What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2012 Ford Fusion generally appreciate its reliability, comfortable interior, and excellent fuel economy. Many drivers love the technology, specifically the Sync feature, and find it easy to maintain. However, some owners have experienced issues with reliability as mileage increases, particularly with electrical components, leading to mixed feelings about long-term satisfaction."
The car was in Good condition & The prices was great Not looking for any other model now
September 5, 2026Great car but the under carriage by back wheel is rusting under cars. Pay attention please other then that a great car.
September 30, 2026I loved this car. Very powerful and I enjoyed racing people and easily winning. Great handling around corners. Has a lot of technology in it. Very easy to park and drive around. Not many blind spots. The only bad thing is the tires spin very easily due to the power and only FWD version of it.

December 17, 2012Ive driven this car about a thousand miles since I purchased it. The interior is nice but nothing fancy. Controls are easy to reach and use. The ride is a little firm and you feel the bumps but the tires this used vehicle came with are cheap, cheap, and cheap. When I need to replace them with something better, I think the ride will improve. The car still handles and drives very well even with the sorry tires. My model has the base, inline four-cylinder engine. Its noisy if moderately pushed and feels somewhat underpowered. Fords inline four from this generation did have a reputation for long life and reliability which are important to me. Ive driven a Fusion like this that had the V-6 engine, and it is definitely a better fit for the car. It has more power and less vibration and noise but at the expense of less fuel economy. For me fuel economy was a definite factor, so I was fine with the four-cylinder engine. My model is the SE version. If you want the best overall experience, I would try to find a SEL model. That step up usually has the V-6 engine and most of the time the leather interior. Most SEL models have the automatic climate control system where you just set you temperature and the system adjust fan speed and heating/cooling to maintain the temperature. The base and SE like mine with manual controls you have to adjust fan speed and temperature yourself to keep the temperature you like. Overall, it seems to be a solid economical car and it isnt plagued by some of the reliability issues the current generation Fusions that began in 2013 have. If you decide you want one, Id look for a 2010 to 2012 model with the SE or SEL package. That seemed to be the best of the crop for that generation of the Fusion.
April 14, 2024very surprised how well this 4 door midsize car performs. Highly recommended No complaints. Excellent reliability and low cost maintenance. Strong brakes and taut yet comfortable suspension. Transmission very intuitive with shifts. Very quiet and secure on the highway. Excellent fuel economy and refined Engine. Passing and merging no problem
March 20, 2015My first impression when looking at it is a some what aggressive but conservative. It looks like a big car and it is for a midsize car. The materials in the interior are nice all around. I would prefer leather but the cloth seats are good. They are comfortable seats, i never get fatigued on my commutes and plenty of room for a six foot guy to stretch out. I think someone taller would have no problem either. Road noise is a minimum and the suspension smooths out the road nicely. The engine has a nice aggressive V6 sound when accelerating hard. Every day driving the engine is smooth and quiet. I feel the car has a little to much roll and dives easy when braking hard. What surprised me the most on this car is the gas mileage for such a big car and being a V6. The most I recorded is 32 mpg, but I usually average 29-30 mpg. I would highly recommend this car to someone that wants a great car for commuting and still big enough to haul family around.
July 16, 2014This car is a blend of the last four sedans Ive owned: Ford Taurus, Mazda6 (two of them), Saab 9-3, and Hyundai Sonata. Its nimble, quick, and fuel-efficient with the added benefit of domestic production. The interior is comfortable and well-appointed in the SEL trim with the Moon and Tune package featuring, Sony/MS surround system, sun/moon roof, fogs, rear spoiler etc.
June 8, 2023The car is beautiful inside and out, it’s practical but has luxury, it’s sporty and has a high safety rating. It’s everything that I could ask for in a car that’s for my daughter.
October 30, 2022I have the SE with the Moon and Tune. I like the standard 5 split 17 rims over the Sels and Sports rims. Fords SYNC, even the basic, works well. I have hands free Bluetooth conversations for an hour or 2 while driving, and the voice is great too. Streaming music from your phone, my car rocks and you will hear it if your within a block. I have the 2.5L I4 decent mpg, decent power, and great handling. The maintenance: oil changes, brakes, coolant, plugs, are very easy and quick. Handles good in the Minnesota winter. I upgraded to this over a 2003 Taurus, and would recommend over a Malibu, LaCrosse, Stratus, Versa Note, and even a new Buick Encore gx.
August 6, 2021It was really good car. Didnt have any major issues. Loved the Sync feature the most. Roomy and comfy.
