Used 2012 Ford Fusion Sedan Consumer Reviews
Very reliable car
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
Was Inlove
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 )

Great car! Five stars is not enough!
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.

Found On Road...Daily
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.
