It's a good car, with a great ride. It floats over the road, and that type of ride only comes with a heavy car. If you need to accelerate fast to merge, it has plenty of power that will push you back into your seat. It's a PHEV & this type of car has its pros & cons. The Pros are if you drive it very conservatively, you will get 2,000 miles from a tank of gas. The most I had from a tank was 4,000+ miles. There isn't much maintenance. I have 93,000+ miles on it and just replaced the rear disc brakes. I haven't done the front yet. The Electric motor does most of the braking while regenerating the battery. You don't change the oil every 10,000miles, as 80% of my driving has been on the battery. The more you use the battery, the less you use the gas engine, which means less maintenance on the gas engine and I might have 25,000 miles on the engine. It's best to replace the tires with the same tires it came with. I switched to a Consumer Report tire that was rated excellent for rolling resistance and LOST 8 miles out of a charge. That's 1 Con. Others are, in the cold weather, if you use the heat you will only get about 8 electric miles(Maybe). Even if you don't use the heat, cold weather will reduce your electric range. Another con is the constant 100% charge will reduce your battery's capacity over time. When it was brand new, on a hot day, without A/C I would get 26 miles on a charge, now I get 16 to 18 miles in the summer. The ride is the best since the "Land Yachts" of the 1970s.

After a few years this thing will be nothing but headaches and a money black hole. Look elsewhere

Bought this car new in 2017. Drives great but battery now is only at 50% capacity after 5 years. How is EV the answer if it loses 50% of range over 5 years. That would be like a gas car initially getting 40 mpg then 5 years later getting 20 mpg. Warranty only covers total failure. First and last EV for me.

I've had my car now for a little over a month and I have to tell you I am pretty impressed with Ford so far. I've driven Honda and Toyotas most of my life but decided to buy a vehicle that looked nice and had decent gas mileage. I've test-driven several cars and was not a big fan of the plastic style dashboards... Ford has really done a great job with its interior making it feel like you're driving in luxury. My Ford Fusion feels like I'm riding on air and I love the sound system when stuck in traffic, very comfortable. Ford Fusion has sharp looks and delivers for a midsize sedan. I love the plug-in feature giving me pretty good gas mileage... family and friends seem to be impressed that I can plug and go lol. I'm also very impressed and pleased with the roominess of the vehicle my kids have grown and they sit comfortably when I pick them up taking them around town. I could go on and on but what really sets this car apart is the shark looks, beautiful interior and gas mileage.
