Good Points
Excellent drivers road view. Fairly practical, Feels like a big car. Nippy for parking, Easy entrance/exit. Handy storage compartments. Seat height adjustment.
Bad Points
Whiney power steering. Noisy engine. Lack of boot lip. Thirsty for a 1.4 engine. Basic, unattractive and plasticy dashboard. Poor rear visuality.
General Comments
Nice car to drive, mainly due to driving position. More suited for females. As the boot has no lip, shopping has a tendency to fall out once boot is opened after transit. Fortunately the Ford Fusion 2 1.4 City I have has parking sensors other wise parking could be awkward due to small rear window. Ford could have spent a little more time on some basic design issues and come up with a cracking little MPV, as it is the Fusion is let down by a number of minor points and bland looks.
