CARS.COM — Ford introduced the Fusion Hybrid as a way for buyers to save fuel safely wrapped in the skin of a mid-size sedan, eschewing the shout-out-loud looks of a typical hybrid. The composed ride, Sync 3 multimedia system and 42-mpg combined average is easy to warm up to, but one owner was left feeling a little cold in a key area.
“I recently traded in my 2013 Fusion for the 2017 Fusion Hybrid. So far, I love the Hybrid. … However, these past two or three months, living in Nebraska in the dead of winter, I have found that the floor vent on the driver side is completely inadequate. It is much smaller than my previous Fusion’s vent and, even on high airflow to the floor, there is not much output. And don’t plan on sharing airflow in two places at once. You pretty much have to pick one spot for air at a time. Plan to wear heavy socks and warm shoes in cold climates. Your feet will freeze.”
