We originally went to the dealership to look at a Focus, but fell in love with the Fusion instead. It's a ton of car for the price. The interior is clean and comfortable and much bigger than it seems. We are able to easily fit two rear-facing car seats and still have enough room for my 6'2" husband to drive. It's so hard to find a sedan with that much space! The trunk is also able to accommodate a double jogging stroller. I love the Ford Sync and the back up camera system. It's simple to use and the big screen looks great. We opted for the turbo engine and are very glad we did. It makes it a pretty fun car to drive. The only downside so far is that we haven't seen anything close to the fuel efficiency we expected. I think 24/mpg is our highest. This may be due to the fact that we mostly make short trips. If you have a smaller family and don't want to go to an SUV or minivan, this is definitely a great option.

I love my Ford Fusion! I bought it brand new straight out of college, and it had 27 miles on it. I just passed 100,000 miles with it, and she still purrs like a kitten. I have always done the oil changes and taken great care of her, and she is taking care of me. The ONLY thing extra I have had to do on the car is replace some type of "arm" on the front-drivers side tire. Other than that, she has given me NO problems whatsoever. The engine runs smooth and shifts flawlessly, MPG is right around 24-26 for me driving my two kids around town, and can get 36 mph on the highway (going 60 mph). I have the sport package, so it included the bigger motor, the leather interior with accent trim, bigger tires, "glitter" in the black paint, and a rear spoiler. Overall, a great car, and I will drive her until the tires fall off!
