I only had the car a year unfortunately but I absolutely loved it never gave me a problem not a peep starting at 50k miles and only putting 10k more on it. Heart breaking to see it go and even harder to find something to compare. ( I averaged 22 mpg and I drove mostly city took a good highway trip and it averaged 27mpg )

This is a good midsize car. It rides smooth, the heater/a/c and stereo speakers are awesome. Gas mileage is good and its a good looking car. No issues with paint, seats are comfortable. Only issues is at approx 60k the a/c electronic trap door wouldnt close so when a/c is set all the way counterclockwise cold it didnt work. No problem just turn the temp knob a few clicks clockwise and presto a/c works great! I read its a commom problem with plastic gear teeth breaking. I just had the recall of power steering completed so hopefully it wont fail as this is another issue. When first purchased transmission shifted rough and would stutter alot. Come to find out transmission fluid was low from the factory. I put some fluid in and presto..fixed! Overall my car has been very reliable and has never left me stranded or broke down. Say what you want about Ford but every one I've had has been reliable, even my 1986 ranger!

I went searching for a car in April 2019 and I found my blue 2012 Ford Fusion SE 2.5L at the car lot.There are a number of features my car has that I feel really makes it more complete and a lot more enjoyable to drive than most of the other cars I've ever driven. Features mine has are: 18" factory aluminum wheels, telescoping tilt steering, 6-speed select shift, rear spoiler, sunroof/moonroof, folding rear seats, fuel efficiency, smooth suspension, great stability and handling, braking, self-contained power steering, auto-darkening rear view mirror, reliability, easily maintained, and Microsoft SYNC. This car has proven itself to be a very reliable car and a very enjoyable car. Personally, I think a lot of cars should have the features mine has. I bought mine in April of last year with just over 125,000 MI and it now says with just a little under $146,700 MI. The brake system and the steering in mind have always been and still remain extremely responsive. If you're not used to a vehicle that has extremely responsive steering and brakes, it will take some getting used to. If I have to list anything that I don't like about it, it would be that it comes with only a space saver spare tire and that when using that tire, it has a tendency to trigger the anti-lock braking system without being on the brakes. That is my only complaint about the car. With that warning about the spare tire and the antilock, I still fully recommend purchasing one of these cars. I love mine and would happily make the same choice over again. I really like the fact that mine also has the rear spoiler on it as I feel that that actually helps to complete the car.

I just purchased a 2012 Ford Fusion that sat in an impound yard for 4+ years. A rat ate through some wires causing a cylinder 3 misfire, but she ran anyway when the staff cut a new key and jump-started it! I drove it this way to a repair shop 60 miles away and had it fixed. She runs like a top again with ZERO other problems. Nice ride.

I bought this car new over six years ago and my overall experience has been fantastic. I hope to keep the car for at least another six years. Car cost $25K new and has good interior quality for that price point. The ride is comfortable and the handling is responsive. Maintenance has been minimal and the only repair so far has been due to mice chewing some wires (can't blame Ford for that). The mileage is approaching 100K and I think the rear struts are going bad because there is a rattling and an unusually stiff ride but I haven't yet had it checked out. My only real gripe with the car is that the "Sync" entertainment system that is supposed to interact with your phone doesn't work with my iPhone (or any of my Apple devices) for anything other than Bluetooth when the system was designed by Microsoft to do much more. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and could only hope that all of my car purchases work out as well as the Fusion has so far.
