For people who commute within cities or towns like myself, this car would be a great investment! The fact that they give you a brake score is awesome, too! It's like a video game!

I like that your reviews are more technical than the more commercial focused reviews. It's good to know what is going on mechanically with the car rather than just knowing "Oh yeah it's comfortable" Thanks so much!

2016 Energi: Lease = 259/mo, 12Kmi/yr, 0 down. Same as basic Focus SE. Energi gets leather interior, power and heated front seats, more outlets, remote car start and morning schedule start via MyFord App. Great set upgrades for same cost as base SE.

I was just researching this car. Thank you for reviewing it! You revealed many things I didn't know.

I really like the direction this channel is going Jason. Great job on everything!

Your review was through and most excellent! Thanks Jim Seattle WA

Excellent review I like that you took the time to explain and show how the hybrid function works. Good job very impressed.👍🏻

Really cool review man, The POV is a great touch to the presentation! Keep em coming!

This is the first time ive learned anything about a hybrid car, pretty neat. Thanks EE, keep these up.

Great review and comparison with different vehicles. These things are a great value at 3 years old.

Again another great review like none other you'll find on youtube.

He does a great job explaining things

Thank you for creating a review on a car that actually gives us some useful figures and tells us as far as fuel economy figures what you actually got at least in terms of your experience and what the car's computer says versus watching all the other car reviews and the actual people who only do car views who are literally only quoting the EPA numbers and not telling you what they're actually getting as far as economy goes in those cars plus you do any more real world test than they do cuz you take it out on a fairly decent size drive as well as you do real world driving that people who would own the car would generally be doing where is most of the car of yours just so they can say that the acceleration is good in the breaking is good will be hard on the throttle usually to the floor during acceleration and they will get on the brakes pretty hard as well most of the reviews I've seen on the Ford Fusions people are saying they're getting 34 to 37 miles per gallon which is not impressive but the numbers that you have shown me or a bit more impressive but not as impressive as my 2007 Prius which I'm betting on the same Loop driving at the same way you were I would be looking at getting between 48 and 52 miles per gallon but unlike the Ford Fusion Energy plug-in mine is not a plug-in and I am at the disadvantage of not having the p r e v range and not having much power available as my Eevee portion because my car was designed for the electric motor to assist at higher speeds and not be a primary but I have found that in my 2007 Prius in some circumstances I can still get the car to kick into Eevee mode even going down the interstate and usually when it kicks into Eevee mode going down the interstate it will run it for about half of mile to a mile and then it will kick back into it's hybrid mode where it runs the gas engine to help push it down the road and for The commenter Who said why do people buy expensive hybrid cars like this on many models of cars that have a gas only version and a hybrid version the hybrid version usually is not much more expensive then the gas version and the increase fuel economy which is generally about 8 miles per gallon better than the non hybrid version makes sense in the long run cuz of what you're going to save on gas especially considering that the other engine that the fusion runs that would be at the same price point would be running mid-grade and not getting as good as fuel economy or you could buy the non hybrid 4 cylinder and run regular grade fuel and you would be looking at about a 34 to 36 mile per gallon average where that car just did a 44 mile per gallon average when you take into account the cost of fuel and how much extra range you get out of the hybrid which is another reason why many people will buy the hybrid version of a gasoline car cuz they do have much better range same size gas tank easily looking at another 325 usually more like 8 miles per gallon so the extra range on the vehicle is also a selling point especially only plug-in hybrids where most Americans are looking at going easily over a thousand miles before having to fill up again if they just plug it in every night and most Americans if they plug the car in at night are paying a lot less per mile to drive the car and it's Evie mode than they would be to drive it and it's gas mode my Prius that easily obtained mid-forties even lower 50s for fuel economy is still costing me about $0.06 per mile in gas alone to drive versus the maybe two cents per mile that that car costs in electric mode so when you actually sit back and do the analytics on at all the plug-in hybrid really does start to make sense because of how much more cheaply you can run the car over the course of the lifetime of the car somebody who drives 10000 miles a year will be able to recuperate the extra cost of the car and about 3 years or 30,000 miles essentially if you put 30,000 miles on that car and you plug it in every night when you are at off peak rates of $0.06 a kilowatt or less and you are driving 3 miles per kilowatt of energy it is costing you $0.02 a mile to drive on electric and it is coming out to be about $0.06 per mile to drive the car on gasoline given a fuel economy in the lower 40s like that and the price of a gallon of gas and considering most people who end up driving cars like that do tend to drive quite a bit and put more like 15,000 miles a year on their car and keep Cars 3 to 5 years they will find that they easily recoup the extra cost of buying the hybrid version versus the non hybrid version even when you are talking about the even higher cost of the plugin hybrid version versus the non plug-in hybrid version as long as they plug it in every night if they are doing a 25 mile a day commute they are able to still just as easily recoup the extra money they put into paying for the system especially if there's someone who can plug their car in at work and charge it for free at work if I was in that scenario of a 25 mile round trip every day and I could plug in at work and charge my car for free and get that 21 miles everyday for free then I would just not plug it in at home one or two nights to use a little bit of the gasoline and I would plug it in at work everyday before driving home so that way I am able to get the most free energy possible to move me down the road or if my commute was less than 20 miles I would probably not plug the car in at home at all and I will just plug it in at work and I'm talking about if that is what you are coming out to with your round-trip commute would be 20 or 25 miles.

