What does /o/ think of the 325 hp Ford Fusion sport ?

Get an Alfa Romeo Giulia instead.

>>17754622
MSRP? 0-60? Looks ok. Literally nothing special tho

>>17754631
Sure if you wanna pay almost twice as much and have more reliability issues yea its the better performing car. Fuck idk why I'm taking the bait they are not even in the same category

Automatic only. Fuck Ford for not making it the Fusion ST with a manuel.

>>17754651
You know it's not QUADRIFOGLIO OR NOTHING, right?

I can find them used for 29k all day in my area, plus awd for Michigan. How can I go wrong?

>>17754622
Old people car. What do they cost like $50k? At that point you might as well go low end German or cheap Lexus.

>>17754635
Like 34,000 5.1seconds it outperforms all the competing midsize sedans in its segment but that's about it cool car if you need a fun family hauler that doesn't cost too much I suppose

>>17754671
29k used with like 15k miles

>>17754657
I feel like it has to be but your right it doesn't have to be. On that note how does the regular Giulia perform

>>17754682
All Giulias are based on the Quadrifoglio, so they're very similar. Just slower and softer.

>>17754622
Is it FailWheelDrive?

>>17754673
>midsize
the new Mondeo is fucking enormous, I know it's still in the sub-3 Series bracket but you'd struggle to call it midsize nowadays.

>>17754746
for americans that's midsized

>>17754746
also the 3 series is considered compact. the fusion/ mondeo is considered midsized.

>>17754622
I work at a Ford stealership and a couple of my coworkers drive this. It's very nice to be honest. It's AWD which isn't available on the Camry or Accord so it's pretty practical in that sense. I'll never own American but I can definitely appreciate it

>>17754765
And Europeans, and Japanese. Generation growth isn't a North American phenomenon

>>17754655
Manuel no esta aqui

>>17754622
piece of shit that's only made for cucked men to mash the gas and go wee only in a straight line. still suffers from shitty modern car design.

Drove one and thought it was pretty nice over all. Peppy enough for your wife.

>>17754785
i don't disagree with you but europeans think the mondeo is big while americans don't is what i was trying to get at.

>puts less power out than my car puts down

LOL what a joke

Name a better car for 30k with 300+ horse that you can find with awd with less than 30k miles

>>17754847
335xi. and it'll be just as numb to drive. awd is a meme.

>>17754631

Paying twice as much for a car engineered half as much. Brilliant logic.

Get a Stinger.

>>17754904
Maintenance and insurance costs will be double

>>17754847
A used STI? It will have real AWD too.

>>17754944
Yea with 120k miles and 6 years old because >muh subaru

>>1775496
You can get a base STI off the lot for under 40, I don't think 30 is unreasonable for a lightly used one. Just gotta be ready to pounce on a deal.

>>17754681
I'd rather pay msrp at that rate lol

>>17754938
insurance might cost marginally more but maintenance would be the same. a complex turbo awd ford will not be very reliable.

>>17754987
Wat. The Ecoboost v6 has been the the f150 and mustang for years now.

they could just use an na v6 at this point.

>>17755024

UHMMMMM SWEETIE?

FORD = FIX IT AGAIN TONY

One's still in production. Makes one wonder.

>>17754622
My friend has one that I drive quite a lot these days.

His model is a bit older though.

A lot of electronics-related problems, ABS get's deactivated because of some bug. Ford's infotainment system its a bit on the slow side.

Interior is ok but not particularly super comfy or super well finished.

Turbo's response is fucking nice, kicks in brutally. Engine feels good and responsive.

HOWEVER

driving sucks IMO. A modern landyatch from Ford should have a better driving, comfy above anything else. This one's is just too nervous and imprecise IMO.

I don't like the rear side of the car, looks pretty fat in a bad way.

It wouldn't be my first or second choice but I don't think its that bad.

>>17756393
You saying ford stopping production on a car that is better in every way because normies would rather some piece of shit means something meaningful?

>>17756389
>Haldex
>VW Golf

woah wait what

>>17756845
>better in every way
I am laffing /o/
The only way in which it was "better" was being wrapped around a powerplant that was a tuner's wet dream. Otherwise it's a comfortable A-B commuter couch and that's it. The Mondeo does the commuter couch thing much better anyway with a much more composed chassis.

>>17754622
It's nice in that it's a factory sleeper but I'd rather have the SHO of course. The Fusion has always been kinda ugly IMHO. There are better options available.

>>17756393
DELETE THIS

>>17756628
The 2017 is completely revamped. Has electronic magnetic suspension.

>>1775692
Better options such as?

>>17755839
suzuki verona was i6 fwd

>>17754622
I drive an Edge Sport, same powertrain.

It's fun, sort of. The power is definitely something you'll notice when you jump in other cars of it's class, same with the tight handling (relatively). This car will likely handle body roll much better than other 4k+ lb. cars. If you're leaning on the fun side and willing to sacrifice some practicality, i'd look elsewhere.

A CPO 335i (even the 328i) is hard to beat in this category.

>buying a crossover
post tits. only women buy crossovers

>>17754839
Most of us burgers think it's big too. Midsize to me is a Ford focus and I still think that's bloated.
I had a 94 Taurus, that was midsized then. Now my 2017 compact sedan is a whale next to it.

>>17758007
Right but maintenance and insurance is higher on bmw

You can buy those on ebt now??

>>17754651
More reliability issues than ford? Not even Alpha Romeo manage that anymore, just Dacia

How similar is this to the hot MKZ?

That one has 400hp awd iirc.
