"Been buying and driving all makes and models of cars since 1967. None have compared more favorably to this one. This is a quiet, excellent handling, comfortable, roomy, high tech and dependable ride. Favorite features : Perpendicular center stack which maximizes space for driver and passenger comfort AND 3-D instrument lighting in red, white and blue colors. Also of extreme interest: Owned 2 years now with 28,000 miles accumulated and total cost of maintainance being 50 bucks for 2 oil changes. Two years since bought and still have yet to see any midsize car on the road it's equal. This car's standard features are other cars's in it's segment pricier add ons. The SYNC from Microsoft for Ford puts other manufacturers in dash electronic systems to shame. Flawless handsfree talking functionality for all input devices such as MP3 players and cell phones. Do not need aftermarket stereo with this baby as SONY stereo is awesome. Many many safety features including MyKEY which allows parents to set controls to monitor and control teen drivers. This car is so smart it keeps track of itself and regularly sends emails and/or texts for owner and also is updatable ( yearly updates dowloaded to thumb drives which in turn downloaded to usb port in car ) to allow for future advancements in SYNC technology and car internals computer to be integrated into vehicle. Last but not least: EVERYONE who I let drive it or has ridden in it cries when they have to leave it to ride in or drive another car. Owned a fully loaded full size luxury sedan before buying this car and do not miss it one bit!"

"You won't go wrong if you purchase any Ford product, especially not the Fusion. I purchased my 2011 Ford Fusion SE 6 speed manual with the Sport Appearance Package and Sun and SYNC package in December of 2010 and couldn't be happier. SYNC is by far a deal maker. It functions as advertised and I love it. The handling is impressive, especially for a midsize sedan. The double wishbone front suspension setup really grips the road, even with the awful stock all season tires. The 2.5 liter Duratec gets great gas mileage and is peppy for a four pot. It never feels underpowered in this 3300 pound midsizer. I would recommend this over any other midsize sedan in the segment."

"I get better mpg than advertised. 38 Hwy and 36.7 mixed. The car is comfortable enough I can drive two hours before needing a break. The trunk has plenty of space for shopping. The back seats fold down so I can carry something 6 ft long easy and 8 ft if I really try. The transmission is shifts smooth most of the time. Once in a while in low gear when it still cold there is a rough shift. The only downside if you want to call it that, is that when I go from a stop it takes off so quick. I need to get used to a really light touch on the gas peddle!"

"This car is as good as anything Toyota or Honda puts out and at a price point that makes it the best value. My "Sport" version handles extremely well, has every conceivable technology option and feels like quality all around. Accord and Camry zombies.....don't be brainwashed - the Fusion is worth of your consideration."

"I bought this car after mistakenly buying a Saturn. I get great gas milage, its comfortable, reliable, and sporty. My only complaint is it needs a little extra umph for passing other cars. I have put 26000 miles on it in a year and look foreward to putting another 26000 miles on it in the next year. It is a great car!"

"I purchased a loaded Fusion Sport, $33,000 on the sticker. This car has everything. Unfortunately some of it does not work. I had the AC in 4 or 5 times last summer to 2 different dealers. I thought it was fixed but it is not working well now that it's getting hot out again. Molding fell off into the trunk. I had an oil leak that required removing the engine to fix. In the winter my power driver window would not stay up. These are basic things, not SYNC or some modern electronics. These should function properly on any new car. I'd been away from Ford for 20 years and am very sorry I went back. It's been a year of nothing but problems and still no fix on the AC."

"We owned a Toyota Camry and although I heard good things about Ford, I was really anxious about not buying Toyota again. I waited one year before I said anything about this car - Bottom line: WOW, I love it. Much better made than our Camry, no problems and better gas mileage than advertised. I am now a loyal FORD buyer (my goodness)."

"The styling of this car is great and is what originally sold me on the car. The car stereo is really good as well. I recommend the Sport model if you are looking for a spirited ride. The seats are comfortable and if you live in a colder climate in the winter, I highly recommend either to have the heated seats or the remote start option. The car runs smooth on the highway but if the road is a little wet, be prepared to spin the tires a little, especially in the sport model. The only real downside I can come to would be the gas mileage. As such that would be the downside about the sport model. I am averaging about 19-20 mpg. All in all, the car is a reliable car and it rides nice. I would recommend it. Ford did it right for the Fusion."
