I just bought this car and am very happy with it. It drives well, looks like a sports car and has plenty of bonuses like a pop out Ash tray, which I will figure out what to do with as a non-smoking person. It has a fantastic huge trunk, security alarm and complete manuals for everything from the tires to Sirius XM and something called Microsoft voice connect!? Thanks Car gurus for my new vehicle!Dec 18, 2024

Ive 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.Apr 14, 2024
