Used 2012 Ford Fusion Sedan Consumer Reviews
2012 SEL FWD V6
The 2012 Fusion is an excellent family sedan and deserves serious consideration. It is roomy & comfortable to drive. We found the 4-cylinder engine to be a bit gutless on freeway entry ramps which is why we decided on buying one with the 3.0L V6. It accelerates far better than the 2.5L I-4. This is important for us since it will occasionally carry 5-people in it. The soft touch interior pieces are nice. The cabin is well insulated from road noise. The sun roof is great but it may be compromising for taller folk. SYNC is awesome as is the Sony 12-speaker sound system. The blindspot mirrors are a very useful and there's plenty of rear seat room for our 3-kids.
Repairs Already
My Fusion was purchased new a year ago and I took it in for an oil change and tire rotation. I was told by the service department I need four new tires and an alignment at $1000 even though the car is only at 22,000 miles. I was told it was my fault I have to replace the tires because I drive "too hard". When I told the dealer this was my third Ford vehicle (all purchased new) and I never had to replace the tires this early I was told again it was my fault and not faulty tires. I will never buy a Ford again. They don't stand by their products and blame customers even though this is the fourth vehicle I have purchased new and didn't have this problem with the other three.
This car saved my life
This car saved my life. I span out of control on a very busy intersection (due to my own careless driving) and this car truthfully saved my life. The safety features are superb. I would never have looked twice at a Ford before I brought this fusion, however, now I am a ford man. Definitely recommend.
Ok people mover
2012 Fusion 4 cyl,ok for general commuting,but 4 cyl a dog when merging on to freeways etc,transmission shifts hatd from 2nd to 3rd,otherwise a decent car,nice ride nice looks,would highly recommend driving and comparing the V6 before purchasing,also compare to sonata etc.
Classy and safe
Love all the safety features, kind of bummed about all the computerized systems but its a lovely vehicle. All in all, I feel it was a great buy. For a 2.5l engine its a really nice ride and handle.