I really like your reviews, your approcach etc. What i'd like you to add would be some basic equipment to be able to compare empirical data between each car you test. For me, the "window noise is not to bad" doest say much. Id would be easy for you to get a DB meter and give a number for example. little details like that would be a great addition ! tyvm

Thank you very much very intuitive very intelligent review I'm thinking about buying one of these real soon!

Price is high but in the same ballpark as all the other plug-in hybrids. Nice review, thx

Can you do a review on a focus or focus st ? Great video as always keep up the good work !

I miss these car reviews

Very nicely done. Thanks!

great video. how all reviews should be done

great review thanks...

Great Job!

I see the effort put into trying to get professional shots with tripods and nice panning angles. That looks very good ! A suggestion though: you may want to find a different location with a little bit more space around (any abandoned parking lot around your place :) ?) I guess you found this quite spot on the side of a mountain road, but it kind of impact the professional feel of the video. Still great video and review!

I wish I had the energi for the winter, but with a dual heater, electric/engine core. My Fusion 2013 Hybrid gets like 35mpg on a cold start, while I get about 63mpg(5min slower back roads) in summer no AC, and 43-50mpg(Highway) using the AC set to 72.(25 miles to work) The cars learns your behavior. Breaking in the beginning feels rough but smooths out.

Great video. I really like the car reviews. In this one, you touched on unsprung mass. Do you have or are you planning to make a video on sprung vs. unsprung mass?

I have a 2014 C-Max hybrid SE, non-Energi, non-Titanium and love it. It has same MPG as the Fusion but more room inside. Just not a as comfy seats, less options, and no touchscreen, but I hear those can get quirky like the Energi versions too. Less things to break later.

Great review, thanks. I'm curious about the real world range of electric battery. I've read that the C-Max Energi shares hybrid drive system, but it seems to get much less than 21 in real world driving. Any idea on Fusion?

old video, I know but these have depreciated a ton. since ca updated their hov lane guidelines, i have been shopping for an out-of-state fusion energi and $10-$15k should suit my needs for 4 years no problem. especially coming from an '01 f150 cng boat

I wonder how the use of hybrids affect the engine life span since I imagine the engine is used less that it when it does get used and since it's running cold probably most of the time how will the performance be?

Excelente..!!!👌

Can you do a review of the Honda Hybrid and Camry, maybe a side by side review? Thanks

YOU'RE SUCH A NICE GUY!! You deserve all the success in the world Going to signup to be a patron! :)

on your energy does the engine feel like its not shifting. can you show us a video on how the engine revs during an uphill or on acceleration, show us a video on the empower meter. thank you

Do you live in Michigan? What about reviewing rob dahm's lamborghini or rx7 to see the engineering behind used cars?

It would be nice if these hybrids had a 'sport mode' that you could turn on, that would use some battery power to improve low-end acceleration. It would be better for short trips or traffic situations where you need to brake and accelerate a lot and are a bit less concerned about fuel efficiency.

"And there's a Lotus doing some tricks..." *cutout scene*

i want the non hybrid version to be stick and rwd. that would be a fun car.

Can you review a focus? Maybe an ST and compare to your STI

Hm so the ICE is basically just like permanently stuck in the low-cam mode of i-VTEC SOHC engines? Mine does the same thing with the Atkinson Cycle, but it switches off to the high-cams when you want the power. Opposite of traditional VTEC; high-cams are running most of the time, with the lows only in low load conditions and cruising.

so if the battery is dead does the car still run on just the engine and you recharge the battery as you drive? basically you don't have to plug it in every night? Also how does this system work in extreme cold weather like most of the country has?

How many miles per gallon do you get in electric before gasoline takes over? Like on 2012 fusion hybrid goes upto 35 milles on electric power before gasoline takes over. Does fusion energi goes up to 60 miles per hour on electric before gasoline takes over?

can you do a review on something more sporty like the focus ST

Can I drive it like hybrid? so I don't need to charge it everyday? does it have the ability to run on gas only?

late here, but i sold honda's at the same time this car was built,, accord hybrid has the same if no just a lttle lees than the ford.. just looked at the altima a little less than the ford......i bought a ford fusion, on these 2 main things.. love the looks outside and inside, esp. at night.. and i have the 2.0 turbo engine..city about 24.6 highway on cruise at 68 ( sweet spot for this car ) i get 35.7 ave...not bad.. it has paddle shift also.. that really does not help the gas milage, thuo, when you play with the 245 hp..but overall i love my car..ruby red

can we see more of your Project the integera

great

Wow that trunk is approaching dangerously close to not being able to hold a body. Should still manage.

what is the mpg of the car without the lithium batteries?

