2006 ford fusion review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. All-new midsize sedan seems rock-solid. introductionit's tough to imagine that a decade ago ford sold the best selling car in the u. Back in the 1990s, sales of the ford taurus eclipsed those of the toyota camry and honda accord.  then the market shifted to trucks and suvs and it seemed like ford abandoned the car market. Sales of the ford explorer skyrocketed. The taurus slumped and was relegated to the rental car fleets. People who wanted a mid-size sedan bought japanese cars.  ford is now determined to regain its footing in the car market. The ford fusion just may be the right answer and just in the nick of time. In any case, ford appears to have done its homework.  based on the highly praised mazda6 sedan, the fusion is a rock solid entry at a decent price. It handles well, looks purposeful and delivers good value for the money. lineupthe 2006 ford fusion was launched with front-wheel drive, but an all-wheel-drive version will be available later in calendar year 2006. Some people like the aggressive, angular look, some don't.  it starts with the large headlights that rise up into the top edge of the front fender, which features a crisp fold along the top edge that runs all the way back along the edge of the roof to the trunk. Three thick chrome bars across the grille also make the car look more upmarket than its pricing might suggest. The front bumper almost disappears as there are two chrome strips below it that match the ones on the grille.  the fusion has a wide track, which makes it stand out on the freeway when viewed from behind. A high trunk line and large triangular taillight clusters with chrome trim give the rear end a classy look, not unlike some newer cadillacs.  overall, the fusion is slightly smaller than the taurus it replaces, but it has much the same dimensions as its competitors. Although the fusion shares the same basic floorpan as the mazda 6 its wheelbase is two inches longer and it is an inch or so wider. Ford also says it is a stiffer bodyshell than the mazda6, which is good. interiorin keeping with its european influence, ford has chosen to go with the soft touch for surface materials, which is expected in a luxury car but not in a mass-market car.  the dashboard is a straightforward design that runs horizontally across the car's width with just a binnacle above the instrument pod. Decent sized control buttons for the radio and climate controls should please everyone.  the center stack is simple, but nothing to write home about. The car we drove had a dark charcoal interior so everything was finished in black. The optional two-tone interior, especially the dark stone and camel with faux wood trim looks more inviting.  a convenient storage bin on top of the dashboard features a large clamshell lid and it's big enough to hold a phone or small camera as well as maps and the like. The center console, door pockets, and front seatback pockets provide additional storage.  rear-seat passengers will find a decent amount of leg room with nicely shaped front seatbacks that allow for plenty of foot space. Head and leg room measurements don't put the fusion at the top of its class, but the back seat feels roomier than the numbers suggest.  the fusion has a good-size trunk with a flat floor and low lift over. The scissor-type hinges avoid the annoyance of luggage being crushed by gooseneck hinges. All fusion models include a 60/40 split rear seatback, which allows for a generous amount of pass-through space. driving impressionthe mazda6 and ford focus have established themselves as class-leading cars when it comes to handling. Ford openly admits that it's taken these traits from the two cars to make sure the fusion inherits the same attributes. The rack-and-pinion steering was precise with just the right amount of weight to make the driver feel connected to the road without being twitchy.  in the past, a car that handled well often came with a stiff ride. That's certainly not the case with the fusion. The front suspension is a short/long arm design while the rear wheels are anchored through a multi-link setup. Improved bushings and hydraulic engine mounts keep vibration and road noise to a minimum.  the 221-horsepower v6 engine provides enough power, although the fusion will not likely be mistaken for a sports sedan. According to ford's own tests the fusion can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 8 seconds, a reasonable performance though not as quick as the v6 versions of the honda accord and toyota camry.  the six-speed automatic transmission is very smooth. Shift into drive and it works well. However, drivers who want more control won't find it here. Shifting from d to l only locks out fifth and sixth gears. Also, there's no indicator showing the driver what gear it's in at any given moment and around town it's difficult to tell by feel.  the fusion v6 manages 29 mpg on the highway, according to the epa. Safety features are optional, however.  new car test drive correspondent john rettie filed this report from hollywood, california. model lineupford fusion s 17,345); se 18,760); sel 19,845); se v6 20,625); sel v6 21,710). assembled inhermosillo, mexico. options as testedsafety and security package (side air curtain, side impact airbags, anti-theft alarm); abs; traction assist; premium package 2,575) includes heated mirrors, elctrochromatic rearview mirror, compass, auto headlamps. model testedford fusion sel 21,710).

