SteveH Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Thinking of getting a Fusion. How does it handle in snowy winter driving? Heard one bad report, but it was second hand. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morry Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hi, When I bought my last Fusion in 2009 (an SEL V6 front wheel drive) I also bought Goodyear Nordic snow tires for it and in seven years and 175,000 kilometers I haven't been stuck once. I used it for work in this part of Canada and it never let me down. On one of our Christmas trips to Florida there was a bad snow storm in the mountains of Kentucky on the I 75 and we were still able to maintain a 50 mile per hour average with little stress on us. My biggest thrill was counting the large number of SUV's and all wheel drive vehicles we either passed or saw stuck at the side of the road. This last autumn Ford was offering a deal including free snow tires in Ontario so we moved up to the 2016, and so far it appears to be every bit as good. I hope this helps, Morry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The vehicle limitations are focused on the limited ground clearance, particularly the nose. The rest is most impacted by the tires you run - if you try to run 'summer' or 'performance all-season' tires in ice and snow, it won't perform all that well. Given the ground clearance limitations, AWD with dedicated winter tires will give you the best chance for getting to you destination without drama. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
