Solid and trustworthy car

This has been my very first car and I am really happy with my choice. Even though I bout it used it still functioned without any problems, which I love since I know basically nothing about how to fix even the smallest problems with a car.

12 Fusion - Super Car

I love driving this car. Very comply and handles great. I have the I4 engine which is not as tough sounding as the v6, but plenty of pep.

Awesome Car with really great reliability!

No confusion with this fusion, Lol This car handles great, has great looks and is very reliable. At 97k miles and going strong! I've only replaced a battery and 1 set of tires at 70k miles. You'll feel comfortable in the seats even on longer trips. This SE model fitted with the 4 cylinder takes off the line fairly well and gets a lot livelier after 15-25 mph at full throttle. It is strongly suggested by Ford Service for all Ford vehicles to use the correct Motorcraft/Ford oil filter and it's specific oil to keep the engine in top shape and I couldn't agree more (I tested difference first hand). If your looking for a really great car, you'll find it in this Ford Fusion. Certainly the best car I've owned!

Excellent

Great car. Awesome paint job. Clean and comfortable. Rides very smooth. Quiet. Couldn't ask for a better ride at such an affordable price. Purchased from the Plymouth Colonial Ford Dealership from a great caring and professional team!

Can't Beat it for the Money

Let's not compare the everyman's Fusion to a Beemer. But Ford manages to build a very good car for what it costs BMW to build just half a car. If you're in to prestige brands, go blow your money, but for the price the Fusion is a fine car.

best experience in buying a car

We purchased a 2012 Fusion from Vroom. We were very happy with the way they handled all aspects of the sale. We love the car and it's performance.

Seeking comfort

Good car for the money, but it does have issues. It doesn't give a smooth ride and it can get very noisy if the road is rough. (the automatic volume adjusting on the stereo helps) I'm going to try different rims and tires to see if that helps, but the seats are VERY comfortable, in fact they were the deciding factor in this purchase. Also, it does not shift smoothly, which takes some getting use to. I read quite a few reviews mentioning this issue. So far no major problems. Will up date if anything major pops up. Gas mileage is great!

Impressed

Bought a used 2.5 4cylinder, loaded SEL with 19k miles from Taylor Ford 8 months ago. It now has almost 40k with a lot of interstate driving. A lot of pleasant surprises. It has yet to get under 30 mpg, sometimes under perfect weather and road conditions, it got over 38 mpg. Other pluses, roomy interior, huge trunk for a mid size car, vault quiet, no rattles or squeaks, comfortable seats and ride, intuitive controls and switches, decent performance and handles very well. Can't think of any negatives or nagging features.