I can appreciate the attempt and the technology involved here but, I just can't get on board with these yet. If being "greener" is your ONLY goal and you have the money then I guess there's nothing for me to say. However, I feel that there are much better options out there. I recently got a jetta tdi loaded a little more than half of that price. Bought it as my commuter. She's rated at I believe 43 or 44 highway but without AC at around 73 mph I can sit at 50 or more mpg all day. 46 mpg with AC. It's only about 36-38 city driving and I guess that's where this car beats my jetta but it's still not worth it after the price, higher potential servicing costs, new batteries every however many years etc. and I wish you would've talked about the costs of charging. Also, I've heard people claim that it's actually less green to produce these cars but I cannot speak to that without researching. Either way, I like the channel and I agree with whoever said to get a db meter that's a great idea. If it's not too much of a conflict of interests for you and what you're doing lately, I'd love to hear your thoughts on what I've said.

does it regenerate the battery with the engine and braking like a prius.

My 2014 Ford Fusion Titanium screen stucked on white color after trying to connect it with iphone..now i cant use anything on screen plz help

are these hybrid cars able to have a remote starter?

I have heard some people say that it is actually worse to buy hybrid vehicles because the amount of energy that it takes to mine and produce the battery is not as much as if you were to just buy and use a gas car. Is this true?

How come this car gets better mileage than a prius?

and it does have a tachometer... in the menu somewhere on the left lol

How tall are you?

Good car. But I think I'd go for a Chevy volt instead. It's got a better electric range. And in my opinion looks better inside and out.

what kind of fuel did you use? E10

I really like the Ford Fusion Energi, but I didn't know that it doesn't have a spare tire. It doesn't even have a "donut?"

I know the nypd uses these everywhere

That’s my car, but the hybrid version in red

Looking to buy one used one

In the uk this car is called the ford mondeo! Just a little fact!

I put it on gas only and the battery usage still goes down

Too bad Ford chose to misspell 'energy'. I find it confusing. Not sure it is worth more than the regular hybrid.

I never understood this, why leave the intake valve open a little longer on compression, why not just increase the contecting rod length, or just open the intake valve for a shorter period,

Review mercedes Benz cla pls.

Make diesel plug-ins and I might be in on these "non performance" hybrid cars.

If used without utilizing the plug in would the mileage be just the same as the regular hybrid model?

0:01 2015 mustang

21 miles?

At 12:30 the odometer reads 6605.9 later on in the video at 15:20 the odometer reads 6581.7 lol

After seeing this video and not checking if this is your normal habbit.. (sorry about that) I've come to understand that you hold the steering wheel at 10 & 2, 10 & 2 is really not reconmended for driving at all. Why you ask? -In the case of a (god forbid) car crash, your right hand (or fist) will be coming right at the passenger on your side, at aprox. 200Mph, thus destrying his face, as well as disintegrating your hand... -Apart from this hazzard, while holding the steering wheel at 10&2, your flexibility is of less as it could be, with the correct form. (try it compared to what I reconmend) I am really sorry for ending this like that But I'm afraid I don't have enough time at the moment, so I'll simply say it - hold your steering wheel at 9:15 & 2:45. 9:15 & 2:45 will grantt you the maximum flexibility of movement and enough comfort for driving a long cruise. (unless you are the one hander type of guys.) stay safe! I love your videos! Eli.

Buy it used save 1000s

if the brakes are controlled electronically what happens when the battery shorts out.

If the engine only kicks in when it needs extra power, wouldnt that be very unhealthy if the engine is cold, like it probably is most of the time...?

How old are you?

Looks exactly like my wifes car.. which I bought used from MI dealership.. Hmmmmmm.

Only 21 miles? Maybe the hermit would benefit from it, but that doesn't really sound like a good range for modern society to be worth the extra price over the standard gas model.

42 grand?? No thanks, I can get a VW TDI anything and get 60mpg+ for half that.

Never understood the point of creating a fuel efficient, expensive car. What market is this targeting? People with money that don't enjoy paying for gas? Most people that put that much into a car will drive a BMW, Audi, Merc or a Cadillac. They need to concentrate on creating a hybrid that has 4 wheels, doesn't look terrible and is cheap. Then their cars can be aimed at lower & middle class people that want to save money.

No boot space, not for me!

16:59, he cuts someone off

Unfortunately, the Ford Energi can only output 60kW of power from the battery pack, which limits how hard the electric motor can push. For a comparison, drag race a Nissan leaf with an 80kW motor, the leaf will crush the Energi on acceleration!

Hahah those leaves are such a waste of space and a really, really dum idea... Made me laugh tho :D

Why would they use PLASTIC for an intake manifold?! Lol 1 crack and there goes a piece of plastic in your valves

OMG Energy Leaves? Serious?... XDDDD

There is so much wrong with this that I feel sick thinking about this car....

Nope rather get the lexus ES300h.

eps = crappy handling and steering

Not enough room to stow my mammoth testes, I'll pass

looks like a grandma car! so ugly i don't think I would get any action in that... maybe with some grannies :0

21 mile range......why the hell are they so bad..Tesla hits 250 miles....what do the scientists at ford not understand that Eon Musk does....21 mile range is disgusting....yeah it's hybrid..but imagine a hybrid with the range of a tesla....way mroe fuel efficient...not to mention the tesla Model S P85 broke the record for the fastest 4 door sedan
