I purchased the car approximately two (2) months ago, and have driven it approximately four (4) thousand miles. I was pleasantly surprised with the car, and ended up purchasing since my friend who is a mechanic has the exact car and had done nothing in 150,000 miles except beat it up and has only replaced brakes.
It handled extremely well, had plenty of power, plenty of room, and almost 30 mpg combined. It is loaded with leather seats, Bluetooth, and all of the bells and whistles you could imagine. I test drove a 2012 Ford Fusion SEL with only 67,000 miles on it. I began looking and came across the ford fusion. I wanted a comfortable commuter car with good gas mileage and reliability. I am always in the market for a new vehicle, as I was sick of my Chevy's, and finally considered purchasing a ford vehicle. After reading these comments on here, some of you have also transitioned form a Foreign vehicle to an American vehicle and do not seem to regret it. However, after encountering multiple friends of mine, who have strong obsessions and a pure passion for fords, including 2 of my mechanic friends who work on vehicles every day, they insisted I buy a ford based off of reliability, and simplicity to work on, after I had transitioned to a Toyota. Now, I was never very fond of Ford just based off what I had heard. It needed a transmission, all new brakes, a tie rod, wheel bearing and ball joint within the first 2 months of owning the vehicle. Every single one had a check engine light and was very unreliable.
For the longest time I had driven Chevy after Chevy, (5 of them to be exact), and had encountered many severe issues and had been stranded by 3 out of the four of them, including a blown transmission, a snapped frame along with a gas line coming out of the gas tank, and a security system malfunction which wouldn't allow it to run.
