Used 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid Consumer Reviews
An absolutely great car
I sold my Prius after over 100k miles, lost 10MPG but gained a FAR better ride and features. I've had the car for 4 weeks and 3,000 miles and I am very pleased. The sticker MPG is 41/36 and after 3,000 miles of mixed driving my MPG is 39.8 which is pretty darn good. Sync is great, I think the sound system is also great, the backup camera is very handy too. Whether the added price is worth it for the hybrid, each consumer will have to decide for him/herself. The $1,700 tax credit is valid until 9/30/09, it defrays some of the extra cost. Bottom line -- if you are considering a Camry/Prius and don't test drive this first, you need a "kick me" sign on your back.
great car
I have driven over 3000 miles with an average 41+ mpg. The dashboard display trains you to drive conservatively to increase MRP, but anytime more acceleration is needed, you can get it. The car isn't as fun as my Passat in terms of cornering and shifting, or my old Mercury Mystique (I miss the 5- speed!). However, the Fusion handles very nicely - - I often corner it sharply to avoid braking at low speeds, and it is very stable. The SYNC system makes up for driving more conservatively -- I've been listening to podcasts downloaded to a USB thumbdrive.

Best car on the road (period)
This car can stand up nicely to any other luxury car on the road. I never thought I'd be commenting on my cars user interface, but it is clear, engaging and easy to use. Very smooth driving and seamless transition from gas to electric. Even the Microsoft Sync system is great (and this is coming from a diehard Apple guy).
Better than my Acura TSX
I truly believed that no car would ever be able to beat out my 2004 TSX in terms of fun-to-drive quotient, luxury and quality. Well, I was about to trade in my 2004 TSX for a 2009 until I saw this new Ford. Finally a car from an American car company that I can be proud of, not just settle for. My friend who will "only own a Mercedes" drove with me last night and said he is going to buy one when his lease is up in a few months. This says a lot (if you knew my friend). The ride, stability, quiet interior, fit & finish, both inside and out are all major pluses. The turning radius is much smaller than my old TSX. I only have 250 miles on it and I'm averaging 40.5 mpg. Good job Ford.
If oil goes up this is the car
I just purchased the Ford Fusion Hybrid and everything I read at edmunds.com was correct. The fact that the air conditioner runs in EV mode, the display panel is informative and it drives like a luxury car and is very quite. I feel like I'm, among other owners,ahead of the curve with this car.
