Vehicle Description
2010 Ford Fusion S
The Ford Fusion entered the market at a tumultuous time-in 2006,
right before the economic recession that put the Big Three on the
tracks for financial destruction. However, its strong presence even
still today is proof that the Fusion played a major role in pulling
the Blue Oval out of its economic collapse. The Fusion is a
mid-size sedan that is manufactured in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico,
having begun initial production on August 1, 2005. In the United
States, it took the place of the Taurus, which was then a mid-size
sedan but has now been bumped up to full-size sedan status. Ford
introduced its three-bar grille on its Fusion, the three-bar grille
had originally appeared on a concept car debuting at the 2003 North
American International Auto Show.
Today's new and used car market is crazy, from dealer mark ups and
bare lots to extended lead times for new vehicles it seems that
when a low mileage used car does come on the market it's made of
gold and is priced as such. While we here at Classic Auto Mall have
a main focus on the collector and classic car market, we also have
late model examples that roll through the door and when they do
they normally don't last. For consignment, a 1st generation, 1st
year face lift design for Ford's midsize family sedan in the form
of a 2010 Ford Fusion S. Don't let the base model S fool you...this
sedan is loaded with amenities the likes one would expect to see in
a much pricier car. Sporting a mere 12,383 original miles, a fuel
sipping 4 cylinder and a plush cloth interior, this car is ready to
provide years of trouble-free service for either you or that up and
coming new driver in your family.
Exterior
Wearing its original coat of Smokestone Metallic in
basecoat/clearcoat format this 2010 Fusion is the first year for a
refresh on the 4 year old design. A domed hood now sits between the
front fenders and leading the way is a much cleaner look to the
neoprene fascia with a revised chrome 3 bar grille and new crystal
clear headlights all working together to give the Fusion a much
sportier appearance. Large slabs of steel make up the sides with
nary a hint of chrome, just body color for the door handles and
black for all the window surrounds and mirrors. A small trunk lid
melds nicely with the raked rear windshield and droops down over
the rear of the car to meet the neoprene rear bumper cover.
Honeycomb style taillights flank this trunk and hold an integral
reverse light for each side. Satin finish 16" 10 spoke aluminum
wheels finish off this family sedan nicely and are wrapped in like
new blackwall rubber. A shout out to the trunk, which is more
spacious than one would think, plus has the added benefit of fold
down rear seats for hauling those longer loads.
Interior
A swing of any of the doors and we are met with tri-toned textured
plastic door panels, the drivers holding the controls for the power
windows, locks and mirrors. A redesign of the interior makes for a
much more contemporary design and less plasticky feel, and these
door panels show that well. Peering inside we see the manually
adjusted Medium Light Stone broadcloth colored front bucket seats
with a long center console racing between them. The console has a
nice armrest that doubles as the lid for an ample sized storage
compartment, cupholders, and chrome accented shifter. The airbag
equipped wheel, complete with cruise control buttons fronts a
redesigned gauge cluster with Ice Blue backlit fully digital
display. Flowing down the center of the dash is a digital clock and
message center, factory AM/FM/CD changer stereo and heater and A/C
push buttons and knobs. A large bench seat in the rear offers
comfort for 3 adults with surprisingly good legroom, especially for
the outboard passengers. Like new tan carpets provides the base for
the almost new interior and above a tan cloth headliner, nice and
tight with various courtesy lights and hand holds is seen.
Drivetrain
Lifting the hood, we are met with a very clean engine bay holding
the original 2.5 liter 4-cylinder that makes a respectable 175hp.
Attached is an Aisin F21 6-speed automatic which transfers power to
the front drive wheels via a 3.31 geared axle. All showroom new and
barely broken in.
Undercarriage
With only a slight spattering of road dirt and a few small spots of
surface rust on untreated components all is like new down below.
4-wheel independent suspension is on along with 4 wheel power ABS
equipped disc brakes. The original exhaust is in place and looks
just fine.
Drive-Ability
Since my crack decoder had the privilege of piloting an older model
Fusion for almost 160,000 trouble free miles, he handed me the keys
to our consignment and sent me on my way. On our test track it gave
a firm but comfortable ride and the interior gave generous space
for even my ample frame. Acceleration was on par with most modern
sedans of the era and shifting was smooth. Under panic braking the
car came to a bias free stop and even after my drive I continued to
play with the various functions and doo-dads that this Ford has to
offer. A very nice driving car.
With the market being what it is you'd be hard pressed to pass up
this 2010 Motor Trend Car of The Year and IIHS Top Safety Pick.
Especially with the barely broken in 12,383 original miles, nice
factory applied paint, and clean interior. A car for the masses,
loaded with standard options and waiting for you in our West
mallway. Life In Drive!
