Cons: MyFord Touch interface isn’t very user-friendly; top-line trim levels are expensive; swoopy styling intrudes a bit on rear visibility[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][vc_column_text]CG Says: The 2016 Ford Fusion gets a revised dashboard center stack. There is a new Appearance Package for the S with 18-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, and rear spoiler. The Fusion is a solid offering from Ford. It has many strong areas, but there are a few weaknesses too. We really like the choice of several different powertrains. And we’ve been especially impressed with the refined 1.5- and 2.0-liter EcoBoost engines and the car’s very comfortable ride. The smooth Hybrid model is a positive, too. While Fusion’s EPA estimates are very promising, we’ve been disappointed in the mileage our test cars have returned. And we have to say we’re not convinced that MyFord Touch is a clear improvement over more traditional control interfaces. Fusion is certainly worth a look, and we think the best value is to be found in a modestly optioned SE.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][mk_content_box heading=”The Facts”][mk_table el_class=”new-review-specs”]
