2012 Ford Fusion Hybrid consumer reviews

It is a very reliable , practical 4 door sedan with decent trunk room. gets 35mpg and drives smooth and brakes well. has XM and SYNC system and bluetooth. I like the seat position , not low like most hybrids and no one knows its a hybrid unless they look at badge. one small drawback is rear seats wont go down due to hybrid battery.

After driving the Pilot, Ridgeline, Highlander, Santa Fe, and several others, the Sorento EX V6 was by far the best value for my money. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is like a Lexus and it handles almost like a sedan. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology! On my first 500+ mile trip, I averaged 28.8 mpg. If you're looking for a new crossover in this segment, put this one on your short list to test drive.

This car is awesome. I bought it new and it now has 180k miles and going strong inside and out!! Extremely dependable. Comfort and all safety features blind spot, back up camera are awesome. I love the start up. Just like a Golf car on electric.

I love the way my vehicle handles, the mileage and condition was amazing for a pre-owned vehicle. The trunk space is small, but not too small, I can carry anything and still parallel park with ease! The Mileage is great for the size of the vehicle as well, I can pretty much cross from one end of the state to the other with only a few refuels on the way!

Bought this Fusion with all the trimmings and have never regretted it. It's not a showstopper looks-wise, and the Navigation system takes some getting used to, but otherwise a real gas-sipper and very reliable! So glad I bought this.

I have owned my hybrid since buying it new in late 2011. It's been two years, and I love it. It is, buy far, the best vehicle I have ever purchased in all rated categories. I have had no problems with it at all! I drive conservatively (65 MPH highway, 45-50 MPH city), and the mileage I get, overall, is 41.8 MPG (that's the long-term mileage for the last 5000 miles)--you can see both short and long term mileage. If one drives even slower on the highway, at 60 MPH you can stretch the overall mileage to 42.9. The vehicle is designed to get better mileage in the city than at normal interstate speeds (70-75 MPH). I got all the bells and whistles (moonroof, backup camera, rain sensing wipers, 12 speaker sound system, leather interior, etc) and really enjoy driving the vehicle. Mine is the Platinum Pearl White color, and it looks as nice as the day I drove it off the showroom floor. This hybrid drives smooth and has plenty of pep. A lot has been written about the Ford navigation system, but I find t works just fine. If one does not like technology then don't purchase a new vehicle! It just takes getting use to and practicing with the modern touch inputs. I especially like the weather radar display (Sirius XM subscription). This was the LAST year of the original FORD Fusion design. 2013 completely changed, and all the bugs were previously rung out of this model year, so I can't speak for any following year (2013+). I think this is the best Ford Fusion hybrid year and definitely would have purchased again!

Tested Toyota hybrids and was not satisfied. Tested used 2012 Ford Fusion hybrid and was pleasantly surprised. Ride, handling and MPG have been great. Highway MPG exceeding EPA estimates. Great value for the $ cost.

This is the first Ford and first hybrid I have ever owned, and I am totally happy with it so far. It is quiet and efficient, but has plenty of pep when needed. Very comfortable, too. Am looking forward to trying a road trip soon. But my favorite part is stopping for fuel only half as much as I did previously!

This is the first American car I've purchased in 40 years--and it's a good one! Surprisingly luxurious, very good acceleration for a hybrid, quiet, smooth ride. You don't even notice when the Fusion Hybrid switches between electric mode and the gasoline engine and back. Great back support and seat adjustment. Real-world mileage tooling around Houston is between 33 and 35 mpg. With the spacious 17.5 gallon tank, I can drive almost 600 miles between fill ups! Gas tank utilizes the new capless design. I've got the loaded model with moon roof, side sensors and that wonderful backup camera. I don't know how I lived without it! And the Sony sound system is excellent. I'm less than thrilled with the terrible GPS interface--my Android smartphone is about a hundred times better. Even my old Tom Tom and Garmen units are far superior. It is almost useless unless you use Mapquest and Ford's Sync feature to send destination data to the GPS. All the touch screen features are a bit clunky--sort of like 1995-era interfaces. All are a bit awkward and non-intuitive. No excuse for this--if Ford used the Android interface and it would be far better IMHO.

A great customer assistance/sales person! Knowledgable no pressure. Experience was only exceeded by the car itself; a pleasure to drive. All the Bells and Whistles are very helpful with out being intrusive.
