Cons

None

Overall this is a great mid size sedan for any person or small family. For a small 4 cylinder this car is very sporty. This car comes stock with nice leather door arm rests. It's a great touch.

Hybrid dies for no reason on the highway - Stop Safely Hazard Warning

Purchased As New

I purchased the Hybrid in September 2012, loved the color, sound system, all of the features. I now have 1,400 miles on the vehicle. I loved the Hybrid so much that I paid to have the Grey Knight Ziebarted for years of pleasure. Now, I can't drive the Grey Knight for more than twenty miles, without the Knight dying in the middle of the highway. Four time now the big Yellow warning statement pops up on the dashboard menu - STOP SAFELY HAZARD WARNING - according to the handbook that" indicates the Hybrid component has a fault/failure that will cause the vehicle to shutdown", no kidding try moving into the shoulder with interstate traffic without any power or steering. Then the Grey Knight refused to start, after I waited five minutes! I had a full tank of gas, and the battery charge was almost full. I have returned the vehicle to the dealership many times, nothing, contacted Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship Center - nothing. As a shareholder of Ford Motor Company I am disgusted with the Dealership in Greenwood, Indiana, Ford Motor Company, that I just filled out the Lemon Law Claim, sold my stock, and I am allowing my attorney to handle the matter. My old 2005 Taurus is still moving, drives nice, but Ford Motor Company you should be ashamed of your lack of service to a loyal customer!! Go online and you will find that this is a common problem, that Ford has not solve. Oh, I file a complaint with the NHTSS. Thank God for free towing, three year warranty, as my Grey Knight will have less than 2,000 after I pass away from a heart attack dealing with the Dealership....read morehide

Pros

The best so far!

Cons

Front door reach to close, will inside.

Purchased As New

I'm a ex Ford Focus user. I graduated from a 2010 Ford Focus SEL. I'm very pleased with my choice so far. The steering in particular. Hydraulic verses electrical what a difference. I have bad arthritis in the shoulders so steering the car can be painful, but not on my 2012 Fusion. The only thing that I have a rough time with know is the reach to the front door handle to close it will I'm inside the car, not it's fault. So far I believe the choice was a good one. I have the 4 cyl. version, good economy like the Focus. I love the extra room it has inside versus the Focus. I would recommend this car to anybody that has a family. Another thing worth considering also is it has stayed up in the ratings and reviews. Thank you Ford for a great car.. Imported by Detriot USA!...read morehide

Pros

Great Design

Cons

transmission is a little lagy

Purchased As Not Purchased

Great Car, love it, I really wounder why ford choose to loose it's distinguished "fordish" look, and go for a regular "Aston Marin" clone like every body else ???
The 2012's grill is really fantastic, looks like it came out from a si-fi movie !
Really loved all the options that was included in the standard, better than all rivals in that.
The only problem is it doesn't have a good resell value....read morehide

Cons

HUGE CON

Purchased As New

The keyless entry number. I live in apt complex and my keyless code was taken from the glove box only 3 weeks old. This car was new to me and keyless was totally new experience. The thieves live in my complex and have party in my car nightly. Ford has NO BCAK UP PLAN THE CODE ID THE CODE EVEN IF YOU CHANGE IT, ADD CODES DELETE KEYLESS ENTRY THE ORIGINAL CODE ALWAYS WORKS UNLESS YOU REPLACE MODULE TO THE TUNE OF 300-500 DOLLARS AND I AM FIGHTING THIS ISSUE NOW. WHO MAKES a car with no back up plan in this day and age. My dealer was not helpful and told me basically to pay or shut up! FORD YOU MESSED UP BIG WITH THIS ONE FLAW.....THIEVES HAVE MORE ENTRY TO MY CAR THAN I DO....read morehide

Pros

Great MPG, comfortable, many great options.

Cons

Leather sucks, transmission slips, traction is terrible

Purchased As New

Live in Ohio so weather is unpredictable. Everytime that it rains, my car slips on take-off. The transmission shifts hard 50% of the time and jolts probably once every other day. The climate buttons are too low. On the plus side, It has many great options, back-up beepers,BLIS, rearview camera. Overall satisfied with my Fusion, but Ford can do much better for $29,000...read morehide

Pros

Smooth Ride, Very Good Gas Mileage

Cons

None

Purchased As Not Purchased

I rented this car to drive from Southern California to Northern Arizona and back (800 miles). I was very pleased with it. It averaged 28.2 miles per gallon with the AC on the entire way. It had plenty of power. The blind spot mirrors were a good idea. I thought the interior was very nice. The leather seats were comfortable. The lighting on the speedometer looked very cool. Setting up the MP3 player was easy. There were two minor things I didn't like about the car. The USB input is inside of the arm rest. I also thought the AC buttons were a little low....read morehide
