Used 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid for Sale in Bridgeport, CT

The time came for a new car and top of the list was a new Fusion. Wasn't looking for a hybrid, but the dealer didn't have the color combination and options that we were looking for in a non-hybrid SE, but they did in the SE hybrid. So we gave it a try. With pricing right on top of non-hybrid models and with the trade, discount and rebates we got a deal that we couldn't refuse, needless to say we bought it that day and have no regrets. Overall the Fusion is a wonderful car. We took it on a long trip from central Virginia to Charleston, SC the second week we owned it and it proved to be most comfortable, far and away better than the '07 Buick we traded for it. My wife and I both are older, heavier and have bad backs and the seats were just plain excellent, even the side bolsters were not an issue and hold you firmly yet comfortably (did I mention that I am "full figured"). We have almost 5k miles on it and trust me I am picky and not one fault to date. Being new to hybrids it has been rather eye opening just how seamless the operation is. The benefit is fewer stops at the pumps and to date I am averaging an indicated 43 mpg, and I truly drive like I always drove, no additional attempts to maximize mileage. Other reviews have indicated that the engine loves the 3000 rpm range and I concur. At times that seems a little high, but it's what the CVT likes, so be it. It is pretty neat to be humming along at 70+ mph on battery though those stints are brief indeed. I too concur with other reviewers and have noticed that 60 mph seems to be a sweet spot for this car. It seems to be the best blend for gas and electric equally sharing the duties of motive power and fortunately for me that's where I spend most of the time, on secondary roads. I will say that I may have had a bit of concern about hilly terrain, but our recent trip to northeast Tenn to visit family put that to rest, our Fusion proved more than up to the task, even with two additional passengers in the car. Am I gushing too much? Now to the most berated of all features - MyFord Touch. Folks I don't have a problem with it. I will not cast aspersions on anyone, but seriously the owner's manual is provided for a reason - read it! People say it is not intuitive enough, but not having had experience with other brands I cannot make accurate comparison but it is far and away better than my wife's 2011 Fiesta's sync. Bluetooth pairs without fuss and Sync even talks you through it. I can easily change radio stations, toggle between other audio functions and make phone calls without issue even with my heavy hillbilly drawl. Even changing climate controls is no great issue as long as you follow directions. You can't go from Iphone to Android or Windows without some adjustment, MyFord Touch is no different. Speaking of Windows, Sync sometimes doesn't play nice with Windows phone, so some of the texting features will be lacking. Otherwise the panel buttons are an easy reach so there is no issue really. Only real issue is if you are a gauge watcher like me it can be a little distracting with the gauge switching between gas and battery operation, just seems to catch my eye easily. Otherwise completely happy with the car and the bonus is an 8 year/100k warranty on the hybrid parts so no worries about battery life! Added 2/27/2016 OK six months later and still no nits to pick. MPG has crept a little higher 44.6 mpg, winter warm ups naturally suck gas, but with gas at $1.40 in central VA who's complaining. Most of my friends who have had the perception that Fusions are rental fleet fodder can't believe the content and comfort of this car. With cheap gas maybe you don't need a hybrid but if I were to trade today I'd get another one. Even my friend who bought a Civic Hybrid about the same time I bought the Fusion wishes he'd have looked at the Fords! Added 8/29/2017 After two and a half years there is really nothing new to tell and still loving the car. At close to 30K the car is bank vault solid - no faults, no trips to the dealer for other than routine services. I am very picky, especially early in ownership to uncover any faults that may pose a problem later, again nothing to pick nits over. I am currently at an indicated 45.3 mpg in combined city/hwy. I will say that on a recent trip to New England we spent more on tolls from central Virginia to New York than gasoline. The one pitfall of the Fusion Hybrid is trunk space. The batteries take up a pretty good chunk. We can still get two very large suitcases, beach chairs, etc in the trunk for a week at the beach, so maybe this is a small nit after all. Cheers!
