Not a bad little 4-banger

2013 Ford Fusion S 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
First of all, this is a 4cyl, and it's going to shift like a 4cyl. The difference is in the EcoBoost engine. When getting on the highway, this thing really has a lot of pep and get-up-and-go. The ride is so comfortable I've had people say it rides like a Merc, very smooth, very nice. My one major complaint is with the SYNC and Bluetooth features. They're not 100% reliable and don't … work properly all the time. Mine has a tendency to get "stuck" after reading a text message and I have to switch the radio on and off again to reset it. It doesn't always hear my voice properly when telling it simple stuff like, "call dad".... did you say, call vet? Call dad..... did you say, call Frank? I don't have a funny accent either... I speak perfect English. Defeats the purpose of hands-free when I have to stop and look at my phone to find the contact I want my car to call. Yes, we're spoiled, 5 years ago this didn't exist.
The transmission sometimes has problems finding the right gear to sit in on inclines, but it's active assist on the descent saves your brakes and makes up for it.
My husband is 6'1" and 250lbs, he fits in the front seats very comfortably, not so much in the back though. I feel bad when I have to stick him back there in favor of my mother. :)
You can literally fit 9 bodies in the trunk, don't ask me how I know that.
I'm not 100% comfortable with an electronic parking brake, if that's one thing I could change on this car, that would be priority.
Follow-up on gas milage after 1,000 miles

2013 Ford Fusion S 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
14.5mpg back and forth to work 1 1/2 miles each way.
Down a hill there, up a hill back.
Also, cold here, let car warm up until tach drops below 1,000 rpms before engaging transmission.
30's on back roads, and highway.
Not unhappy with car, just surprised.
Very satisfying car to drive.
Beautiful to look at.
Solid.
Enjoyable.
Engine winds out with a performance-oriented sound.
Auto trans … well suited to 2.5l engine.
Winds out right to redline.
Terrible

2013 Ford Fusion S 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
I bought a ford fusion in July 3013, Brand new, off the lot. It drove well for the first month then started having problems. I had to have the driver module replaced, the fuel pump replaced twice and every time it gets cold the car breaks down. I got it fixed yesterday, drove it for abou8t 24 hours and it broke down again. It died in an intersection and would not start again. This is the … fourth time Ive had this problem. It usually starts up again after trying several times to start it but lately it refuses. I hate this car. Im trading it in for a honda or something and I dont recommend ANYONE to EVER buy [non-permissible content removed] FORD FUSION.
FORD HAS A WINNER!

2013 Ford Fusion S 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
Traded my 2013 Nissan Altima which was an absolute piece of crap!
The Fusion is as close to perfection as any car I've ever owned. Quiet, smooth, great all around.
Absolutely no complaints and hoping it'll stay that way.
