I have a Fusion Hybrid and I love being able to go 80 miles or more on two gallons of gas. I live in a rural area and the nearest grocery store is 28 miles. My son attends junior high 22 miles away. T get to a real city with all the services it is 97 miles.. I was spending twenty dollars a day taking my son to and from school, now I can take him and pick him up for less than five dollars. The car does not require oil changes as often as a gas vehicle, and I like not polluting as much as a gas vehicle. The inflation kit in place of a spare worries me a bit, I don't believe that fix a flat and reflating will get me to safety. I have AAA, and the Ford comes with roadside assistance so if I get a flat I will likely call for assistance. The vehicles trunk is quite small due to the battery, but the rear seats fold down and so far I have been able to fit two weeks worth of groceries. The only other con would be the fluids the vehicle uses are quite costly, zero weight synthetic oil, and orange antifreeze that costs twice as much as the standard. I am enjoying being able to get in the ca rand go without stopping for fuel every few days.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this car. I feel it's one of the only (American) cars on the market that has the holy trifecta of price, reliability, and safety. There are certainly cheaper American cars out there (Ford makes a few, themselves), but the price of the Ford Fusion is very reasonable. Given the specs, I actually feel like it's a great bargain. A lot of my friends also own the Ford Fusion, and I feel like it has cult status among them. I feel like I'm part of the Ford Fusion club when we all talk about how much we love our cars.
