I chose the 2018 Fusion because of my experience with my 2011Fusion. The ride is very quiet and the performance is responsive. The interior is very comfortable and the instrument panel clear and easy to access. I give the 2018 Fusion five stars.

The car is beautiful, handles really well, and the tech inside is smart and intuitive. Things you'll notice as negatives immediately: 1) brakes are grabby...surprised no one mentions how potentially dangerous this is. Regenerative brakes to recharge the battery grab pretty hard when depressed beyond lightest touch. This has caused me stop short a few times and my passengers to startle at how sudden the stop has been. Takes some getting used to. 2) fuel economy as reported is as reported, but the smallish gas tank has you filling up at about the same rate as with other cars, albeit you're spending less at each fill up (less space for gas). Not sure the hybrid gas mileage benefit is really a big positive here, and that's why I went hybrid . Some regular cars can get about 38 mpg highway, this car gets 44 mpg highway...is this enough to make you want to go hybrid? Which brings me to 3) acceleration is soft...merging into traffic or accelerating to pass aren’s crisp as the engine can labor to gain speed. This is a big deal to me and I should've test driven it more thoroughly. That's on me. Overall, a good car, with great tech and sharp looks. I went Ford because I've always wanted a Ford, and went hybrid to save $ on my daily super-commute (120 miles/day).

Bought this 2018 Fusion Hybrid used in Sept. 2021 with 130,000 miles on it (I have 135,000 on it now). I usually wouldn't buy a car with that many miles, but knew most of those were highway miles because of the short time since new (it was a company car). I am averaging 44.6 MPG to date and that is with light highway driving on half my commute. I couldn't be happier with the car. Mine is pretty loaded up with adaptive cruise, apple car play/ android auto, lane departure, etc. Bluetooth phone sound is GREAT! I'm looking for another one for my girlfriend. Update: Still love the car, no problems w/141,000 miles on it now. 43 mpg during mild Las Vegas winter. Update: 7/24: Finally had to change 12v battery. Otherwise 0 problems! 152,000+ miles.

Do your homework! Research and test drive. I was a CUV fan and was very hesitant to go back to a sedan but this fusion has all the neat gadgets. The heated steering wheel and knowing I am doing my very minimal part of decreasing my carbon footprint sold me on this Ford Fusion Hybrid.
