A Fun Mid-sized Sedan

I had a Town Car that needed repair, so I rented a car from Enterprise. They rented me a 2017 Fusion SE Hybrid, and I fell in love in 3 days. I went to Enterprise Sales and bought a pre-owned one, and am in love with the darn thing. It is more comfortable than my Town Car and is fun to drive. It handles like a sports car around the curves, and it is quiet and tightly built. Best car I've ever owned, and I've had a LOT of them.

Good if you want to buy a rental.

I drove one for a week as a rental. My wife test drove another we thought about buying. They were OK, but I soon realized that a lot of these 2017s in Kansas City - Wichita region were high-mileage rentals. The prices were OK, but the best years of the cars had been used up. Furthermore, several hand branded titles or reported to be in accidents. Credit the dealers for pointing this out, but buyers must consider this carefully when making a purchase. Finally, Consumer Reports had much better ratings for the 2016 Fusion Hybrid. We bought one and recommend it over the 2017.

Very pleased.

I am very pleased with the 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid Titanium I purchased two months ago. It has met all of my expectations in terms of performance, quality, and comfort.

Nice Car, But Somewhat Cramped

I leased this vehicle with a two-year contract and will not purchase when the lease is up next year. This is a car with lots of technology but the comfort for an older person like myself (I'm 70) is really not there. I broke a piece off my patella and had to wear a knee immobilizer. It was really difficult entering and exiting the vehicle (this is understandable). Even without the immobilizer my leg room seemed insufficient unless I pushed the seat all the way back (I most rode as a passenger) but I couldn't do that when I have adult passengers in the back seat. When I drove, the car drove very nice and has lane departure, automatic cruise control (adjusting speed for the vehicles in front of me), an excellent (best even over the luxury vehicles like Lexus) rear camera, automatic dimming headlights (I really love this feature), and an excellent radio with Sirius. Air conditioning, heating, air-cooled and heated leather seats (highly recommend having)are all high quality. The car looks nice, drives nice, but I just can't get used to the lack of roominess.

My first car!

I love this car! The only thing I wish it had is the alert beeping when going in reverse. The camera is great, just wish I got an alert that I?m too close. I was convinced I wanted a Ford Focus until I drove this one- so happy I moved forward with the fusion!

Love this car!

I just bought this vehicle and I absolutely love it!! It is so smooth and I love all of its features. 40 mpg or more also helps with the cost of fuel.

Nicest car I?ve ever owned

Met and exceeded all expectations. By far the coolest and nicest car I?ve ever owned. Couldn?t ask for a better car. I got family members that are looking for the same car I got because it?s been that good of a car.

Definetly gets all the jobs done.

I purchased this car in order to save on fuel economy. I was trading in a 2015 Dodge Challenger Hemi Shaker Pro, so I was used to power. The Fusion definitely surprised me with its peppy engine. It does get up and go, nothing like a V8 but you're also getting 40+ MPG. The interior styling is very attractive and modern compared to other sedans of its likings. The Sync 3 system is a major improvement from the prior ford systems. AppleCarPlay was a huge plus for me, makes the system look even more sleek. The headlights illuminate extremely far making it great for nighttime driving. I don't have many complaints.
