Luv my 2013 Fusion

I have the 1.6L Ecoboost. MPG is 33-35 hwy, as advertised. Have zero complaints. Fun to drive, quiet, comfortable, and damn it looks good. Would recommend a new Fusion to anybody looking big bang for the buck in a midsized sedan. There was no choice on this review for the 1.6L Ecoboost engine so, I wrote the review here. I have owned my Fusion for 3 years now and love it just as much today as I did the day I bought it. It has been a problem free car. It was such a good car that I recently traded it for a 2017 Fusion Platinum!!

2013 fusion se with 1.6 ecoboost. Great gas mileage. 36 highway with a fully loaded car.transmission is shifty at times but mostly great. Very comfortable for long trips and commutes.we loved our fusion.test drove it with a friend 6ft 5 in the backseat.plenty of leg room. Update 100000 mile mark no issues other than a coolant bypass valve(dealer install around 200). Love it so much we bought another one.

RUST PROBLEMS

I bought the 2013 Fusion because of the new style and fuel economy... However I wish I knew about the rust issues. My car has less than 36k on it and has been garage kept as much as possible. I wash it regularly and was it no less than twice a year. But my hood is rusting at about a dozen locations (no chips in paint) and Northgate Ford in Cincinnati Ohio told me "it's a known problem with the fusion and multiple other Ford vehicles. However since it's over 3 years old and hasn't gotten holes in the metal (YET) that it's MY PROBLEM. Nor did they want to even look at it. I feel like Ford is using the same metal they used in the 1970-1980's that would rust to the ground in less than 10 years, salt or not. Funny how Chevy or all of the Asian vehicles don't have this PROBLEMS! 2021 update: almost 60k and haven’t had any major mechanical issues yet. However I STRONGLY RECOMMEND changing the transmission fluid every 30k miles as mine was BLACK when changed just before 50k. Rear brakes wore out before the front brakes which was new to me, the front alway seem to wear out faster. The aluminum body part cancer hasn’t gotten any worse, but still bothers me. Gas mileage isn’t what it should be, I average 23+\- mixed driving, while a 2014 Focus gets 30 mpg mixed driving as well. The SYNC system and other electronic issues are a intermittent problem, I’ve had to take it into a dealership to reset after resetting the system myself. The car is about 8 years old with low mileage, but I can tell that the struts will need to be replaced based on road feel. The engine cooling system struggles to keep the system cool on very hot humid days when highway driving. I intend to keep it for at least another 5+ years as it’s been comfortable and pretty problem free (so far😬)

Pieces falling off

I was considering buying a 2013 Ford Fusion, so I went to the dealership to test drive it. I brought two friends with me, who sat in the backseat during the test drive. When we got out of the car, they told me the roof material in the back was coming off. To make it worse, we looked at another model (which was more expensive because it had the My Ford Touch options inside the car) and a piece of the exterior door panel was falling off. We mentioned it to the sales person and he went outside to check it. He hit it back into place and simply said, "We can just put some glue on it." SERIOUSLY?! Both cars are NEW cars and they already have pieces coming off? Imagine how it will be years from now

2013 Ford Fusion SE 2.0 with luxury package

Purchased my fusion after having a horrific 8 month long ownership with a 2013 Ford Escape 1.6. The fusion rides excellently even though it sports the optional 18 inch back rims. The car absorbs road vibrations and bumps well instead of the car jittering over road imperfection and crash over bumps like the escape. Although I no longer have myford touch I am more than satisfied with myford. I have put 1,900 miles in just over a month of ownership, which included a 1,000 road trip in which I average 31. 5 MPG going between 70-80mph, which was better than the escape. The stereo system is fantastic for just 6 speakers with good highs and surprisingly good bass. I am glad I gave Ford another shot