2005 ford five hundred review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Ford's magic new number. introductionthe five hundred is ford's interpretation of the modern american sedan. But ford's new flagship is larger and more substantial and comes with much more standard equipment.  the five hundred boasts a body structure and safety technology developed by volvo and first used on volvo's s80 luxury sedan and then for its highly acclaimed xc90 sport utility vehicle. Ford acquired the swedish automaker famous for its passenger-protecting innovations in 1999. When it came time to develop the five hundred (and its upscale cousin, the mercury montego), ford imported volvo's best structural and safety engineers to work on the project. The five hundred is available with a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, the latter giving it more stable handling and better traction, particularly in inclement weather.  ford developed the five hundred as a successor to the taurus and to compete with cars such as the brand new chrysler 300, the venerable toyota avalon, and the aging chevrolet impala. The driver sits relatively high, and the roomy front seats offer a commanding view of the road. Back-seat passengers will not complain about being cramped, either. The back seats fold down to increase cargo capacity. The six-speed automatic transmission that comes standard helps the engine deliver responsive performance and good fuel economy. All-wheel-drive models come with a continually variable transmission that performs the same feat. lineupthe ford five hundred is available in three trim levels: se, sel, and limited.  each is powered by a 3. 0-liter v6 called the duratec 30, which is tuned to provide 203 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. That power flows through either of two very effective transmissions. Also available are a safety and security package for the se with side and canopy airbags, anti-theft perimeter alarm and lights and a safety package for the sel and limited with the side and canopy airbags. walkaroundford first used the five hundred designation in numerical form on the highest trim version of its 1957 fairlane model and the car helped ford overtake chevrolet in the sales race. When ford launched a new flagship, the galaxie, in 1959, it again used the '500' badge to indicate the most upscale version. It also rides on a wheelbase that is 4. 5 inches longer, which not only gives the car its solid, luxury-car stance but enhances smooth ride quality.  the chief designer says it was a challenge to sculpt a ford-styled body around a volvo chassis, and adds that designers used what he calls 'plainer surfaces with taut lines' to give the car a modern look without losing its passenger car proportions. The five hundred's rounded forms offer a definite alternative to the more upright, angular chrysler 300.  the five hundred's face has large, jewel-styled and multi-bulb triangular headlight elements on either side of a wide, trapezoidal grille. Chrome accents the front edges of the bumper. There are similar chrome accents on the rear bumper and another that bisects the doors and provides a visual bridge between slightly flared wheel arches. Chrome also frames the side windows, which include large third windows that give the five hundred more of a luxury car profile.  the tall trunk lid has a spoiler-like lip along its top trailing edge. Those who need even more space for people and cargo can opt for the freestyle, a crossover wagon based on the five hundred. Those who want a smaller and less expensive vehicle will next year be able to get the fusion, another mid-size sedan that's smaller than the taurus. interioralthough the 2005 ford five hundred's exterior is a foot shorter than the full-size ford crown victoria sedan, the new car has nearly as much passenger room (107. 1 cubic feet for the five hundred vs. 108. 2 for the crown vic). The five hundred also has a larger trunk (21. 1 cu. The center stack has audio controls at the top with climate and other controls beneath. The dashboard has either silver or wood-grain trim with metal used for the door releases and around the base and top of the gear shift lever. We found the switchgear well designed and easy to use.  one cautionary note (well, actually two of them): a steeply raked windshield can reflect a lot of glare off the top of the dashboard (at least it did in the car we drove with a tan-colored 'pebble' interior; 'shale' and 'black' interiors also are available), and a driver wearing sunglasses can have trouble reading the darkly colored gauges in the se and sel models.
