The driving experience of my V-6 SE great

Handling is very good. The cloth seats fit both me and wife, unusual for us. V-6 performance is also very good. This one us a keeper, so we'll take good care of it.

We purchased used with 20,000 miles

Oil changes every 6000 miles with tire rotation; in 2020 replaced front and back brakes; no other maintenance other than factory recalls. Now 2020, 86000 mikes in excellent condition inside and out.

No complaints!

Very roomy, comfortable and drove nicely. No complaints and I took it on a 3000 mile round trip drive right after purchasing and had no issues.

Most comfortable car that I have ever owned.

For the longest time I had driven Chevy after Chevy, (5 of them to be exact), and had encountered many severe issues and had been stranded by 3 out of the four of them, including a blown transmission, a snapped frame along with a gas line coming out of the gas tank, and a security system malfunction which wouldn't allow it to run. Every single one had a check engine light and was very unreliable. My 2012 Chevy equinox was the worst. It needed a transmission, all new brakes, a tie rod, wheel bearing and ball joint within the first 2 months of owning the vehicle. Now, I was never very fond of Ford just based off what I had heard. However, after encountering multiple friends of mine, who have strong obsessions and a pure passion for fords, including 2 of my mechanic friends who work on vehicles every day, they insisted I buy a ford based off of reliability, and simplicity to work on, after I had transitioned to a Toyota. After reading these comments on here, some of you have also transitioned form a Foreign vehicle to an American vehicle and do not seem to regret it. I am always in the market for a new vehicle, as I was sick of my Chevy's, and finally considered purchasing a ford vehicle. I wanted a comfortable commuter car with good gas mileage and reliability. I began looking and came across the ford fusion. I am 6'1 and 300lbs. I test drove a 2012 Ford Fusion SEL with only 67,000 miles on it. I fit perfectly fine. It is loaded with leather seats, Bluetooth, and all of the bells and whistles you could imagine. It handled extremely well, had plenty of power, plenty of room, and almost 30 mpg combined. I was pleasantly surprised with the car, and ended up purchasing since my friend who is a mechanic has the exact car and had done nothing in 150,000 miles except beat it up and has only replaced brakes. I purchased the car approximately two (2) months ago, and have driven it approximately four (4) thousand miles. The only thing I have done to the car is put gas in it and put it in gear. It has yet to fail me, has no dash lights of any kind, and I intend to keep this car until I purchase a truck and no longer need it. I am by far surprised with this car and would buy another in a heartbeat. Way to go Ford you have made a very nice vehicle. If anyone is hesitant on buying this car don't be, you wont be disappointed. (This is coming from an original Chevrolet fan). Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy your new ride!

Good fuel economy and the car drives and rides very comfortably. Compared to other cars I have owned, this car is much more comfortable than I usually purchase for commuting to and from work. I drive 124 miles round trip.
