My wife wanted a car with a sunroof. We found this car used with 3000 miles a few months ago. Heated leather seats, Sony sound system, sunroof and appearance package. What a great, comfortable car and fun to drive. We have the 3.0 V6 but it is not AWD and that option is not shown on the list. We love the car and the mileage. we typically get 22 around town, but have been up to 30 to 31 on the highway. not bad for a V6
Great Car but needed a new engine at 1100 miles

I purchased a brand new 2012 Ford Fusion V6 3.0L, on January 7th 2012. In the first 30 days, My engine starts ticking once it warms up, the radiator fan squeels when you turn off the engine and the back passenger window would take a long time to roll back up. I took it into the local Ford dealership and they told me I needed a new radiator fan, a new motor for the power window and that the factory installed the wrong lifters in my engine and they would need to replace them. (They called Ford Technical Advisors) I was a little concerned with the assessment but told them to go ahead and fix the issues. The next day they called and said I also needed a new engine.
Good design, bad performance.

Buyers beware. Around 75k miles, the car started shifting hard going into the 3rd and 4th gears. I have verified that other owners are experiencing this problem as well. The performance is nothing special for the V6 model, and it only averages about 26 mpg highway. I have also had to deal with 3 safety recalls within the first 5 years of purchase. The car is good when it comes to the interior and comfort. The ride is smooth, steering wheel controls are convenient, and plenty of trunk space.

My priority with this latest vehicle purchase was comfort. I've always driven fairly sporty cars (Ford Probe GT, SVT Focus, Lexus IS300), and this time around I wanted a quiet vehicle that wasn't a complete slug. I'd rented a Fusion in FL last year and was favorably impressed. So when a typical idiot MI driver rear-ended and totaled the Lexus a few weeks ago, I looked into a used 2012 Fusion and got everything except Nav & AWD, neither of which I need. It's comfortable, quiet and the V6 has plenty of power. I was even surprised by the fuel economy: 26+ city, 33+ why. Now if I want to go tear about the countryside, I jump in the Miata.
Very surprised

I went to the car lot to look at a Mustang, as it was gone. The sales person showed me a 2008 an a 2012 fusion, I went home slept on it decided to get the 2012 sle an I'm so glad I did, I have never in my life had a family car as I am a single father with two beautiful daughters. So I'm glad I did the fuel milage is awesome oh highway pretty good city, but the performance is awesome for a V6 family car, the car rides great plenty of room front an back an in the trunk. It drives great Handel's great no road noise. Oh I forgot to mention I bought this car used with over 113000. Still the care is great but one thing, in the morning when I start the car, the starter makes a noise after it starts but afterm it warms up it doesn't do it. Other than that I'd give the car 10 stars. What helps my daughters love the car, an when I need the power it's there, 3.0 v6 fwd.
