Skydogz Report post Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) It made me sad to part with my five year old Fusion SE. It had just under 50,000 miles and I felt almost the perfect car getting me avg 40 mpg.But when my dad gave me his mustang and I drove it exclusively for a month, my left knee problem went away! Get back in my Fusion, knee ache returned! I do not get an ache driving my wifes Mercedes and not in my new (2017 used) Audi. So investigating my leg position in the Fusion I found that the left foot rest was closer to me than the brake pedal this caused an awkward foot position that took over four years to develop into a constant knee ache for me! So my knee is now fine, I think the Fusion is a great car but if you have a left knee problem experiment for yourself Edited June 14, 2019 by Skydogz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just purchased one as my weekend ride. Since it's a manual, both my legs will be getting a workout! ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billford Report post Posted June 15, 2019 I dont own a mustang, but when I have driven them in traffic for an extended time, my left leg starts hurting from the clutch. Otherwise, I love the mustang on a highway cruise. Haven't had any pains from the fusion so far... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mwr Report post Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) So my knee is now fine, I think the Fusion is a great car but if you have a left knee problem experiment for yourselfDriver comfort and preferences are very individual. I find my 2015 FFH to be the most comfortable car of any (of the many) that I've had. A friend rented an FFH and said he would never buy one because of the wide A pillars that interfered with his vision. Years ago I test drove a very popular VW Passat and found the visibility to be poor, like driving a tank. To each his/her own.
