Worst I've ever driven in snow.
It's hard to get in and out of if you're taller than 5'8". Comfort is fine inside but hard to squeeze in and out. I don't think I got a great deal buying it but the resale value is as if it were a throw-away car. I had an issue with the radio's head unit - got stuck on the Elvis channel as I was scrolling past it. That sucked. Big trouble with some throttling/stalling/fueling issues that took forever to figure out. The biggest thing I regret about buying this car - otherwise a decent vehicle - is how poorly it handles snow. It's ridiculously bad. When you let off the brake and touch the gas, the transmission engages VERY abruptly and there is no chance for recovery. The trans engagement is annoying in the dry but it's a death sentence in snow. The nose of the car will go 3 feet sideways for every foot forward. If there is a layer of snow/slush/ice of any degree, this car just can't handle it. Some cars are capable as long as you slow some and give it a chance. Not this car. Old ladies in Corvettes with a half-flat tire can get around better than this thing. Seriously, it's unreal how such a small car can't even remotely stay connected to the pavement. Not embellishing this at all. If you test-drove this car on a snowy day, it would be a deal-breaker. You'd demand a new pair of underwear when you got back to the dealership. Back to the transmission; its shifting sucks. Despite the abruptness on takeoff, the next 2 shifts are head-jerkers. It's like it hangs for 2 full seconds on the shift from first to second - you know it's trying to shift.... and then... and then... THUMP and JERK. And it does it again. What super-sucks is that is just normal driving. If you drive like a hoon and mash the gas (the car IS fast) the shifts are good. If you're just driving casually, wear a neck brace or you'll NEED to wear a neck brace. Beverages without a tight lid are a no-go in this car. Trust me. I told the dealer about it and they said it has a memory and will adapt its shift points to your driving. I'm calling BS because it has done that from mile 1. And, if I ever drove like that once, it never "learned" that I don't drive like that all the time. Oh, yeah, I scored it low on road holding as uneven pavement will make it wander with the irregularities like my 73 Jeep CJ5 (big tires and very loose steering gear.) I've had 2 Fords and 3 GMs. I've had issues with all of my trucks except the Sierra, but I've never had to fight so hard to get my stuff fixed under the existing/valid warranty as I do with Ford. Man, the car needs towed in because it stalled at Menard's and they act like that national recall on the throttle body assembly doesn't apply to my car. I'm not anti-Ford, but they are hard in the garage.

2013 Fusion Titanium 2.0L ecoboost
After putting 21,000 miles on this car I became frustrated with the lackluster MPGs and finicky infotainment system. I often saw the MPGs drop to 16 MPG, well below the claimed average. I never once achieved the maximum MPG average Ford claims this car would achieve. I made numerous complaints to the dealer and service techs, with the only advice being: change the gas station used to fill up. Didn't work! Traded this car in after 15 months for a new Jeep Cherokee and couldn't be happier. The Jeep weighs more and has continuously surprised me with better performance and better ride handling than the Fusion (and better MPGs). The ecoboost engine does not live up to the hype. I've test driven numerous new Ford's with the ecoboost and it continues to disappoint.

DO NOT GET ONE!
These are horrible cars. We have only had ours maybe 5 months, got it used. Has 45,000 miles on it. Has transmission issues which dealer has tired to "fix" twice. They reprogrammed the pcm and did not fix the problem. Now were back in the shop with same transmission issue and this time a coolant hose broke and vehicle over heated. Did I mention It only had 45,000? Definitely stick with a Honda or Toyota. I truly feel bad for anyone else who gets one of these they are very disposable, not made to last.

New 2013 Fusion Titanium
Just got a 13 Fusion Titanium 2.0 with 19" tires and have approximately 400 miles on it. I was concerned reading some reviews about the mileage but the first tank returned 26.5 mpg in mixed city and interstate driving. The car is very comfortable, great technology which is easy to use. I haven't had any problems with MyTouch but I'm familiar with Sync. The MyTouch responds as I expected without issue. The Sony sound system is very good.
great car-poor reliability
Nice car, plenty of power, good handling, however I've had over $4k in electrical repairs in a little less than 2 years including a Body Position Sensor, which took Ford over a week to diagnose, an A/C compressor, and the most recent, a Electronic Steering Assist module that took a week to repair. The Steering assist module is a known problem with these cars yet my VIN was outside of the recall so I had to cover it. If you buy a Fusion, or any Ford I'd be sure and get an extended warranty with it. Update, 6 weeks later the car is back in the Ford dealers with the same problem, "power steering assist fault" only this time while we were driving, no engine, no brakes no steering.. pretty scary. I'd have to say buy something else.
