6 hours to try and talk me out of buying a Fusion

[FirstWorldProblems]

That's probably what i'd buy if I had the same criteria

Not sure i'd buy it from carmax though. There's all kinds of people selling junk to carmax with leaky CV boots

Do u need a 4 door ?

Got a bigger dog that I need to fit in the back seat, so 4 door isn't a requirement, but it'd have to be a fairly big 2 door if not. Like Lincoln Mark VIII size

My brother loves his. He got a 2018 Fusion SE 1.5 Ecoboost as a company car. I think he was able to negotiate down into the low/mid $17K range with the dealer, so you might want to shop around.

Usually I wouldn't buy from CarMax, but their Fusion prices are surprisingly right in the wheelhouse for Fusion prices from what I can tell.

I have no response to this at all what so ever

Fusions are nice u can’t go wrong

 

[The Beast]

I would get a Acura or a nice Honda Accord they are nice and run forever and great resale value

 

[EmersonHart13]

New Civics are pretty big

 

[Spivitz]

Don't do it... Treat yourself to something fun.

New Civic or Accord.

 

[ragingclue]

What about the Mazda 6?

 

[Kensington]

New Civic or Accord.

Drive too much to buy new, going to get killed on depreciation

What about the Mazda 6?

They're just not powerful enough, I love everything else about them

I'd get a newer turbo one, but they haven't really hit the used market

 

[EmersonHart13]

Chevy Impala

I have a '17 Fusion AWD 2.0t and a '15 Mazda 6. Unless it's wet or snowy out the Fusion sees Mazda 6 tailights every time. Dig, roll, highway roll, always the same outcome.

The '16 2.0t is a different motor so not sure what the performance difference is.

When I do this over again (likely very soon) I'm going for rear-wheel biased AWD.

Interesting...The Mazda6's always felt quicker than the 187HP or whatever they're rated, but I'm surprised the Fusion would be slower...

I traded a '16 Accord EX for the Fusion. Hated the Accord, couldn't live with the CVT and super long gearing.

Passenger seat was also ridiculously low to the ground creating no thigh support. Be aware of this if you plan to use that seat.

My Dad is a huge Mazda humper and he didn't even consider the new 6 when he bought his Regal. They are so slow. The new motors killed he car. He had the old V6 and loved it.

So I'll toss his Regal in, he loves it and TURBO!

Yeah the '18 Grand Touring with the turbos are listing around $25k it looks like. Nice cars for sure. Some of those with less than 10k miles and certified too.

I drove the Regal, gave it a legit chance, just didn't like it. I mean, it was technically fine, but I drove a Fusion and Regal back to back, and the Fusion just felt better. I didn't really like the center stack/infotainment

Also, there was a new 2.0T for '17?
