I love the way this car looks and drives.... but, it's never seen a gas station it doesn't want to stop at. Getting a combined mpg of less than 21 is simply not ok for a modern car with a 4 cylinder engine. I'm sure it's the AWD that's costing me at the pump, but I never expected to take such a huge hit over the EPA estimates. I'm no leadfoot, and I regularly get better than the EPA estimates in most my cars. Finally, I'll never buy another car with a built in navigation system. I've had one previously (in a '99 Volvo), but this one is much worse. First, it can't be used while the car is moving. I know. I know. It's a safety thing. But if my passenger can't use it while I'm driving, then it's simply not going to get used at all because we both have smart phones, and I'm not interested in stopping to fiddle with the nav system. And of course, the navigation system needs map updates. Ford sets the price on these at $149 per annual(ish) update. That's right, for the cost of a Garmin GPS with lifetime map updates, you can buy a one-time map update. Besides, why on earth would I buy another Garmin? I've got a smart phone. It's maps are updated in virtual real time, and the google traffic updates are FAR more accurate. I'm glad I didn't pay extra for the nav system, but it will always be there as a constant reminder of poorly implemented technology. Not sure how long I'll keep this car. I'm just not interested in pouring money into a gas hog. Updated a year later. My commute is much shorter now, so a tank of fuel lasts longer. MPG's still too low to be considered reasonable. Final update. The car has been quite reliable. I still never use the nav system, and I've seen the mpg move up. Took a 5,000 mile road trip and averaged 27 on the highway. Not really good, but not terrible.

First of all, the car looks great. Performance is sweet with the 2.0 Turbo with 240 horsepower. No trouble passing. I love not having to take the key out of my pocket to start the car, open the trunk, or lock the doors. Negatives: I'm 6 ft. tall and bang my head when I get in. Not a good design for any driver over 6 ft. or taller. The glove box is poorly designed. You have to move stuff around just to shut it and it's not very big. The Ford Touch screen sucks. Turns on by itself, and very distracting and frustrating trying to adjust heat and cool up and down by pointing your fingertips on a + or - sign. Give me old school round knobs that I can turn left or right. The trunk is long but not high enough to make loading any amount of luggage or cargo practical. There are no daytime running lights and no rear window wiper which would sure be nice. All in all a decent car but Ford needs to think of driver ease and practicality a lot more.

I love this car! I had to start with that. This is a really nice car. I had previously rented a Ford Fusion Titanium and I instantly fell in love with the way it drove and the really cool features it had. I was sad to give it back, lol! So I decided to get one myself. This car rocks! The Ford Fusion is a midsize, but it feels bigger on the inside. It handles like a smaller car. It has a very confident feel in the way it goes down the road. On the highway, it's like a luxury car. Very quiet and stable. I have the Titanium trim which has the 2.0 Turbo four. It pulls like a V6. The interior is also very nice. Nice soft touch plastics, an awesome sound system, and a great navigation system, make the interior a very inviting place. You also change the color of the mood lights. I have no worries that it'll be reliable and hold together for a long time. It feels like it'll last for a long time. **Update** It's been a year since I bought my Fusion and I'm still excited about it! I still get gitty walking to the car every time I drive it. It really is an enjoyable car to drive. I do a lot of highway travel and this is the best car I've owned for long distance travel. The seats are very comfortable, the ride is awesome. It is on the firm side of comfortable, but still very compliant. I haven't had any issues over the past year with it. It has been very reliable. I'm not planning on getting a new car for a while, but when time comes to get a new car, I would love to get another Fusion. It really is a great value and fun car to drive.

Bought this car after having a 2007 Fusion that I never had to fix anything on besides normal things like tires and brakes. I have 22k on the new car with only one problem the seatbelt in the back was made wrong. The dealer replaced it and every thing works great. My 2007 Fusion got about 26 MPG (2.3l 4-cyl manual transmision) on my run to work and had about a 160Hp my new Fusion is getting about 27-28 MPG with 240Hp (2.0l turbo)...I'd say that is a win for EcoBoost. My Ford Touch can be slow at times but I love it. Heated and Cooled seats are the best. The heated steering wheel needs work the outer rim heats up but nothing else. This is the first automatic trasmission that I have not hated. I usually drive manuals but my wife talked me into an automatic because she can't/won't drive one. Update... Nothing new to report after almost 40k no problems. Change oil, fill with gas and drive. When the construction on my way to work finishes, my gas milage should get better. Sitting sit idling in traffic jams does not help. Almost to 50k no problems. Everything works like it should. Love the cooled seats, well worth the money. Took it on a long trip and avaraged 32MPG over 2000miles not bad. The rain sensing winshield wipers work very well but have a hard time with fine road spray after a rain has stopped.
