Ford Fusion Platinum
We loved our 2015 Titanium until a drunk totaled it. It protected my wife well. So it wasn’t much of a question of what to replace it with, 2017 Ford Fusion Platinum.

Incredible car for the price.
I bought a 2016 Fusion S hybrid and I don't believe I've ever been more satisfied with a new car purchase. I was able to get the car for around $18K, as the 2017 models were coming in and they had 7 identically order versions of a black S base model cars on the lot . I saw that it came standard with all the basics, power windows, door locks, cruise, tiltwheel decent stereo dual-zone climate control which works great, and nice alloy wheels, making it so the car does not look like a base model. So far I am averaging close to 50 miles per gallon, which I find almost unbelievable for such a relatively large vehicle. I am sure that Ford had to take at a loss on that vehicle as there's no way all that technology, the hybrid electric motor system along with battery pack and nice standard level of equipment could be built for less than $18k. The manufacturer is currently offering a $3,500 rebate which is one way I was able to get such a good deal on the car. The car has an excellent ride, with very flat handling, much better than the softer sprung Toyota or Honda. The information screens available on the dash are fun to play with and you can really maximize your fuel mileage by paying attention to those and learning how to drive the car efficiently, using the electric motor as much as possible and coasting and using the regenerative braking to recharge the batteries. The fact you don't have to plug it in and can get 50 miles per gallon is fantastic. I strongly recommend this car, especially if you can get a deal and have a brand new car thats stylish, with a full warranty and gets 50 miles per gallon for used car money. Right now they are offering a larger rebate on the hybrid Energi model, which has a larger battery pack and can be plugged in. Ford needs to sell these high MPG vehicles to help their overall CAFE average MPG figures and I'm sure they are not making much profit on these after the rebates, which is great news for us consumers. The Fusion Hybrid S is an excellent value at the suggested price of $26 k, at $18k it's the deal of the century.

Awesome car. Nothing's perfect.
The mileage is outstanding. If you drive carefully you can get up to 58 MPG on the highway. I'm a big guy so getting in is a little rough but once inside the car is outstanding. The electric motor assists up to 85 MPH so even with such a small engine, power is no problem. The Sync system is not as intuitive as some but after a couple of days playing around it's fine. We typically get around 45 MPG city and around 43 freeway but if you pay attention you can get far better highway.

Great car... did i get a lemon?
Car is living up to the articles, reviews, hybrid abilities. Ride is nice, the switching between motor and engine is smooth. Regenerative brakes, engine cutoff at stop lights, and other energy saving features work fine. Where our experience goes awry has been with the actual problems with the computer and also minor quality issues. First, about a month after owning it, the car would not start. All emergency lights, engine light, red Start Button light had come on and the car needed to be towed. The Service department at the dealer "updated the software" and was fixed for a few months. The car then had a instance where multiple emergency lights flashed again while my wife was driving this time, and the car told her to pull over and then shutdown. She was able to start it and we have our yearly checkup coming on friday so this event will be brought up. Second, the car has the safety windows that roll up automatically. The "Safety" part is if something (someone) is blocking the window from rolling all the way up, it automatically roles back down. The passenger one does the safety part, when nothing is blocking it. We've tried to reset it ourselves, hasn't helped. The Service department has also, and worked for a day or two. Summary would be, good car, glad we leased it, because the cutting edge is always dangerous.

I drive 35 miles each way to work. Using the ECO I average about 41. Comfort is good. I'm 6'1" 300lbs and have no complaints. I have the titanium version and everything works well, to include the cooling seats. Love them. We looked at the Optima and the Camry but went with the Fusion and have NO regrets. I'm not a Ford guy, I'm a best car for the money guy and this was the best car I've purchased in years. I've bought 11 cars in 9 years and would recommend this car to anyone. Pick-up isn't as quick as one would want, welcome to a hybrid. Still good enough to get out of the way.
