Two generations ago Ford Fusion was basically a modernized K Car. It was solid, but boring. Last gen featured the curvy new Aston Martin design. Big step up, comfortable, nice ride, Sync and Sync 2 was a disaster. With this latest refresh and Sync 3 they really nailed it. There are so many thoughtful touches like the door unlocks by touching the handle and there are lights underneath the side view mirrors so that you can see where you are stepping out. The ride is Lexus quiet, and I would argue the powertrain is smoother. With the Energi you guve up trunk space, so if this is your only car, it probably won't work for you. But as a second car or commuter car, it's pretty perfect. You only get about 14-20 miles per charge but that's still good enough for around town driving before the engine kicks in. With holiday incentives and the fed credit it came out the same price as the standard hybrid model, so I went with this for the extra gas savings. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

UPDATE: I have 21000 miles on the car over 21 months. I can get 45 MPG in Hybrid mode and 70 MPG combined when using half my miles in electric mood. Without AC or heat running I can get 28 miles on a charge in local driving. Heat uses more battery power than AC. I use hybrid on the highway and electric in local traffic to optimize efficiency. In winter I use hybrid in the morning when it is very cold/ heater blasting and electric in the afternoon. Or you can place it in automatic and the car will run like any other car. The car is quite, transmission is incredibly smooth and transition from electric to gas engine and back is seamless. Car in all electric mode is quick from 0-30 but very slow from 30-60. This is expected though. Hybrid power is as good as any non turbo 4 cylinder. Ride is very smooth but handling suffers a little due to added weight of electric/hybrid. No mechanical or other issues so far - has been running like a fine tuned clock. The electric AC seems to be very good at quickly cooling the car . If you travel less than 25 miles a day you can go all electric all the time (or 50 miles if you have a charger at work). Ford is dealing on these cars plus the $4100 federal tax rebate and it is one great commuter car. Great commuter car - gas mileage is incredible for a mid size sedan. I have had the car for over 2 months and have 1800 miles on it. I am getting very close to the EPA figures of 42 MPG in hybrid mode (that is both city driving and highway driving) and 22 miles per battery charge . If you use the heater on cold days you will only get 18 miles per charge. You can switch to three modes - automatic, Electric only - EV, or hybrid mode.. Plus Ford dealers are giving great rebates plus the $4200 federal tax credit I paid almost the same as a regular Fusion with the same options. Electric mode is amazing for driving around town. I can go the entire weekend without using the gas engine. Electric mode (EV) is quick from 0-30 but slow from 30-60. But this car was made for high gas mileage and a great ride. Change between electric and gas engine is seamless - it is truly amazing. Of course you only get half the trunk space but I already knew that. Handling around turns is not as good as the 4cyl Fusion but it is still good. This is a heavy car so the handling is not as responsive as the 4cyl Fusion but the ride is just as good. ( I rented a 4cyl Fusion for two weeks and did a lot of driving in it). Overall I think this car is a great value with the dealer rebates and Federal tax credit.

Amazing car

We are coming from a 2000 Lexus Rx300. The 2017 Ford Fusion Energi SE Luxury (who gives cars 5 different names?) is an awesome car, the nicest car I have ever ridden in. We gave up our Tesla Model 3 reservation to get this car, after renting a Ford Fusion SE Hybrid for 8 days. Gas mileage in hybrid mode is consistently 42-44 mpg without really any lack of power. The Sync3 system is extremely easy to use (think : MacIntosh computer or iPhone ease of use). It syncs with my android phone over bluetooth as I get into the car, without me having to do anything. The 3-level heated seats are great. Visibility is great (i'm 6'1"), the car is spacious, the leather is extremely nice. Headroom is extreme (I got a sunroof and still have good headroom.) Performance is a little sluggish 45-60 mph but then again, I was happy with my Honda Civic which did 0-60 in 11.5 seconds. The 11-speaker base stereo IS THE BEST CAR STEREO I HAVE EVER HEARD (it beats the deluxe nakamichi stereo in our Lexus, easily.) The range (600+ miles) is outstanding. This is definitely the most BEAUTIFUL car on the road today, right up there with a Tesla Model S. The instrument cluster is like a videogame; it grades you on energy recovery in braking & grows green leaves when you save more gas, I love to get a highscore of 100% in energy recovery! My 6' sons are happy in the back seat, HOWEVER, the trunk holds only 5 bags of groceries and maybe 1 or 2 gallons of milk if you pack creatively. I recommend using soft duffel bags on a long trip, to take maximum advantage of the 8 cu ft trunk space! I hope that Ford produces an update that will hide the batteries beneath the rear floor of the trunk, that would make the car optimal. I downrated the Nav system which could not voice-recognize our home street, "Cather Avenue". Android Auto and Apple Carplay work great, but many of the Carplay feature require a wired connection to the car (not a Ford problem; an Apple problem.)

Magic Carpet feel of driving a car

Excellent ride in all respects. The only possible drawback would be with the trunk if a full size trunk is needed because the battery takes up about 1/2 of the typical trunk space. You do get a large glove compartment, storage in the center console and doors and use of the entire rear seat if not occupies. However for families that often require the use of an entire trunk with rear seat occupies, this would need to be a considerstion in the purchase of electric vehicles such the Fusion energi. : )

HORRIBLE Car- more days in service than driven

So I have had this car for about 2 years now. I must have a serious Lemon considering all the great reviews. My Fusion has had one electrical failure after another. Over two years the car has sat in service more days than I have been able to drive it. IF the car worked, it could be great. It is very comfortable and has an excellent ride. However there is NO TRUNK for those who actually would use such a thing. The battery pack takes up the full space, so you can fit about a rolled Yoga mat and a few bags of groceries in the trunk, then everything else will be in the back seat space. I really want to love this car, but considering all the major mechanical failures, I can only say I am very lucky I leased and did not buy.
