2012 Ford Fusion

Great mileage and very comfortable!

By S. (MA) on Friday, August 26, 2011

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 8,500

Pros: "Comfort, mileage, good looks"

Cons: "Steering on the soft side, trunk on the Hybrid small for the car size"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I purchased the 2010 Hybrid at a good discount because it was the last one on the lot, and have been driving it about 6 months. I love this car -- something I could never say about the Honda Civic I drove for 14 years. The seats are comfortable, the ride smooth and quiet and the mileage on the Hybrid much better than I could have hoped for. (I am averaging 43 mpg right now in the summer -- in the dead of winter it is about 33-35 mpg.) The Hybrid model came with all the bells and whistles on the dash, and I love having Bluetooth with voice control and the ability to play my phone's MP3 player in addition to the songs on my old Nano. I find driving it a pleasure -- very relaxing. Sure, it is not the car I'd like to taking zipping around picturesque curvy roads in the mountains -- but how often do I do that? This is my commuting car, and it is what I chill out in on the way home from work. I can't speak much to quality and maintenance since I haven't had the car long, but so far it has needed less repairs than my Honda did at this stage. The only reason I marked Value as 4 is I didn't buy this car at first because the Hybrid was so expensive -- it was only after I got the discount I took the plunge, and I am very happy I did!"

"I got a 2012 in july of last 2011, I love this car. Good on gas for a full size sedan, I always complimented on the looks of my car! It was a great buy for the money! Unfortunately I was involved in a head on collision after 6 mos of having it! IT SAVED OUR LIVES!! curtain airbags and a strong frame!!"

Long-time Japanese luxury car owner LOVES this car

By Rick (DC) on Tuesday, January 10, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 24,000

Pros: "Delight to drive, quiet, large enough for big guys"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"After twenty years driving Lexus, Acura and Infiniti sports sedans, I was a bit hesitant to consider a Ford. The only Ford I'd owned was a 1967 Mustang I'd restored back in the 80's. After 2.5 years with this car, I have to say, I'm still absolutely delighted with it! Although a hybrid, its 0-60 times best the 1967 Camaro SS (plenty fast). Off the line, where it counts in city driving, the electric motor is phenomenal and easily launches the car well in front of the neighboring cars making merges a stress-free delight. Solid car, handles very well, and plenty of space (I'm 6'4"). The vehicle (mine's loaded) is as lovely inside as the my last car (Infiniti G35, which I very much enjoyed). It's also been utterly trouble free. Oh, and it's immensely quiet inside (a great car for music lovers). My actual MPG after 24k miles is similar to the EPA sticker (41 city / 36 highway) despite my very "spirited" driving. In a heavy stop-and-go slog, I regularly get in the mid 40s, long 70-80 mph drives I net 37 mpg. My overall MPG has been 38.3. Highly recommend it!"

I'm very happy with the Fusion.

"This car has been trouble free and a great value, unike the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord I previously had. Mine is AWD and handles snow and ice very well. Plus, it's an American owned company and the money stays here in the USA. What was I thinking before?"
