New to the forum....so hello to all.

 

I am looking to purchase a 2007 Fusion SE V6 with about 11K miles. Any issues I should be aware of? I am looking at the Fusion or a 2005 Camry....any comments?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

No issues that I can remember. Get the Fusion - you'll love it! The Camry is boring by comparison.

One of my concerns is how it handles in the snow. I have a steep long driveway I have to climb to get to the office and would like some insight on how it handles in the snow. (I currently have an AWD audi that is great in the snow and know I am spoiled.)

 

Thanks.

Hi zipit. :D Like abirby stated, no common issues to worry about.

 

Concerning handling in the snow: I have a 2007 MKZ with the stock Michelin Energy MXV4 tires (I believe the Fusion comes with either Michelin Pilots or Continentals, according to trim level), and have had no problems with snow/winter handling.

 

Of course, all other variables being equal, it will not handle as well as an AWD vehicle, but if that is a major concern you can always look for an AWD Fusion. In reality, winter handling of a FWD vehicle is more dependent on the type/ability of tires on the vehicle than the vehicle itself. So you can always install snow tires for the winter on the Fusion instead of the All Season tires which come standard. I am not sure where you are located and doubt that would be a necessity, but the option is always there.

 

I think you will be pleased with the Fusion.

 

Good luck. :beerchug:

Hi,

 

I have a 2006 V6 SE. Love it. It has been a great car. I even get compliments on it.

 

Cheers,

 

Will

As the owner of a 2007 AWD Fusion, I can say you will not be disappointed with the handling in the snow.
