  Best Car Purchase Ive Made - 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
  By Trey - December 23 - 1:22 pm

  I bought this car Certified from a Ford dealership, 4 years old with 50,000 miles on it. I bought it specifically for the gas mileage of the hybrid. I had seen several reviews of the hybrid saying that they werent getting the rated 44mpg city in the real world. Still, I figured Id have to save a lot of money on gas upgrading from my old vehicle, so I went with it. I couldnt be happier with the gas mileage. I am a volunteer firefighter, and if Im making a run and really accelerating hard (not all the way to the floor every time, but still asking for a lot of power), I see around 37 to 39mpg from a trip. If Im really trying my best to increase fuel economy, I regularly get near 50mpg, no problems. And if Im driving along as usual and not paying attention to my gas mileage or acceleration, Ill get around 46mpg, maybe even a little more. There are all kinds of driving aids and tips that you can configure on the dash to help coach you in getting the best gas mileage, and at the end of each trip when you turn the key off, it tells you how many miles you drove, your fuel economy for that trip, and a few other fuel economy related items about the trip. It didnt take me long at all to get used to driving the most efficiently for this car. I drive between 100 and 200 miles a day usually, between work, school, the firehouse, and any other driving I do, and Id say overall I average around 46 or 47mpg. I bought the car hoping for great gas mileage, but really Im getting even more than I expected without really trying. So with gas mileage, I am more than happy. Moving on, I love the look of the car, inside and out. My mom (who has owned a Mercedes before) told me she would have thought it was a Mercedes getting in the passenger seat. Its really a very appealing car by looks, both inside and out. Mine has the touch screen and heated seats and Im very happy with the value and what all options I have (which Im still discovering as I go on). I feel like Im driving a luxury car every day. One random thing Ive noticed is that you dont need to turn the A/C on to have cold air blowing. And Im usually the person who will have the A/C on 11 months out of the year. With the Fusion, I rarely turn it on. I find myself getting chilly in the car with only the regular climate fan turned on and turned to Lo. Somehow, it cools the car down more than my old cars A/C did, without me ever having to turn on the air conditioner, which again saves fuel. My only two things I can point out that Im not the biggest fan of (and this is only because Im really looking for a downside to report, its really not a big deal) are: 1) the bluetooth will lose connection with my iPhone 7 fairly often, to the point where I dont use the car to make phone calls because it will almost always cut out during the call, and 2) Id rather have physical buttons than touch-sensitive buttons for controls on the center-stack, because I have to take my eyes off the road to adjust the climate, I cant just feel for the buttons or knobs. But really, thats just personal preference, and not a knock on the car itself. Overall, I am thrilled with the car. The gas mileage is better than expected and the only reason I can think that others arent seeing these numbers is because theyre driving the car like a regular gasoline motor without following the tips that the car gives you. It only took me a couple short drives to get the driving down, and now I do it naturally. And its not like Im driving extremely slow or anything. I got a ton of compliments on the car the first day I drove it to work. It looks and feels like a much more expensive car than it is. I love the car so far, I have an extended warranty and free scheduled service on it for a couple of years, so I really expect it to be cheap to own and drive. And a big shout-out to Jim ONeal Ford, everyone there was more than helpful with me, with no pressure, and I cant thank them enough. Absolutely no regrets with this car!

  This is a great car. So far no problems a couple of recalls, all taken by dealer. Still happy with the Fusion. Put 3 thou+ on since the last review.

  Great looking car, terrible reliability on Ford Sync, Poor mileage - 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
  By r_r - October 28 - 10:47 pm

  Car looks great, drives well for a hybrid, solidly built with a nice interior. However the Ford Sync system along with voice-activated navigation totally sucks. Navigation doesnt compute route 1/2 the time, screen keeps freezing over, reboots by itself. To add insult to injury, Ive had the car 2 months and taken it twice already to the dealer--they simply reset the system and say nothing is wrong and nothing more they can do. Completely unacceptable. If you buy this car, avoid getting the sync and navigation system. You will be burning a few thousand $ for nothing.

