NurseGuy Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 New Fusion owner, and have never been happier! These little cars aren't flashy or fancy but damn if they ain't the most comfortable little things ever! I have never been more comfy while driving. The car drives like brand new, rides smoother than my old Cadillac, and has enough pep to pass folks on the freeway without worrying if you're going to make it. Gas mileage is averaging more than 33 mpg city and 35 mpg highway! My little fusion is a 2012 model with 163,000 highway miles. Runs like a top, tight as the day it came off of the showroom floor, and rides like new! I hope this little car will take me another 163,000 miles! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangster Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Hello and welcome! Hopefully your Fusion continues to be reliable and a great car for you. With a little maintenance and upkeep they can keep delivering that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has 163,000 miles (highway). 1 owner who was military and drove all over the country from base assignment to base assignment. He actually traded me even for my 1997 Mustang GT (also in immaculate condition) for the Fusion. I have honestly never ridden in something as comfy as this little Fusion! I have owned Cadillac, Mercedes, Jag, and Lincoln. The closest in terms of comfort was my 1994 Town Car. In terms of handling and ride quality, nothing that I have owned in my 18 years of driving comes close to this! I can only imagine how awesome it was brand new, as it currently feels as if it JUST came off the production line! No rattles, no wind noise, no tire roar, no nothing. Just quiet, seamless shifting, and a pretty peppy little 4 banger. I believe it to be the 2.4 liter that Mazda teamed up on to engineer. I do wish that it had the leather interior package, however, the cloth seats are still supple and very VERY comfortable. I am roughly 5'11" and weigh over 300 lbs. There is still an ample amount of room for my big ole belly (hahahaha) and my long legs. The stock sound system is quite impressive (I still have a years worth of Satellite radio that the original owner purchased just before we traded). I hope this little Ford gives me another 163,000 miles! I have all maintenance records from the dealerships where it was serviced. All maintenance records indicate that that it was serviced according to dealer specs and schedule. New timing service at 150,000. Oil changed every 3k miles, fluids changed, etc, etc. Do you recon it has another 100,000 miles in her left to give? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
