I had the Fusion, very very reliable for me, quiet inside and no rattles. It’s a very boring appliance though. The focus hatch nicely equipped without that powershit transmission is a great car, corners very well and seems to get 40mpg regardless of how you drive it. If your choice is Titanium Focus Hatch Vs SE Fusion I’d get the Focus. These are very different cars though. The flex is excellent as well but totally different financial ball park and the interior is showing it’s age/Ford’s lack of investment.