  The car is amazing - 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
  By raazer - October 23 - 1:42 am

  I have had mine for about 2 weeks and have put over 700 miles on it in that time. I am regularly hitting well above 40mpg and on one occasion hit 48.5 mpg over a 90 mile trip. I figure that the more I learn how to drive the car properly Ill be achieving the full EPA estimate of 47mpg on a consistent basis. The MyTouch is quirky at first but its just like any computer. You learn the commands and how it functions and you can master it. In the 2 weeks Ive owned it, I have learned every command and have found it to be quite a reliable tool in the vehicle. The only features I do not have are the park assist and the adaptive cruise control. So far everything else functions as it should.

  OK to Drive, Do not expect anywhere near EPA - 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
  By acdii - September 1 - 8:06 pm

  Purchased on 11-23-12, and the car handles Great, rides nice, comfortable to drive for long trips, However, it does not get good MPG. I have a 2010 Fusion Hybrid, I never had trouble getting EPA in it, no matter what the weather. Most of my driving is done on Rural Highways of 55 MPH, and I use the Ecocruise as suggested, and have driven Hybrids since 2007, and this car is nearly impossible to get in the 40s. I have to really work hard to get 38. The Myfordtouch is horrible too. No APPLINK either. Ford said the car is fine, I dont believe them. The math does not add up to what I put in the tank and what the dash says.

  2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid Hits Another Homerun! - 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
  By revjamesl - June 7 - 6:00 pm

  Can Ford get any better? I had a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid Limited and it was a tremendous car. The 2013 Fusion Hybrid is that much better. Where do I begin? The style of the car is high end, and agree with reviews that it resembles Jaguar and Aston Martin. Very sleek exterior; nice interior. Have always been a fan of the Sync system and its easy-to-use interface. Spacious interior provides plenty of room and is very comfortable. It advertises as getting 47/47 mpg and I have to say I have been getting into the 50s in city driving with ease. Im never been much for red cars but the Ruby Red is beautiful and fits the design of the car very well.

  Fantastic Car - 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
  By dewiseone - January 27 - 6:07 am

  Took over 3 months from ordering to possession but was well worth the wait. My wife and I absolutely love the car. It is the most comfortable car I have sat in. It is easy for a large man 6 ft 285 lbs to get in and out of. We are only averaging 40.9 mpg. I know it is not 47 but blame the EPA and not Ford. They make up the rules for the test, Ford just followed them. I am happy with the mileage, how many other roomy mid size sedans can get over 40 mpg?

  Lame MPG - 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
  By mxgolf - August 15 - 12:43 pm

  I actually love the car but the mileage is not even close to EPA numbers. 33 MPG is not 47 or even close. I drive like a grandma now and it still does not get near what its supposed to. I would gladly get rid of the car due to Ford lying about the mileage. I do live in Oregon which has 4 seasons but the weather should not have anything to do with fuel mileage. If there was a lemon law for fuel mileage I would gladly give this car back. Unfortunately I am stuck with it. I would not recommend buying the car if you are buying it for the hybrid mileage.

  Great Car, MPG Overstated - 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
  By pdt66 - July 11 - 7:25 pm

  I bought a 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid SE in Bordeaux Reserve to replace a 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid. While I loved my 2011 model, I decided to update to the 2013 based on the sleek new styling, the larger head, leg, and hip room, and to a small degree the increased fuel economy. I have no regrets, as the 2013 model is a wonderful car. The look and feel of the car is great, and it is much bigger than the 2011 model. It is quiet, smooth, comfortable, and well equipped. That said, you most likely will not be able to achieve 47 mpg as rated. Granted, I have been able to get about 40-41 mpg by carefully monitoring my driving habits to maximize economy. This is a slight improvement over the 2011

  Terrific Car - 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
  By pitt2637 - June 30 - 4:12 am

  We have 1400 miles on the car and that includes a 600 mile trip. Averaging 38 MPG in mixed driving and 36 MPG on the trip while normally driving 70-80MPH. We love the way the car handles, looks, and drives, and are happy every time we get in the car. I have four kids ages 10-16 and they love driving in this car and using all the different seats. However, the navigation voice recognition is not performing well and we intend to take the car in to have it looked at. Our car has almost all the upgrades, which I love, but we expected much better voice recognition from the expensive navigation unit. Certainly we recommend this car as it is fantastic.
