Updating this review after 4 years of ownership. Still love this car. Interior is very well done. It’s remarkably quiet. Very comfortable seats - I got this after driving compact sedans for years and my back and shoulders feel much better in this. The transition between battery and ICE is very smooth. Battery provides the initial boost from a stop and the Atkinson cycle ICE eases in quietly (unless you floor it). Battery will only do 16 miles daily with moderate use of climate controls; using heavy AC or heat cuts that down to 14 or so miles. I have a 32 mile round trip to work, mostly highway driving, do not charge at work, and I typically go 700-900 miles between gas fill-ups in summer and 450-600 miles in winter. Long term fuel economy (which seems to count gas burned but doesn’t account for electricity) is calculated by the car at 66MPG which seems pretty accurate. Used exclusively in hybrid mode, I still get 40-42MPG. Cons: Traction on ice in Ohio winters is only adequate - perhaps tires other than the OEM low rolling resistance ones would be better. Acceleration is only OK - it’s good if the battery is charged, but it’s slower and you can tell the engine is really working harder for lower total output when the battery is depleted. Trunk is small but you can shove probably 8 bags of groceries in there. Overall, it’s a very comfortable car, great for commuting, with sharp looks. If you have to load a car up occasionally with gear, look elsewhere unless you can use the (generous) backseat space to fit things.

If you live in town close to everything this car is for you. I purchased it with 26000 miles on it. Mine is a titanium model which is loaded. It amassed me how many bells and whistles it has even self dimming head lights. It has safely package with adaptive speed control and lane assist warning. I use my electric only mode in city and fully charge at home. So far I used zero gas 155 miles on electric only and on hybrid almost 44 mpg. If I keep driving in city no gas. It's ideal for grocery shopping short trips. It's super quite have to remember to shut engine off! My wife is very negative about anything she don't like about a car and after she drove this one said that was a smart move buying this car used for 16,999 same as regular Fusions. It had 26000 miles on it and in perfect shape. My wife likes the noise cancellation makes the engine noise go away. The only negative thing is small trunk but we can use the back seat for big luggage etc. We also have a 2011 Chrysler Town and country limited for back up vehicle. A lot of people talk about Bolt all electric but how can you travel very far with out plug in station. I worry about running out of charge. I know all electric car is cheaper to make no gas motor but still about same price as a ford fusion energi more kick back on Fusion from Federal and State plus Ford knock off 2000.00. The next choice for me would be all electric Tesla model three at 40,000 list plus incentives. Nice car plush and a head turner.

I really like this car. I have had it for 6 months. Pro's = If you drive short distances it gets great gas mileage. My best was 115 MPG. The ride is nice (I came from a Lexus). Handles well. Love the auto brights. Con's; Dashboard is coming apart. Heated steering wheel is a pain to turn on. The automatic back up drive does not work at all! DO NOT TRY IT! Radio sound is just ok. First month it charged for 20 miles on a full charge. 6 month later, the maximum charge I can get is for 13 miles.

I waited to buy the 2017 to get the new technology. It is horrendous. I paid $700 for a navigation system that has missing exits on major interstate highways. Highway 5 that goes from Canada from Mexico. I contacted Ford and they refused to do ANYTHING! Waze and Android Auto which are FREE both outperform this lousy navigation. It can't recognize your voice, losses your downloads, contacts etc. can't find over 50%of the things asked of it. I can't get it uninstalled. Do not buy this no matter how cheap. I am constantly frustrated by it interfering with Android Auto.

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