The worst car I've ever owned.

This car started having problems just a month after I drove it off the lot, including brakes not functioning properly, and now a defective airbag (Takata) that needs to be replaced. I'll never buy another Ford again.

Owned for 6 Years

I have owned my Fusion for more than 6 years and I love it. I have had some minor issues with some small items on the interior though. First the AC adapter came out of the socket where it needs to go. Second, the interior door handle to open the driver side door wore out and had to be replaced. Third, the hose for the windshield wiper fluid broke. I am not complaining too much though because after buying it certified, I put 140k miles on it. I do love the room in the interior, especially the leg room in the back seat. Unfortunately the redesign in 2013 took away some of the leg room, so I am more inclined to buy a VW Passat when I replace my beloved Fusion.

A great car, always reliable

A great car all around for basic use and comfort. It is not a race car, but it cover all of the other areas very well.

Great family sedan. Just needs brakes and oil

It?s my daily commuter and the occasional road tripper. Haven?t spent any money on repairs except for routine maintenance. Plenty of power on the V6, decent gas mileage, plenty of space for passengers and a huge trunk. I?ll keep it until at least 250k miles and then replace it with a newer (slightly used) version of the same model.

Has been a reliable car these past 7 years

When you look at price and value for the money, Fusion is hard to beat and there are cars that always have a nicer this or that and always will but the bottom line is reliability along with price. You don't always need all the bells and whistles when you are not in the repair shop most of the time and Fusion has kept the cost down for me. This is a good car for the money and that is what counts.

Reliable. Comfortable. Nothing Crazy.

This has been a great vehicle. I?ve had such a stigma around Ford as a company but the Fusion has been highly reliable and has stayed in good condition since I first purchased it. The performance and gas mileage are nothing exciting on the i4. I would suggest the V6 over the i4! Again. It?s been a great Car overall.

It was the most comfortable car I've ever drove.

The Fusion has decent trunk space, comfortable seating, and the ride is so smooth. I am looking into purchasing one in a few months.
