I am a student and I got my 2012 Ford Fusion from a dealer in Michigan. It was already 120k miles driven in 4.5 years but the car was in good shape as it was regularly serviced. I had zero hopes on the car. To my surprise, it had zero repairs till 140k miles which was after a year of my purchase. Highly reliable and great resale value.

Dependable, very low maintenance. I bought this car when it was five years old, it's nearly ten now and I've spent almost nothing on maintenance other than normal wear and tear. I'm now thinking of keeping it another five years or so.

I was hesitant to purchase an American car, but I have been pleasantly surprised at how reliable this car has been. 68000 miles and no major problems, I keep up with regular maintenance. The car took a beating when an intoxicated driver did a hit and run on it, $7000 in damages to the front but fortunately it was repaired. Two complaints: first, the transmission at lower speeds when the car first starts is very "jumpy" after a mile or two of driving, this goes away and the transmission is then very smooth. Second, the headlights are terrible! They don't illuminate much more than 10 feet in front of the car. Other than these two caveats, I highly recommend this car.

2012 SE V6. Much better than my '06 Fusion, in some areas.

My first Ford Fusion was a 2006 SEL V6, which I got in the summer of '09 with 60k miles. Let me say, it had an amazing ride, sound system, nice leather and decent fuel economy. I did not have one problem with it at all until 108k miles when it died in the middle of rush hour. Engine coils went out, causing many other things to go wrong. Short story, traded out. Got 5 grand for it (amazing because of the body work it needed from an accident i didn't fix and 2600 worth of engine repairs). Traded for a 2012 SE V6 with the Sun & Sync package and Monochrome appearance package. Amazing drive feel and ride. Very satisfied so far. I do miss my 06 though, it had leather and a much better audio system
terrible shifter

Bought this car new, and now with 61,000 miles on it, the transmission is still the worse part of this car. I have not had any issues with the car other than the lousy shifting, sometimes feels like it is slipping transmission. When I first bought this car, the dealer service department told me that they get complaints all the time about the transmission. I recently test drove a 2013 Ford Escape, and it too had this lousy transmission so I didn't buy it. I have owned a lot of Ford's but this will be my last unless they get rid of this tranny.
