2006 Ford Fusion Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by budkonkle

Fuel economy

With only me in the car - can get 31-33 on highway. This is the 4 cyl with 5sp manual tranny.

Reliability & durability

Absoulutely aweful. Put 2 clutches and 1 engine in this car. It was used as a family vehicle, but was in the shop more than we drove it.

Materials & workmanship

Again, just terrible. Obviously something wrong with clutch plate. Leather seats disconnected from front of seats. Plugs popping out of wheel well clips. Top of dashboard "glove" box would just pop up for no reason, almost causing accident.

Depreciation

Bought the car for around $20,000, traded it in 3 years later for $8,000.
