I've driven this car almost a 100,000 miles already, and I absolutely love it. As I drive a lot for work, it means a great deal to me to spend those hours in a vehicle I like. This car is extremely comfortable. It is really roomy for such a small vehicle. It gets great gas mileage (like 38 on the highway). Low maintenance costs so far (appx. 200 bucks, mostly oil changes and check ups). It can get up to speed pretty fast for a small car too. For the money, I couldn't recommend it more.

It's a Ford Fusion SE (fully loaded) with 55,000 miles. In terms of performance, it's mostly very good. Good power and acceleration -- a smooth ride. The transmission shifts a little hard between the smaller gears. Major flaw in performance: the engine stalls at very low speeds about once per week. When it happens, it's usually on the first acceleration after starting the car. The body is solid. Shutting a door, the hood, or trunk gives you heavy sounding think. The technology and trim are not stellar. The look is sleek and luxurious. But the navigation system is outdated and clunky, the cup holder tension springs are broken, and the fuse that controls the driver's seat adjustments continuously blows out. The cabin is quite spacious compared to others in its class. In fact, I hauled a dozen 8-foot long 2x4s with ease using the trunk pass through.
