suv_guy_19 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 While the basic structure may still be based on the original architecture, it has been so extensively revised it just about qualifies as "new." And while the suspension design and braking system remain essentially the same too, they have also been updated. It's hard to describe, but the structure of the Fusion feels not solid so much as taut. And the spring and damper rates chosen, combined with the new electric power steering's positive feel and the linear response you get, make it much more enjoyable in pure driving terms than Ford's first Fusion. Ride comfort is fine, too. There's also more power, with the previous 2.3-litre unit increased to 2.5 litres, horsepower increased by 15 to 175 hp at 6,000 rpm and torque increased by 16 lb-ft to a peak of 172 lb-ft at 4,500 rpm. This is vectored to the front wheels by a choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmissions. 2010 Fusion Review by Bob English Nice review. There are really a great many Fusions popping up in my little corner of Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstock Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 A great review, and another step in changing perceptions, especially considering how successful the Camcords are in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
