Bought the vehicle used at the end of 2019 with 109,000 miles from one owner, purchased an extended 3 year warranty from Ford - it paid for itself when the transmission needed rebuilt, worth noting when the transmission started to fail I was able to drive it home, it just had to be accelerated slowly to get it up to speed - it didnt leave me stranded on the road side at least. Now at 130,000 wondering when I should let it go, looking it over I noticed the lower cross member has a thumb sized hole rusted through - I only drive this car 40 miles round trip to work in Cleveland, Ohio - wish I was in Arizona like the other review I read on these, I think any car would last beyond 300,000 miles in that weather with good maintenance. My dealer maintained 2011 Fusion from the original owner to myself seems to be good mechanically overall, but in areas with seasonal liquid de-icer / rock salt I think the steel quality is poor based on comparison to the 20 year old Trailbeast I own that sits outside the garage and has no rust on the body panels (unlike my Fusion).

This is a great car, very sporty and comfortable, but the transmission is not right. 1st and 2nd are geared really low and close, and the it wants to shift at 4k rpm even if you're accelerating slowly. Sometimes going from 4th to 5th the tranny gets 'confused' and jumps back and forth, very annoying. I only have 1,000 miles on the car.

First, I own and drive the 2011 Ford Fusion SE with the automatic transmission. ( Not a listed option for this model under review section as it should be. ) I have been buying and driving all makes and models of cars since 1967. The most impressive thing about this car is it's thoroughness in it's excellence from the most major thing to the most minor thing. It does EVERYTHING well that a car driver would hope and expect a car to do. I have the completely loaded version and I challenge anyone to find a better fully loaded midsize family sedan for under 25,000 sold in America. If you do, please let me know as I will have to see it to believe it!
