Ford Fusion (2002 - 2012) 1.4 + 5d (05) (2006/06) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That i can go to an auction and see beyond all the overpriced shiny new models on parade and come away with a bargain that is stylish, frugal and practical. Pat on the back for me!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everybody loves this vehicle and are impressed by the ride comfort and interior space.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. It is ideal for our family needs. Its chunky looks have not dated since its inception. Our last car was a turbo diesel which was sluggish then zoom as the turbo kicked in, this delivers the power smoothly over the range.

What are you likely to buy next?

We hope to keep this one for a good few years.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£3,400

When did you buy the car?

April 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Bought at auction and consider it a great deal as mileage only 17k and in excellent condition.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

My other half wrote off her astra so needed a replacement.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Drove it back from the auction and it cruised nicely at 70 mph on the motorway. Around town it is a comfortable and practical everyday vehicle.

What's it like to park?

No problem.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

The higher headroom is a real boon but i must admit that my favourite aspect is that when sitting in his car seat in the rear my 2 year old is able to see out of the window and is so much happier and less bored on journeys.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Surprisingly high level of trim and gadgets and i have quickly become accustomed to them all.
