"My husband and I had been shopping around for a different vehicle for several months. Trying to decide should we go crossover or car. We have 2 tall children and needed more leg room in the back seat plus we want to try for another child and wanted room for an additional car seat. We decided that purchasing a car would be the more financially responsible choice. We purchased our 2009 ford fusion sel on 12/3/11 and we absolutely love it and so do the kids. We are averaging 33mpg. The seats are combination leather and cloth and are extremely comfortable. Handling is awesome! we drove it home from the dealer in icy road conditions and had no trouble at all. The Sync and 8 speaker stereo are incredible. I love that i can connect my smartphone and play my mp3's. My husband was sold on the cup holder lights changing colors. LOL. Overall this is a fantastic car at a fantastic value!"

"I purchased a used 2009 SEL 4 cylinder Fusion from a Ford dealer back in May. it had 42K miles on it. I was not too happy to discover the little 4 banger only got around 22MPG in the city. the Hwy milage is great. around 33MPG. then the air circ fan for the cabin started making a terrible sqweeking noise. I took it apart, lubricated and tighten and fixed the problem but I had to lay upside down on my head in the psngr footwell to do it. recently the AC went out. coolant sprayed out on hot engine and I knew there was trouble. haven't taken to dealer yet, hoping they will cover on warranty but my guess is they won't. I've heard other Fusion owners have the same complaint of AC going out. worried that my first foray into Ford ownership was Foolish."

"Very impressed with the handling and performance of the 2.3 4cyl. Very comfortable on long trips. Gas mileage is a little disapointing for a 4 cyl but it is right on the EPA ratings of 22/28. Mine has the Blue Suede package so it also has the sport suspension with the 18" wheels. Synch system makes driving much safer. The 2.3L has a surprisingly flat torque curve and good top end power. Sport seats are very comfortable."

"I was tired of the reliability issues with the 03 Explorer...bearings, drive shafts, seals, etc. Was routinely spending $$$ to keep it running / operating properly as I like my cars. Hated the mileage too and I expect that to only get worse. Love driving a truck based vehicle but it was time to make a change after 135k miles. Found a used 4 cyl with lots of options, sport appearance package, sun & sync package. Got the 4cy for mileage as I average over 20k miles a year. So far very happy with purchase. Quality materials in & out...and I am rather picky. The leather seats are very supportive and wrap around me like I'm in something more costly...fee great. It has enough pep for me and handles like a go cart. I wanted an 09 over the new style as I value simplicity inside the cabin...the new interiors are too busy for me. Straight forward and simple is what I like and this has it. It turns heads and is everything I expected thus far."

"I bought the SEL version of this car about two months ago. Mine features the V6, leather interior, 6 disc changer, Microsoft Sync system, and power sunroof. It's my first Ford, a make I never thought I would own. I have been very happy with the reliability, styling, and price that I got it for. I took it on a road trip that covered about 2500 miles recently. I didn't have to run the AC very often and averaged about 26.5 MPG with the cruise set at 80 mph. The only aspect that left me wanting for more with this car is the low end performance. It accelerates at a comfortable rate, but I prefer a little bit more quickness off the light. However, I was very happy with how fast it will increase from 75 up to 95 MPH on the interstate. I have also compared the interior features to that of the Accord, which I was also considering purchasing. I felt that the Fusion's presentation of the same functions was more simplified and user friendly. The handling and road noise are about what you would expect of a midsized sedan. This car cost thousands less than the last one that I bought (Chevy Trailblazer), but was much better equipped. I would highly recommend this car to anyone desiring a well priced, reliable, and stylish ride that can be appreciated by people young and old."

"The Fusion is a comfortable, long-distance cruiser that is packed with features. The base engine delivers acceptable (but no neck-snapping) performance; mated with the standard 5-speed manual, drivers will likely exceed EPA estimates by 2-4 MPG (highway). Emergency handling is very good with the car providing good road feel through the steering wheel and ample warning before the rear kicks out. I do fault the turning radius (you'll use most of a standard road width to do a 180 turn), and the interior styling is a bit dated. Still, this is a great value for the dollar, a reliable form of transportation, and a pleasure to drive."

"I wouldn't be too concerned about the 2010 redesign: the interior has remained essentially unchanged and the exterior is marginally different. However, because of this redesign there are great deals on the 2009 and prior Fusions. I purchased the base S trim level 5-speed and have been extremely impressed with it. Even on the bottom trim level, features such as MP3 input, power windows, door locks, and remote keyless entry came standard. Besides looking great, the car drives very well. The engine is quiet (though using the a/c creates a muted hum) and the drive feel is very well-refined. The car has enough power not to feel lacking, but don't expect to win any drag races either :) I would highly recommend this vehicle to anybody looking for a stylish, reliable, and comfortable car with a reasonable price."
