Explore the 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid

This is the most reliable car I have ever owned!!

I was skeptical about buying a Ford, but this car has been one of the most reliable cars I have ever owed....and fuel efficient. In almost 9 year of ownership, we have done little more than tires, batteries, and oil changes.

This car has been the best car I’ve ever owned.

I qualify my statement by saying that I purchased the car used with 32000 miles. I now have 288210 miles on it and it still looks like new. Interior has held up nicely and except for a few paint chips from road travel, the paint is excellent. I will look to purchase a Ford Fusion again. Oh, did I mention that it’s a hybrid and still gets 38mpg.

Great gas mileage, comfortable road-trip car

This car meets all my needs. It gets great gas mileage with an average of 35 mpg ( better in city worse on freeway) and is a comfortable easy to drive car. Love the bluetooth functionality and heated seats. Overall definitely recommend.

Comfort, safe handing, swings in MPG

I bought this car at 70,000 miles and have driven it for three seasons. My 2011 Fusion Hybrid is very sensitive to uphill / downhill driving to and from my workplace (7.4 miles). The gauge readout panel that shows the rising and lowering miles per gallon (60+ to 0) at the moment along with the green leaves being added or removed on the vines are a challenge for me to obtain the best possible gasoline fuel mileage. During the summer, I get about 53 miles per gallon of gasoline downhill to work and about 40 miles per gallon uphill from work. On the freeway this summer, I found the vehicle was better than expected at 40.5 miles per gallon. The fuel mileage does drop quite a bit during cold winter driving as the gasoline engine runs a lot more until the temperature gauge registers about 1/2 warmed up. The high-revving gasoline motor while cold also caused heavier breaking to slow down the Fusion Hybrid. During temperatures below 40 degrees, I get about 39 miles per gallon downhill to work and about 30 miles per gallon uphill from work. In autumn and winter the car's interior windows tend to fog up, so it is necessary to run the defrosters more than my previous car, the 1996 Plymouth Breeze. One repair was the result of the interior turn signals flashing very fast (with no rear exterior turn signals), resulting in an $800 repair. The car has very comfortable seats and seat adjustments, and the telescoping steering wheel makes for greater than normal comfort when a large heavy jacket in winter pushes me toward the dashboard. When the car is warmed up, the car is very quiet. I always was a person who used a key to unlock my car doors until the purchase of this vehicle, so I am still wanting to use a key to open the Fusion's door lock. But I must press the remote "unlock" button on the key or risking setting off the alarm within a few seconds of opening the car door. I like the various heat and air conditioning settings and the fan adjustment buttons, but to be picky, I would suggest the heat and fan buttons in the next updated version to be as large as the radio buttons. If I had a redo chance, I would purchase this car again.

Fanciest and most reliable car I have owned.

It was great, except for the Front Passenger side Takeka (sp?) airbag which was among the apparently millions recalled since 2016. Otherwise, it was a truly wonderful car and got great gas mileage! As long as you ensure the defective original Front Passenger Air Bag was replaced, I recommend it highly.

Great for those in small towns or big cities

The hybrid cars are definitely taking over the roads, because we're trying to conserve resources, and lower emissions. Being now 7 years old, this car still performs very well considering the current advancements in technology. The engine fired up every time with the start-stop technology, the electric motor would move you along at up to 45 mph. I was easily getting city fuel economy at 40 mpg, but I mostly drive highway now, and it gets about 35 mpg. Microsoft Sync is definitely a great addition, I can listen to music, talk on the phone, and for some phones it can read your text messages for you.

Great on gas

Biggest plus is the gas mileage. For a seven year old car to get 40 miles a gallon is amazing to me. Its quiet, comfortable and gets up big hills pretty well. Large trunk space and several storage areas on the interior.

FORD FUSION IS AWESOME

I have owned two FORD Fusions, one was regular fuel and the other was a Hybrid. The Hybrid was loaded with extras and the acceleration is much better than one would expect. The interior is designed very well and is very comfortable. The Fusions are, in my opinion, the best car for a road trip. They are very comfortable, get great gas mileage, and the handling is excellent.

Nicest car I?ve own, and full of features

This may be one of the best cars I?ve owned. It?s a 2011 Hybrid, so of course it gets amazing gas mileage. Also, the interior is packed with features. Sunroof, 6-disc changer, Sony stereo (with something like 11 speakers), heated seats, digital dash, built-in Bluetooth.... The list goes on and on. I would have like a little better styling, but I bought this for value and mileage. If I was only interested in styling I?d have bought the Sport model.
