  • Had car less than 90 days before it broke!

    It’s the second time in less than 90 days it’s fails to start the second time leaving us stranded Christmas Eve. The times if talked to the sales department who I purchased the car from they have been little if any help.

  • Most reliable car I have ever driven

    The vehicle met all of my needs. I was so stressed because I always get stuck with unreliable cars. Well Jason Moore helped me find a reliable car and it is in my price range. I would definitely recommend Whitson Morgan in Ozark to everyone I know.

  • Best car I’ve owned

    This vehicle was a huge upgrade from the pervious car I owned and it’s amazing. It’s incredibly safe and comes with plenty of really nice features. The electric to gas is a great way to save money on gas. It’s the most comfortable vehicle I have ever been in. Very beautiful exterior as well as interior. I recommend this car to anyone who needs a safe, good looking, money saving car.

  • Amazing Car but too expensive

    This car is great. On an overall scale of 1-10 not including value it gets an 8/10. Looks great, drives great, super comfortable, but lacking something for the $40,000 I paid when I bought it. No Apple CarPlay, no adaptive cruise control, and I had a throttle body go out a year TO THE DAY into owning it. Speaks volumes about Ford's reliability. Would I buy this car again? Absolutely but for nowhere near what I paid...

  • Totally in Love with my Fusion Hybrid

    This car is amazing. I am totally in love with it. So silent, rides like a magic carpet. This vehicle is not only a dream to drive, but amazing on fuel mileage. We went on a vacation right after we bought it to Kentucky then to Virginia and back to Florida on $60 of fuel. LOVE LOVE LOVE this vehicle. Everyone should have one.

  • Great mpg in a full size car!

    This a great value car with lots of bells and whistles! Best of all it gets a consistent 43 mpg. As a big dude I need a full size car but didn?t want to sacrifice great gas mileage. Super comfortable for that maddening SoCal traffic! Big touch screen in the center console has great functionality. Did I mention the 43 mpg?! Love the rear parking sensors and back up camera. Only draw back is the small trunk due to the batteries. So bumbed when I heard ford will stop production in around 2020. I comparible Honda or Toyota will run $5-$8k more with the same options ford offers on the base model. This is my second fusion hybrid. I bought one of the very first editions in 2013 and quickly put over 100k miles on it. So happy I bought a new one 2 years ago.
