Great to drive and comfortable, with some small issues
I own a 2013 red Ford Fusion SE Automatic with the 1.6 Ecoboost engine. The car does a lot well, and drives way better than our 2012 Fusion. The engine averages well over 30 mpg on the highway, yet feels way gutsier than a 1.6 when accelerating, and it also sounds nice. The transmission works well, albeit the sport feature doesn't do much. It's nice that it comes standard with Sync, but the system doesn't always work as expected. So far, our only problem with ownership has been a fuel gauge that depletes way quicker than it should (will say it used 1/4 a tank after 10 miles). It's been to the dealer twice, and they can't figure out why it does this.
Fusion 1.6 not 2.5
Bought Fusion just before February trip from Michigan to Florida and back. Mileage was 30.08 and the computer said 30.1 over 3400 miles. Trunk was loaded with luggage and after break-in cruised at 75-78. 250 miles of stop and go included in senior land. So far very happy. The 1.6 was built post recall and is adequate. Specifically did not get Ford Touch so no problems there. Traded in a Lucerne with 100k -times are a changing-so far culture shock is ok.

Follow-up on gas milage after 1,000 miles
14.5mpg back and forth to work 1 1/2 miles each way. Down a hill there, up a hill back. Also, cold here, let car warm up until tach drops below 1,000 rpms before engaging transmission. 30's on back roads, and highway. Not unhappy with car, just surprised. Very satisfying car to drive. Beautiful to look at. Solid. Enjoyable. Engine winds out with a performance-oriented sound. Auto trans well suited to 2.5l engine. Winds out right to redline.
2013 Fusion SE 1.6 six speed manual tranny
Had the car 3.5 years. Purchased new. Flawless. Over 37 mph highway, 29 in town. 6 speed manual tranny is fantastic. I am sad they discontinued the manual tranny in 2014. I would have certainly bought another manual Fusion. This is the best car I have ever had. Peppy enough, fun to drive, big enough, great mpg, hi tech, turns heads. Someday I will give this car to one of my sons and get another Fusion, automatic and perhaps a Hybrid. The Fusion is just such a great value. Continue to love driving this car at 49k. I wish Fusion would come out again with the manual tyranny. It is so much fun to drive. 75k miles now. Continue to love this car. A recall got me a new clutch at 72k which I am pleased to have received. Ford has been great with regards to warranties and recalls. I am unlikely to part with this car anytime soon because I like the car and manual tranny. At 100k miles. No issues. Runs like new. So sad Ford is discontinuing this great car. Still love the wonderful gas mileage and the fantastic 6 speed manual transmission. Update:Fusion now at 113k now. Continues to perform flawlessly. Will not trade it or sell it. Perfect car for one of my sons. Fun to drive , great mileage, cheap to maintain. Ford should have kept the Fusion and manual transmission.

2.0 Eco Boost Engine
I have 101,000 miles on my 2013 Fusion and it is still running strong. It is amazing what sort of performance they can get out of a 4 cylinder engine. My last highway mileage was actually my best ever with 30 mpg. The only reason I would consider selling is that I 'm getting bored with driving the same car for going on 8 years now.
