2006 Ford Fusion SE V6 from North America
Summary:
Good value
Faults:
A lot of wind noise at highway speeds.
Brakes rotors turned at 5,000 miles.
Brakes still make a clunking sound when going from forward to reverse. Have to take it back to dealership.
General Comments:
Overall I am very happy with the car. Power and handling are excellent and with leather seats and most of the available options it easily beats out the competition that was priced much higher. 0% financing made it a no brainer.
I bought this car for road-trips, so the wind noise is pretty disheartening. Dealership has attempted to correct it twice, but the problem persists.
My only other real issue with the car is the fuel mileage. I was initially getting about 29mpg on the highway. When I took it in for service the dealership said it needed the new PCM update and my fuel mileage dropped about 4-6 mpg. Up until that point I was thrilled with the performance and economy. Still waiting for another update that will maybe give me those mpg's back!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Just because your tires cost $850 does not mean they will be good in the snow. Notice how you said your husbands car has snow tires, that is the difference. You put all seasons on a car and expect them to perform like snow tires. It doesn't work that way!
