Full Review

Practical design features and unique tough looks that made me go for the Fusion Diesel. 3 yrs, back, I wanted this car but the petrol version was too expensive to buy as well as run.. So opted for Esteem vxi. Then came in the diesel and my dreams realized.. Been driving it now for over 2 weeks having covered 1200 kms. With fuel consumption of 21 in combined city and highway driving, the ac being on about 40% of the time, what more can one can ask for in a car of this size? Ample boot and interior space with a comfortable drive on rough and tar roads. Cons are change of gears, but you get used to it. Power is perfect for Indian roads where its the cows and camels that control your speed and not the power inside the bonnet!. I strongly recommend it for anyone who wants a practical machine with an attitude!

Hi Arun,

Thanks. Fusion+ is '05 make, clocke 65k km, FE 10 bought it for 2.4L. Car is in good shape.

Got a first problem with power steering oil leak ... replacement of pump n steering rack recommended by ford service ... 45k. Suspension n brake work ... 15k.

Any ideas or suggestions please share?

I followed another chain on 'Racechip' for Dzire performance impr and FE ... is anything like this available to be used on FF+?

Arun David on 20 Aug, 2010 at 09:55 AM

azeez,

Good for you. How many kilometers when you bought the car? What is the FE you are getting? How much did you pay for this?

All the best. I hope you have a grt time.

regards

Even though car production is discontinued and my queries on carwale forums n to ford co. reg car roadmap, maintenance, spares went unanswered; I 've still bought Ford Fusion Plus petrol '05 model.

It's a lovely car, driving is really a pleasure. I consider it a SUV in terms of all things incl mileage

Overall Ford Fusion looks excellent and appealing except for the doubts expressed by some of them that Ford might stop manufacturing Fusion.Can this news be authenticated.

Hi, I bought Ford Fusion TDCI on 3rdJan'09. Its has crossed 26000kms & I feel proud to be an owner of such a nice SUV. Will ask everyone who is plaaning to by a new car. Before buying anything kindly take a test drive then only decide which vehicle you wana buy. I stay in Delhi. City Average- 17.5- 18.5 kms with AC & 21+ on highways with AC. Without AC havent Checked. And service cost at every intervals of 10000kms cost around 3500/-. other cars (tata & maruti) Rs.2500 every 5000kms.

Its worth it for 3 lacs. And 28K km means just warming up for a long haul.. Highly recommended.

I want to buy a used Fusion (Diesel variant). Its one year old and has clocked 28000 KMs. Should I go ahead with this. Mine is a small family and am a office goer. For my official purposes I have to go to some other cities at a distance of 100 to 200 kms. Would anybody advise me what should I do, Should I buy this or should I go for a new car. I think I will have to pay around 3 lacs of Rupees.
