Big Car with a High MPG!

I consistently get 38 to 40 MPG with my daily commute of 23 miles one way, 25% local roads and 75% freeway. You are getting a hybrid, so expect not so good torque, but for a daily driver, it does the job. It's a big sedan, so fitting 5 full size adults is no issue. One thing to note is the trunk space, coz the hybrid battery is stored there, you will get probably 30% less space compared to a full size sedan. I love this car, it fits my needs. If you don't have a heavy foot, does not overtake and normally do 60 to 70 mph on freeways, this is perfect for you!

I just purchased this vehicle 1 week ago 8/17/15 and I love it! Pros: GREAT Gas Mileage if you are a reasonable attentive driver. Comfortable ride quiet ride. Stylish interior design. Cons: Smaller trunk space compared to a vehicle of similar size due to the EV battery. Less leg room compared to a vehicle of similar size. When I drive I use the ECO button to maximize my fuel efficiency. I drive between 60 - 80 MPH and I monitor my driving style when I can. The fuel tank is 13.5 - 14 Gallons and I was able to 432 miles using 10.62 Gallons of gas. My current tank of gas, I am getting 44 - 45 MPG. I will post a follow-up after my next fill up.

I bought brand new In February 2016 and it was a dream to have so beautiful but had throttle body issue at 25,000 miles it would turn off engine completely and would cruise on electric battery until I parked safely and turned back on after a minute . It now has 56,000 miles I have not had that issue since it’s been replaced with warranty and nothing else has come up and I’m loving it as my daily drive for the past 5 years Update 10-13-21 61,000 miles and still runs like a clock no issues I didn’t know that with these hybrids they don’t wear out the breaks so that’s great! Update 4-13-22 65,000 miles and it’s still running like new! Just got her an oil change last week and that’s it have done no other maintenance. Oh of course air and cabin filter but that’s it. I’ve heard you don’t have to do a transmission flush on these just drain and fill so I’ll probably do that in the next 10,000 miles or so Update 4-13-23 at 80,000 miles now no issues just synthetic oil changes and I’m not going to change transmission fluid heard you don’t have to until 150,000 miles and others on fusion hybrid Facebook Group said they never change it and it runs fine so until I start feeling problems then I’ll do it but great vehicle runs like new still! Update 4-13-25 94,000 mile a couple 1,000 miles ago the cpu went out but I think it was my fault while getting off a double I helped a neighbor with a jump and I mixed the positive and negative and caused the battery to go out on my vehicle so bought new one and shortly after the cpu went out so replaced and now works like new

Why does Ford want to kill the Fusion??????

I'd much rather drive the Fusion than a Taurus and EVERY one doesnt want an SUV or a Focus. It has PLENTY of room, luxury level equipment, is casket quiet and such an upgrade over my 2012 Fusion SEL. It wasnt a hybrid, but was a great car from 22k to 145 miles in less than four years. I bought this Hybrid at 47k miles from Carmax. Its a former rental, but SURELY was kept well. I do wish the MPG rating was higher, but I do half highway and half city driving and the car is FUN to drive. I've done 44-46. Long trips will probably do more gas engine, but I've done purely electric at 75 mph. I love the safety and security features- like the remote start PLUS the auto locking if I have the key fob on me. Sync3 is great, but I wish it had the Waze built in, not through Android Car play. I plan on buying the 2019 Titanium CPO. I'm thinking only the dealer should do maintenance though, as some components are sensitive. Update 3/28/2020!!! Ive had the car for over a year. I've put almost 50k miles on the car. ZERO regrets. Yes, leaving the outlet plugged up melted the hole a little bit. Uhm...I have yet to change brakes... I guess I will in the next six months. I bought better tires than the run-flats Carmax put on them. I will go back to run-flats. I cant find a real fault. EVERYTHING works as decidedly it needs to. I guess the only thing i dislike is the long drive. Fuel economy in ANY hybrid will go down dramatically. Its pure science. Why? 75 mph for 10-`12 hours straight leaves no room for real charging and use of the battery. I still averaged 35-38 rolling over the hills and mountains of TN and KY. My BMW 530 only did about 30 on the same drive and the 2012 Fusion I had did 33. Im looking to upgrade this year.

This is my first hybrid and I love it. I drive 90 miles roundtrip to work and back and this car is great. Bought mine for $12,000 and feel I got a very good deal for only having 40,000 miles.
