On his way home from work on a Friday evening, my husband’s 2008 Fusion was rear ended by a truck going over 50 miles per hour as he was stopped on an exit ramp from the highway. We were both amazed at how well constructed the Fusion was made, and how well it stood up to such a forceful impact. We could plainly see that the car took the impact the way it was designed to do, and the main body of the car stayed intact. My husband walked away from the crash with minor whip lash, but we were more impressed with the fact that the back seat did not crumple at all. Even if our 1 year old son had been in the back of the car with him, our son would have been soundly protected. We could not have asked for more from our car in regard to the safety of our family. The car ended up being a total loss, but neither him nor I hesitated when we had to replace his car, and now feel completely safe in a 2009 Fusion. Thanks for such a great product!
