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
Reliability Personified!

I wanted a car that would be both comfortable and reliable on long commutes in all kinds of New England weather. My 2013 Fusion has lived up to my highest expectations over that last 5 years and there have been no services costs other than routine maintenance. It was a great choice!

Mine has the 1.6 EcoBoost, 6 speed automatic. I bought it almost 5 years ago at about 36,000 miles. The current odometer reads just over 140,000 miles. Initially, it was a great car and a good experience, but as soon as I hit 120k it turned into a basket case. I have done everything I could to keep this car well maintained. Air filters every 20k, instead of every 30k like Ford says, full synthetic oil changes every 6-7k miles, regular transmission fluid changes, a couple of brake pad sets and rotors throughout my ownership, the coolant was changed at 90k. It has a quiet and comfortable ride, great highway fuel economy (not so much in the city) and good space for what I use it for. I think the interior is clean and nice looking and I like the efficient use of space like the massive door storage areas and deep trunk.. But as soon as I hit 120k miles, everything started to go downhill. Rear shock and mounts (twice for some reason), alternator , 2 battery replacements, engine mounts, oil leaks forming around the timing cover, valve cover, near the turbo, and a complete TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I lost all gears out of the blue one day even though I've taken it to the dealer for regular fluid changes to prevent this very thing from happening. The dealer never told me why the transmission failed, just that it did and that was a $5,500 repair. Coolant hoses started to leak and the car overheated and shut off (which is nice that the car does that so you don't ruin the heads or head gaskets, but still) egr purge valve canister failure and replacement (not a huge deal). The brake hoses burst on the front while I was driving. That was fun...the car does have a system that keeps the unaffected brakes partially working, but still it wasn't confidence inspiring.. The electrical system has also recently done some really strange things. The radio stays on sometimes even the car is shut off and doors are open, other times it won't turn on at all. Sometimes the satellite radio only plays a few channels but can't get a signal on the rest. The gauge cluster had something short out inside it so that needed replaced at $550. One time, there was a wire near the drivers side front wheel that had been damaged/corroded somehow and I lost power steering, traction control systems, abs, and I got all sorts of lights and warnings on the dash. From one corroded wire. I could keep going but the point is that I love the way it looks, the color, the practicality it offers, the highway fuel economy, and the handling characteristics, but I need to get out of it as soon as possible, I can't keep going back and forth for repairs.

This is a 1.6l ecoboost not a 2.5l. Got this fully loaded Fusion SE Ecoboost 4 years ago. Certified Pre-Owned deal, had 8500 miles when obtained. Every available option - from moonroof to 18 inch wheels, backup camera and assist, automatic wipers, lights, high beams, mirror dimmer, Sirius XM satellite radio, full navigation system in SYNC with big screen, and more included in this jewel. Have over 80k miles on it now and still functioning like new. Only downside is a petty one — the miles to empty and fuel gauge compensates to leave you with about 2 to 3+ gallons remaining when it says you are empty. Not a really bad reserve to have though. Dealer support for recalls and regular maintenance is outstanding. Have had no issues regarding this vehicle. I’m 6’6” and have no issues with headroom or comfort.

I leased this car in Nov 2012 and driven 8k miles so far. The car has great styling and a comfortable ride, but the gas mileage and jerky transmission has been very dissapointing. I live in los angeles and drive a mix of both highway and local roads. My average mpg is 21.8 and that requires driving like a grandmother. My old acura 3.2tl got similar gas mileage but was much faster and enjoyable to drive. BTW, my ford touch stinks. its extremely slow, and can be distracting to operate while driving, it does not support any apps (ie yelp/pandora). On multiple occassions it has froze and required the car to be restarted to resume working.
