It's been a very reliable car for the nine years that I've owned it. It's handled snow conditions fairly well and the maintenance costs are manageable. I generally get about 25-30 miles per gallon when I'm driving mostly on highways. It goes down to about 20-25 miles per gallon when I have to do a lot of city driving. The car requires very gentle acceleration and doesn't accelerate as fast I'd like it to when I'm trying to get up to speed while merging on the highway.

I switched from a Pontiac Grand Am over to the Ford Fusion. It has been one of the best transitions that I could have asked for. The car drives super smooth, has a ton of leg room for both the front and back. I feel that my daughter is extremely safe in this car. I will definitely be buying only vehicles that have the Ford logo on it from here on out.
