Faults:

Quite a lot, coolant leaks, oil leaks, dash board lifted/rattled, gearbox trouble, alternator failed, etc.

General Comments:

This was the family car we had a long while ago. My father only kept it because my mother loved it (she was into quirky weird cars), but it really was an oddball.

As most manufacturers in the early 2000's were trying to be cool and hip with cars out of the ordinary, this Fusion is a great example of that. It doesn't know whether it is a hatchback or a small soft roader. It looks like every car typical of the time - bold lines, square panels rounded off around the headlights. Such an odd design.

Inside was no better, plastic everywhere, seats were OK and the car was generally comfortable for family use, so they got that right, but everything else was weird.

It was handed down to me later in life and I hated driving it, slow and barely managed 40 mpg, terrible for a 1.4 engine.

So yeah it was just rubbish, I sold it in 2016, not a car I would buy again.
