Wee Man Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Hello, I currently have a 4x4 and commute 40 miles on country roads to work, so needs must and I need something cheaper to run. We have 2 kids (11 & 8), I sail boats (18ft Catamaran weighing 180kg plus trailer) so need a towbar. I've never owned a Ford before but I'm seriously considering a 55 plate Fusion 1.4 TDCI with 45k miles on the clock it's in a local garage at £5175. I'd very much appreciate any tips or things to look for? Does anyone tow with a Fusion, if so how does it perform? What's it like as a family car? Many thanks Wee Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosManta Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Have no concerns about the Fusion as a family car. It is try many people call it a "Fiesta on Vitamins" or worse, but actually the car is very confortable in the back seats, manily if you find the Fusion+ version. I am bit more concerned about the boat. I don't have a tow on mine, and no experience with boats, but I don't reckon the car will be up to the job (I own the 1.4 TDCI) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Man Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Thanks for the reply, The boat towing isn't such a big issue, I'll just have to get my helm to do all the towing :-) I've pretty much convinced myself that the Fusion ticks enough the boxes, will be easy to live with and should pay for itself compared to the truck I have at the moment.
