Used Ford Fusion for Sale in Philadelphia, MS

The Fusion has been a great car for me. I decided to purchase new, and the car has been nothing but reliable. I have never had any issues with the vehicle outside of typical maintenance. The interior and exterior redesign over the previous generations is without question the greatest aspect of the car. The gas mileage is nothing to laugh at either. On long trips I typically see around 31 to 32 mpg driving like someone who has somewhere to be. In the future I would probably buy lightly used just because the residual value on these cars seems to be particularly poor. That being said, after three and a half years and 70K miles, I have come to adore this car and still glad I made the purchase. The only downside for me is that I didn't decide to go with the titanium and enjoy the six-cylinder version. Ford has really stepped up their game when it comes to making an accountable car. I was split between this or a Camry and am so happy with my choice. The styling of this model blew Camry out of the water when I was shopping for my first adult car.

The Fusion fulfilled my need for a good sized trunk, good handling and response, good pick-up acceleration and a few features like the trunk opening feature (fob-based). I like the room in the back seat, since I needed it initially for packages and bulkier stuff. Over time it seemed as if the materials used, especially exterior and interior trim, were of poor quality. I don't think I've ever had so many plastic and vinyl pieces fail and become brittle/break in a car or truck. The upholstery also seems to be difficult to clean or restore to the point where I gave up on some parts (seats) and simply covered them with better quality aftermarket options. The vehicle was a fleet or rental vehicle when I purchased it and had only 34k miles on it. Looking back it seems that a few things (seat cushioning, springs, visors, exterior trim, alignment, paint) all showed signs of fatigue and wear that didn't make much sense. Under the hood, I liked the layout for the most part, but (as usual!), some parts, in particular the air filter housing, were virtual torture to work with. Thank God, it was only a twice-a-year punishment at best! Engine performance was always good, but other powertrain components were another matter. Transmission shifting was increasingly rough, especially at lower speeds or downshifting. Sensors on the transmission seem to be incredibly expensive to replace, and eventual (premature?) wear on bearings and running gear still leave a bitter taste. Mileage is good - very good actually in most circumstances, but better traction technology could have helped. Brakes were steady, requiring minimal maintenance over time. The air bag recall problem was a comedy of errors - after 3+ years we're finally getting that repaired!

I'm by no means a car expert so I did receive some help in selecting this car, and boy I'm glad I did! From the minute I drove it home I knew that this car was a good purchase. It was a smooth and quiet ride, definitely one of the quieter cars I've driven. It's roomy and very comfortable. Additionally, even though I didn't receive any upgrades on the vehicle, it's still very "techy". The base model includes backup camera, Bluetooth interface for both phone calls and music, and an automated display showing MPG and other statistics.
