  • Comfort energy in HOV - 2017 Ford Fusion Energi

    Loaded with options will trade in at a value and sell best.

  • Fusion engeri Navigation is worthless - 2017 Ford Fusion Energi
    By -

    I waited to buy the 2017 to get the new technology. It is horrendous. I paid $700 for a navigation system that has missing exits on major interstate highways. Highway 5 that goes from Canada from Mexico. I contacted Ford and they refused to do ANYTHING! Waze and Android Auto which are FREE both outperform this lousy navigation. It cant recognize your voice, losses your downloads, contacts etc. cant find over 50%of the things asked of it. I cant get it uninstalled. Do not buy this no matter how cheap. I am constantly frustrated by it interfering with Android Auto.

  • Should be a bestseller - 2017 Ford Fusion Energi
    By -

    Two generations ago Ford Fusion was basically a modernized K Car. It was solid, but boring. Last gen featured the curvy new Aston Martin design. Big step up, comfortable, nice ride, Sync and Sync 2 was a disaster. With this latest refresh and Sync 3 they really nailed it. There are so many thoughtful touches like the door unlocks by touching the handle and there are lights underneath the side view mirrors so that you can see where you are stepping out. The ride is Lexus quiet, and I would argue the powertrain is smoother. With the Energi you guve up trunk space, so if this is your only car, it probably wont work for you. But as a second car or commuter car, its pretty perfect. You only get about 14-20 miles per charge but thats still good enough for around town driving before the engine kicks in. With holiday incentives and the fed credit it came out the same price as the standard hybrid model, so I went with this for the extra gas savings. Check it out, you wont be disappointed.

  • Magic Carpet feel of driving a car - 2017 Ford Fusion Energi
    By -

    Excellent ride in all respects. The only possible drawback would be with the trunk if a full size trunk is needed because the battery takes up about 1/2 of the typical trunk space. You do get a large glove compartment, storage in the center console and doors and use of the entire rear seat if not occupies. However for families that often require the use of an entire trunk with rear seat occupies, this would need to be a considerstion in the purchase of electric vehicles such the Fusion energi. : )

  • Great elecctric/hybrid sedan - 2017 Ford Fusion Energi
    By -

    Great commuter car - gas mileage is incredible for a mid size sedan. I have had the car for over 2 months and have 1800 miles on it. I am getting very close to the EPA figures of 42 MPG in hybrid mode (that is both city driving and highway driving) and 22 miles per battery charge . If you use the heater on cold days you will only get 18 miles per charge. You can switch to three modes - automatic, Electric only - EV, or hybrid mode.. Plus Ford dealers are giving great rebates plus the $4200 federal tax credit I paid almost the same as a regular Fusion with the same options. Electric mode is amazing for driving around town. I can go the entire weekend without using the gas engine. Electric mode (EV) is quick from 0-30 but slow from 30-60. But this car was made for high gas mileage and a great ride. Change between electric and gas engine is seamless - it is truly amazing. Of course you only get half the trunk space but I already knew that. Handling around turns is not as good as the 4cyl Fusion but it is still good. This is a heavy car so the handling is not as responsive as the 4cyl Fusion but the ride is just as good. ( I rented a 4cyl Fusion for two weeks and did a lot of driving in it). Overall I think this car is a great value with the dealer rebates and Federal tax credit.

  • Great Car Needs A Few Minor Tweeks - 2017 Ford Fusion Energi
    By -

    I bought one recently and I love car. I am averaging over 600 miles a tank as well. My previous car was a 2008 Honda Accord EX-L with Navigation and while the 2017 Fusion Energi Platinum is a nice upgrade, there are a few things that Ford needs to address (Im hoping someone from Ford looks at this for feedback. Even though its minor). The antenna is dated. Most new cars now have a shark fin antenna and this one doesnt. The SiriusXM radio system loses its signal way too often from blind spots compared to my old Accords SirusXM radio system that came out almost a decade ago. The navigations layout for when heading to a destination doesnt read as smoothly as Hondas. Last, the Navigations address book is a disaster compared to Hondas. 1) theres only one folder to save addresses instead of two; 2) the saved entries arent able to be alphabetized; 3) Theres a space limit on number of addresses that can be saved. I believe its 45 addresses which isnt a lot for me because Im in sales and use my car all the time. I cant imagine that much space in a computer is needed to save an address?

  • Slow but Spectacular - 2017 Ford Fusion Energi
    By -

    Sure, it lacks quickness and the trunk fits a few groceries as the known downsides but, everything else about this car is just fantastic and I am very satisfied with this car. I really enjoy the electric capability of this car. About 2/3 of my 1600 miles so far are electric. Sure, I wish it had more electric range but for the price of the vehicle it is fine....and I never have to worry about finding a charging station.
