Bought the 2012 Ford Fusion SEL FWD 3.0L V6 certified pre-owned, have been driving it a little over a month now. Previous vehicle was a '98 Dakota pickup, so yes lol, quite a difference. I love the driving experience.....handles great, nice acceleration when the higher revs achieved, especially using the manual automatic mode. Comfortable, quiet, pleasant leather interior, enjoyable sound system. I look forward to driving it each day. A few complaints, for no vehicle is perfect. The transmission can shift awkwardly at times, especially in mid-RPMs. Rear visibility takes getting used to, and windshield rear-view mirror gets in the way when looking right. Glad i got the car......
Every time I look at it, I get angry and nauseous

Nissan in Yuba City, Ca; while they have been trying to help us a lot, the vehicle had 34,000 miles on it. It has been in the shop twice. All of the pullies had to be replaced. The tire pressure sensor and fuel sensor have not been reset. Apparently that's a special tool and the dealerships has been broken. So every time you start the car it sounds like a four alarm fire is happening. A week after we got it out of the shop, my husband was attempting to pass an RV and the tranny just shut off. He had to coast to the side of the road and the entire car was violently shaking and the wrench light went on. We had to struggle to get a rental car from the dealership while the car is going to be held for two weeks to be fixed. Its been there for about a week and we haven't heard anything back from them. I got a chip in the windshield from a rock hauling truck 2 days after we got the vehicle (no ones fault, these thing happen). When the pullies were being replaced they had a windshield guy try to fix it and he ended up doing further damage. We picked up the car with a spider crack heading towards the hood. When the transmission had its problem and the car was rattling the whole chip spidered out vertically from top to bottom. I thought chip repair was suppose to prevent this. I'm not an expert. After everything we as a family have a pretty sour taste about the vehicle. I really wish we didn't get it all in all. We had rented a couple ford fusions (with much higher mileage) in the past and love them. This one seems like the anti-christ of fusions. I feel like we flushed $15,000 down the toilet at some rutty truck stop. We did it to build credit in hopes for having a better opportunity at getting a home loan, no I just hope it will make due until we can pay it off somehow. WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR A MONTH, ITS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR HALF OF THAT TIME!!!!!!!! UPDATE 2 YEARS LATER: it's still a pain in the ass P.O.S. cheapo car. The cigarette lighter/phone charger crap plastic bracket crumbled and now the power port just hangs loosely like an eyeball dangling out the socket. Stupid check engine light keeps coming on for a gas cap, IT'S [non-permissible content removed] CAPLESS! There's no threads for a cap and the door that covers the gas fill up is a janky Barbie car door that won't shut all the way and pops out over any minor bump. No way to lock it, shut it. Just got to hope and pray. The only thing nice is the stereo, of which i'm sure is after market. I will find my way out of this ford and when i do i will NEVER DRIVE ANOTHER FORD EVER AGAIN! THEY'RE CHEAP, FULL OF DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAGS, AND NOT WORTH THE SPIT IT TAKES TO SHINE EM!

I have the 3.0L V6 SEL. The car has ~125,000 miles and is still kicking. Normal maintenance cycle nothing extraordinary but it still drives great and has taught all 3 kids how to drive. Interior still in great shape, "leather" has zero cracks, dashboard zero cracks and still looks new. Only the centerstack looks dated because it has no large display screen. I wish Ford had kept making midsize cars, this has been a great vehicle.

Purchased in Oct. 2021 with 275,000 on the clock. Am the 2nd owner. It’s the S model with the 6-speed manual. A true blast to drive! The Mazda mill runs great and gas mileage is impressive. Plan to keep it for as long as it lasts….
nice looking ride
