Bought the 2014 S model. installed a touch screen navigation, backup Cam, subwoofer,4 speakers, amp, interior LED light kit & changed the headlamps from the manufacturers to LED then bought chrome hubcaps off Ebay. Got everything from a much higher luxury package for under $2500

you do the best reviews and i like base models , they are the biggest bang for the buck ..

We are in the process of working on the videos for the 2014 Kia Sorento and 2014 Mazda6 we just filmed. Thanks for your patience :)

Thank you for using your turn signals. I appreciate it and so does everyone else on the road. Great video too! I'm really surprised how well equipped this base model is.

Thumbs up on reviewing the base 2.5 car. Looked all over but everyone reviews the top trim levels of cars. Thanks, and keep up the base trim level reviews.

Great review. Definitely broadcast quality speaking! Proud of you bro

Nicely reviewed, sir. Very helpful.

0:42 -- To me, the Mazda 6 looks better simply because seeing this Ford car is all too common on the roads (here in America), not to mention the Mazda's body and lines, as well as the interior, are so much more intriguing.

I have driven the hybrid version and it has surprising power. I recommend that version highly.

your reviews are awesome

I had a 2014 Ford Fusion SE 2.0L EcoBoost for a rental, thing was a blast to drive.

Finally, someone who also thinks the front end looks like it's from an Aston Martin.

I would take this over the turbos, I just don't trust them for the long haul

Superb review. Looking forward to the Mazda 6 review.

Excellent job with this review Sofyan. I remembered test driving this generation of the Fusion a while back, but an SE version with the 1.6 Ecoboost engine equipped, and I thought to me that it drove fantastic :) In addition, how's your Acura ILX been doing for you lately? - Michael Land

I just go the fusion. SE 1.6 eco boost 6 spd manual. I love this car!

I’ve driven plenty of cars, and before I bought a Fusion I drove every trim and engine, my favorite was the 2.5 SE. I don’t drive fast, so I don’t care about quick acceleration. The 1.5 ecoboost literally has no power under 3,500 rpm. I had to almost floor it to get it moving decently, I test drove two 1.5’s to make sure one wasn’t bad. I loved the Titanium with the 2.0 ecoboost but it was way too tempting to get on it. If you’re keeping your car for a long time, get a well optioned SE with the 2.5. No turbo and no direct injection = long term durability.

Buying one next week

“Adequate” is how to describe the 2.5 in my 2011 rav4 too

i have an optima 2013 and i am thinking of selling it and get a fusion , what you think guys ?

As an fyi this is actually the 2nd generation Fusion, not the 3rd generation. The 2010-2012 Fusions were mid-cycle refreshes, a much improved refresh at that.

Even if the Fusion doesn't come with rear vents, you can get a set of vents in the junkyard for cheap and should be functional. It must come with the trim piece.

Great vid. I'm looking to buy a 1.5 Ecoboost in China. The higher end models here actually do have front LED lights to compete with all the Audi's and BMW's on the road.

Ahh dat 2.5 we had that in our 2009 escape such fond memories lol

The front end reminds me of the Aston Martin Vanquish.

Its actually because they are constrained on the capacity to make the 1.6 liter and have a second assembly line for the 1.5 liter that is used for other markets. The 1.6 liter is used in many other vehicles.

Are you guys going to do a 2014 Mazda 6 review, another good review by the way.

I was shocked when my 2010 Camry LE came with all 4 auto windows. I've been wondering for years why more companies don't do this. It can't be more than $10-$20 for the parts.

Good review...

For a base model it really doesn't look bad at all!

That's nicely equipped for a base model

Like I said the Ford Fusion economy package is the best car you can ever buy

When are you going to do a 2014 Acura MDX and a night time view of the jeweled LED headlights.

If possible could you please, please do a review of the Ford Focus SE model? Please??

No, it was designed by ford. It is based on the duratec 2.3 which was first used in the 2001 ford ranger. The 2.3's first use in the tranverse (fwd) configuration was in the 2003 ford focus. It wasn't until 2005 that it was used in the mazda tribute which is a badge engineered ford escape. The escape used the same powertrain.

Sofyan have you driven the new Passat yet? Will we ever expect a review of it?

im so happy that honda stayed with the v6 option!

I would LOVE those gauges on a titanium model

wow the BASE Fusion...

Because Ford is targeting that 40 MPG mark that the Mazda6 has hit.

Would it be possible to get a review of the new MKZ.

Thinking about getting this car. 2014 with 80k miles. Can anybody tell me about its reliability? Or maintenance wise ? Read mixed reviews about ford and especially the fusion

7 years after this video: Ford officially killed production of the vehicle They give up to $6k off discounts from the MSRP. You can get this S version at a cheaper price than a 10th gen Honda Civic.

