update: ecoboost not efficient after break in
After putting 20k miles on this vehicle in almost 18 months of owning it I had to trade my Fusion Titanium in. Why? Ecoboost engine is not ready for prime time. On a pure highway trip of 300 miles, utilizing cruise control the entire way, after a recent dealer service (oil change, tire rotation, etc.) I could not break 27 MPG. In 80% city driving, from my granny of a wife, the car averaged 17 MPG and less than 300 miles/tank. On the day I traded it in, a cheap piece of plastic randomly broke off from around the sun visor as I drove onto the dealer lot. I wanted to love this car because of the sexy looks. It just couldn't live up to it's promises.
7 years later after purchasing in Feb 2013
I'm the original owner, took a chance on buying into the first model year of the redesign and still having a great experience at 105,000 mark. No major or minor mechanical drivetrain issues, total maintenance cost $4,177 which includes all oil changes & tire rotations, 3 sets of tires, front brakes, ac compressor, replacement hood latch, for filters for both cabin and engine. Still as comfortable as day one, suspension is expectedly looser, all gauges and hardware still working. Touchscreen & bluetooth w/Insync have been updated and still work with no issues. Now my daughter's car at college and a very safe and reliable well made car.

MPG
The MPG is horrible on this car. I have a 1.6L Ecoboost, and I don't even get 23MPG which is the minimum advertised, and I drive it gently. At the best I am getting 22.5MPG. I am really disappointed.
A 13 gallon gas tank? Sync still not ready for prime-time
I have about 9200 miles on my Titanium FWD. For the most part, this is a great vehicle. It is a nice driver and is quiet and comfortable. It handles extremely well. However, there are a couple of things that really make it hard for me to recommend to anyone else. There is a problem with the gas tank that prevents you from putting much more than 12 gallons in when you are near empty. The specs say 16.5 capacity. So plan on spending a lot of time at the gas station. My last car held 18 gallons so this is a huge inconvenience.
CPO, The Way To Go
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.
