First Ford in 24 Years

We were Accord drivers for a long time but I wanted to buy American for our new car. We liked the Fusion's styling, quiet ride, and features. After driving for 3 months we absolutely love it. Not only is it quick, but the ride is so quiet it enhances the fun of driving. The car handles great and I actually like the My Ford touch system - I can easily navigate from one screen to the next no problem. Regarding fuel economy, we drive up and down a mountain everyday so I've lost track. We bought it because it has a sleek new look and really affordable. From now on, I'm a happy Fusion driver.

I picked up the Blue fusion with the tech package that included backup sensors and camera and the sync system. I really like the sync system. I am a technical guy so it did not intimidate me. Actually I found it very intuitive once you understand the lay out. The only issue I have is the backup sensors are flaky. They only work around 20% of the time. I will be bringing it back the the dealer to be fixed. Otherwise I really like the car. It handles great. The 2.0L engine was really nice but was out of my price range. The gas mileage is around the same as my little 2004 Pontiac Vibe. The car is very quiet on the highway. So far so good.

ALWAYS SOMTHING WRONG

2013 Ford Fusion S 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

I bought a Ford Fusion and since I have had it is has been in the shop for several recalls. My transmission had problems at 40,000 into owning the car and of course as soon as my warranty goes out the transmission goes out again and now they want $5,500 for a car that I literally just gave them $2,000 two months ago. I am so disappointed and upset. That 2013 Ford Fusion needs to be recall. I had a Tarus and and Expedition but this Fusion has been nothing but problem! I AM PISSED!

I will tell you this car drives great and it’s very comfortable and peppy for it to be a 4cylinder. The only thing I will say is the fuel tank is small but it is a little gas sucker unless you driving long distance of 3 hours or more . Also the resale value isnt much but this car will not give you problems at all . If you going buy the Fusion get either the 2.5 or 2.0 four cylinders their the most reliable ones.

Extremely happy with my 2013 Ford Fusion Titanium that I purchased as a Certified Pre-Owned car with about 26,000 miles on it. I bought it to replace a 2007 Ford Five Hundred that got rear-ended and was totaled. The Five Hundred was roomier with a huge trunk and was a pleasure to drive on long trips. But the Fusion is very comfortable, still has plenty of space, and has much better acceleration and handling than the Five Hundred. I find that I am more engaged driving the Fusion than I was with the Five Hundred especially on longer trips. While I love my Fusion I do have some minor annoyances to point out. First, under hard acceleration from a stop, the front end jumps and loses tracking and pulls hard to the right...it gets a little squirrely. Second, the "engineered" lug nuts are a disaster and whoever thought that was a good idea has obviously never changed a tire. After I had new tires put on and rotated a few times the lug nuts, which are not solid metal start to break down and eventually you cannot get the off them car with just a lug wrench...it takes an air gun, wrenches, and a chisel. I highly recommend replacing the OEM lug nuts with an after market solid metal lug nut from someone like DP Accessories LCB3B6HC-CH04020 as soon as possible. Third, the trunk lid supports seem to wear out faster than I think they should and don't hold the trunk lid open with a breeze or on a slight inclined hill (like my driveway). I replaced a worn out set shortly after I bought the car at around 30,000 miles and now, at 67,000 miles they are worn out and need to be replaced again. Other than these things and a few other minor nits (mostly technology related) I really do love this car. I will also only ever buy another car through a CPO program...it's like getting a new car with the initial depreciation accounted for. 5/13/2018 Update: Still love my Fusion and still have it. I have the optional 18" wheels on my car and the recommended tire pressure is 37 psi. But I found that tire pressure makes the car ride rougher and you feel every little road imperfection. I reduced the tire pressure in all four tires to 35 psi and the ride is much more comfortable. I also have not noticed any reduction in gas mileage with this lower tire pressure. So long as it doesn't cause you Low Tire Pressure warning light (TPMS) to come on, I highly recommend doing this.