I'd pick a S model. 2.5 6 auto. Someone I don't know but who's on TV was driving one yesterday. I remember when one Bond movie came out and he pulled up in a scene in a Mondeo I liked it. I wrote Ford a letter and said bring it to America. A couple years later they did. Europe actually has one in a sport wagon that I really like but here it probably wouldn't sell. People want cuv's but not really hatchback or wagons. Most days my back would want the cuv but I'd prefer a hatchback or wagon for a few reasons. But I'd definitely avoid the turbos until about 2017 and then only a twin scroll 2.0 and I have some reservations even about that engine. The normal aspirated Mazda engine can last a very long time with reasonable maintenance. I'd expect 200,000 or more miles from that 6 spd auto. I'd rather have steel wheels with hubcaps than aluminum alloy wheels. Our roads are so rough..steel can be beat back into sealing shape. Aluminum just breaks or bends and isn't repairable (in the US for very good reason). I like the accord except the seats are horrible.

the cool seats will not come until late 2014 for the titanium. Can not find the option or description within any package.

Same here. All the money saved in gas will go to replacing the turbos and high pressure injectors in those motors anyway. Sometimes simpler is better.

Sofyan said in the video @ 7:27 that he'll be reviewing the 2014 Mazda6 very shortly so It won't be too long before it'll be uploaded :) - Michael Land

i wish they put the 3.5 v6 they had in the fusion sport!

does anyone know if the manual mode revs the engine for downshifts?

Does your colleague who does the detailed inter reviews have a separate channel?

Do you know when the 1.5L Ecoboost is coming out for this car?

See I test drove the SE fusion today and noticed when i put the key in the ignition like you did I didn't get that new Chime. Was it because it was in Test drive mode? I got the chime you did but except didn't get the new Chime if you know what I mean?

"Hahaha!" He confused the dashboard with the door panels and vice versa.

Is there really that much difference between a the 1.6 ecoboost and the 1.5?

Show us the red leather for the fusion

I like the 2.5 I4

Getting a 2014 today, SE 1.5 Ecoboost. Auto. 100cc LESS than the Manual version which is a 1.6

Is this the old Mazda 2.5 which is a GOOD motor?

nice car man

Is the front passenger seat adjustable???

03:20 Face on the Dashboard... LOL!

It's crazy to me that FULLY LOADED, the Fusion pushes above $40k MSRP. That is insane. You can get a very well equipped MKZ for that money, even with the 3.7L V6 that is unavailable on the Fusion.

my kind of cars!!!

Good review, but I'd even take a 2012 Galant over this. These just have such iffy reliability.

Dude your taking so long to upload videos keeo them cars coming an 04 is300 or 05 would be so apreciated

Can u do a chevy cruze ltz

Could you do a 2015 Fusion S?

sounds really loud in the cabin, is it that loud?

I have driven the hybrids

i wanna see the jetta with the new 1.8t

For a base model Im surprised by how many standard features this car has.

we still want to see the 2014 mazda 6

Um... Are you changing gears? PLZ reply

i agree! but the rest of the car is nice!

The rocker switch on the shifter is not Manuel mode it is hill control

if you want the Sony sound system you have to get the top model

I love my Ford Fusion

do an altima sv

I checked out his one at a dealer. So the 2.5 is a non turbo? I'm so confused with many configurations.

I like the car

why, the ecoboost 2.0 has more torque and picks up just as well.

I have the 2013 Ford Fusion S. It's a nice car and smooth. But in Chicago I get 16-18 city. So I'm very disappointed. It feels like I have to do like 60-40 to get combined mpg of 26. And almost all highway(90%) to get into 30's mpg range. Probably the first and only Ford I'll buy.

That's okay :) - Michael Land

What does manual mean?

nice

please fix the rattle from your camera

I see a lot of S's on the road. Probably because of all the standard features.

Can you change the stereo to a touch screen?

those are hub caps

well the 3.5 v6 has more HP and doesn't require premium for full performance. The 3.5 in the sport sounds much better that the 2.0!

I was going for an SE model but I wanted a car with AWD and that's only available for the Titanium model so that's what I'm going for.

LOL this fusion it is so different, here in my country doesn't exist this model, I never even know that exist this kind.

I'm not sure if you said this or not but is the driver seat adjustable for shorter drivers and steering wheel?

isn't the Passat a full size car...?

what color is this

Would rather pay a bit extra for the SE with the 1.6 ecoboost

Not bad would be nice if it came with alloy wheels

A/C is on

Very nice car, but really wished it offered a V6.

Luxury car chime in the base model S LOL!!!
