6 hours to try and talk me out of buying a Fusion
- Thread starter Kensington
- Start date
Yeah, I linked one before, I'd definitely fucks with an Accord...would prefer '16 plus so I could get CarPlay
I’ve been driving a 16-18 accord the last few weeks and they all average around 31 mpg 4 banger autos and cvt.
I keep hearing the v6 accords are fun and especially a v6 6 speed.
This!!!
I had a 2010 fusion and upgraded to a 17 Impala. It fits your bill and is a much nicer car than the fusion. Ride is fantastic, tons of room and power.
I got a 2LT v6 for under 20 and it get's 27-29mpg mixed even with the 300hp v6, it will do 33mpg all highway. My only complaint with the car is the quirks when plugging the phone in via usb when your already on a bluetooth call. Car get's all wonky and can't decide what to do. Not sure if that is a apple carplay problem or the car but I don't have these issues with Ford's Sync.
Only thing with a Honda or Toyota they hold there value and cost you more upfront but at the end it isn’t worth pennies like a a Chevy or a ford.
I have an impossibly hard time believing this.
Back in 2012 (yes a long time ago, i know things change) I took a lacrosse to Detroit and averaged 20mpg highway. and I wasn't even going fast. Yes it was winter, but still
Glad I wasn't working today at Naperville when the Flex came in! I'll make sure that one either gets fixed properly or doesn't see the front lot. 
As for the Fusion, my only concern is that we have been seeing some transmission problems with them from time to time. I recommend getting one within the factory powertrain warranty, or asking about the MaxCare extended warranty if you plan on keeping it beyond that time frame.

It's truth, I can take pics of the mpg screens. Don't drive with a lead foot and you get good mpg's :fawk:
This Malibu Premier with AC seats, Pano roof, 250 hp, $19.9 is at Naperville Carmax. Worth checking out while you are there.

Looking it up, looks like it's probably seeping out of a blown seal or out of the vent tube. It wasn't bad, but honestly, I didn't want to risk it and I had been eyeballing getting rid of it sooner rather than later. The car is great otherwise. No other issues whatsoever. PTU fluid could just probably stand to be replaced.
So, I have stated several times I hated my 2010 Fusion. Biggest concern was the seat is uncomfortable. Especially if you drive 25k miles. Fatigue is awful in the Fusion.
With that said, I went to buy my VW original oil filter for my Jetta last Thursday at the countryside VW. They had about 15-20 2014 diesel Jettas. Both wagons and reg sedans. 40 mpg and the wagon is perfect for a big dog.
The best is the price...your choice $15k with low miles.

I always have to throw this in there..have you considered a passat? I'd choose the fusion because AWD, but you said you don't care about AWD. Pretty sure they have apple carplay
Just worth mentioning, since we're talking about boring commuter cars.

I had a '11 Fusion, and actually loved it for trips. Was very supportive and comfortable. Had the 2.5 and was just slow. That's about the only thing I really had issues with, with it.
Just wanted to clarify. So folks I will say it now. No talking this guy out of the Fusion. He loves Fords and there really isn't a good reason why he shouldn't get a Fusion.
If it was a SHO I'd be here boxing him but the Fusion is an excellent choice and it has the requisite blue oval.
