With a 60 mile commute each day, mileage is important. By purchasing a hybrid, I have cut my monthly gas bill in half. Moreover, this vehicle is extremely comfortable for long drive, easy to maneuver, and has all the features I was looking for (heated seats, cruise control, leather interior, electric windows and seats, rear defrost, automatic temperature control, and so much more). I was leery of a hybrid when it comes to maintenance, but it doesn't require anything more than a traditional gas-operated vehicle. I can't say enough how great a hybrid is for anyone who has a daily driving commute! This will cut you fuel bill by half or more. In fact, the auto industry needs to go all hybrid! It's better for the environment and saves money for the owner. Insurance is no more than a regular car, so that's not an issue. This model is spacious enough for passengers in the back seat - plenty of leg and head room for everyone. Plus it has plugs in for mobile phones so you can charge your phone while driving - and that is really handy! You can also sync your phone to the audio system.

Ford stepped up their game with the Ford Fusion. The styling and finish far exceed any Ford of the past. I was hesitant to buy a Ford, but the constantly positive reviews were too compelling to ignore. I was looking to downsize from my full size sedan, and with increasing gas prices investigating hybrid vehicles became a priority to me. I knew there would be sacrifices, but I felt that the benefit outweighed potential negatives. Overall, I like my purchase, the gas mileage, styling, and reliability have been a plus. My only complaint is the trunk, the battery shelf is a big hindrance and makes longer pieces to be cumbersome.
