The first-generation Ford Fusion arrived for the 2006 model year, replacing the long-running Taurus and marking a significant step up for Ford's mid-size sedan game. Built on the Mazda-derived CD3 platform, it was praised for its competent handling and modern design. Powertrain options initially included a 2.3L inline-4 and a 3.0L V6, with a 2010 facelift adding a powerful 3.5L V6 for the new Sport trim and a popular Hybrid model.
While not a traditional collector car, certain first-gen Fusions hold interest for enthusiasts. The 2010-2012 Sport model, with its 263 hp V6 and available all-wheel drive, is the clear performance pick. Even rarer are the early V6 models equipped with a manual transmission, which offer a unique analog driving experience in a modern package. These specific variants are the ones most likely to see appreciation.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust in the rear wheel wells and on the subframe, a common issue in areas that use road salt.
- The dashboard on 2010-2012 models is known for bubbling and peeling around the passenger side airbag.
- On V6 models, listen for noise from the timing chain area, as water pump failure is a known and expensive repair.
- Test drive automatics carefully, as the 6F35 transmission in many models can develop harsh shifting or slipping.
- Manual transmission models are rare and more desirable to enthusiasts, especially the early V6 stick-shift cars.
