Just a nice car to drive and ride in
After 3 years and 33,000 miles, I still enjoy driving this 4 cylinder SEL. This is a very comfortable, quiet car that still looks & drives great with no problems. Before buying, I tried many other cars as rentals (frequent travel). The Fusion was the one I liked the best and the 6 cylinder version was a lot of fun to drive. For my own car, I wanted better mileage. The only added options were the moon roof and Sony audio. The sound quality is excellent. I don't use the SYNC features. Steering is just OK, definitely not sporty but handling and ride quality are good. For style, this is not a car you look and say WOW! Interior & exterior design are simple with good quality materials.
Ford Fusion
This car is a sleek mid size sedan which provides a smooth ride on all types of road. It maneuvers well especially when it zips into a parking space. While the car is roomy for five passengers, there is a large trunk that can haul more than two popular SUV s I previously owned.There are many amenities including Bluetooth and the back-up warning system. More importantly, it has a high(4.4/5 stars) safety rating.

Review update
After driving 2200 miles to and from Oklahoma, I can safely say the car is great. Traveling at 75, I averaged 29.6 mpg, using gas with 10% corn squeezing. Was 32 with real gas. Slowing down to 65-70, I got up to 33.5 mpg. That is based on the computer readout, not calculated by me. On the way home, we drove 1100 miles with only a couple of stops at rest areas for catnaps. The seats were always comfortable. I like the power seat back in the 2011 model. At 75 am turning about 3100 RPM, about the same as a Harley-Davidson. The car needs a taller 6th gear. But overall, I could not be happier with the Fusion. All the trunk space is usable. Luggage for 3 for a week was no problem.
Mixed feelings
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).
