it unless you live in a place where the weather is terrible during winter etc. Any input?
SpraykwoNTheChef I have it because I live in Pittsburgh, don't know if would have gotten AWD if I was in Cali. However, I do love how the AWD system grips even in the rain, you never have to worry about wheel spin, always quick off the grid ;)
Yea I'm still debating it. I also asked the dealer what they thought and they said it isn't worth it unless you are going to use it regularly. Plus that $2K I could save is enticing. Very tough decision to make lol
SpraykwoNTheChef do you get a lot of rain where you live if so awd will come in handy in the rain you do get better handling in wet weather in awd verus fwd
Yes it rains a lot here and I love the AWD, it grips so good !
SpraykwoNTheChef Get the AWD. Why do people buy a WRX or a GT-R. The AWD will give u better performance and handling.
Hi, I got a simple question and it is about speed bumps: When you are 2-3 mph and pass over them is it normal rear wheels shock feels hard? Front wheels feel soft.
Can you talking about the TPM sensor on Ford Fusion? I have a problem with that and a lot of people have it...
The message "Tire Pressure Fault" appear on the screen.
you get to have those cars
But I do not like touch screen as you said, sensitivity is bad and you can see finger marks on it which looks ugly when you shut off the car.
Do you know what to do this? any screen protection or polish or anything that I can do?
+Sagara Dewasurendra Every owner gets a blue cloth to clean the touch screen (provided in the owners manual)
could you please tell me: how about the passenger seats, how comfortable for a guy your height are they? how much luggage can you fit in the trunk? Thank you!
Rgkey I haven't sat back there a lot but I am 6,2 and fit/sit just fine back there, plenty of leg and head room
Oh sweet. How about the trunk space, can you at least fit a large suitcase? Thanks
I talk about the trunk in the review, it is 16 cu in of cargo space.. yes you can fit several suitcases in there :)
My bad, thank u man!
How's the headroom and legroom for someone who's 6.5'?
+Chuck Spidell It should not be a problem, I'm 6,2 and I have plenty of room
you look like matt damon twin brother
+hyylo Hadn't heard that one yet :) But thanks I guess
you do 100%. get a photo of you and matt d and ask people if these two look like twins or brothers.
yes im america i have one myself 1.5l se
and Tell them how often you haveto clean the interior seats? ( Monthly) for that Tan Interior.. and Yrly if Black..
have 2016 with touch screen. new small dislike. driving hills at night the headlight beam has limited height. when cresting a short hill the beam cut off creates a dark(BLIND) driving situation until getting to the bottom of the short hill. any others have similar situation?
Chevy Malibu is in its class. Fusion is Better in some areas, not so much in others and Car Rental Co.'s saturate the market with Fusions.. thus why they depreciate by 33% after 1 yr, right mike? and over 50% 2nd yr
The same staining happened to the white section of my leather seats in my 2011 mustang, and I've yet to find a way to get the white part white again. Did you find a way? I priced out re-skinning the seat, but it was crazy expensive.
