I got a 2006 fusion, absolutely loved it but the gas mileage sucked on it. I drove from MA to NJ with the cruise at 65-70 and was only getting 23.9mpg. Sticker says 30mpg.
The fusion would have been 2 years old at the beginning of this month, but I was told by some people in the auto industry to trade it in before I hit 50K on it, was just over 48K when I traded it in for my corolla.
Was buying the fusion, buying the corolla.
Got nailed somewhat on the trade in. owed 19K on it, only got 11.5 for it so the other 8 grand got added on to the price of the corolla sticker of $16k/
I had every intention of keeping the fusion for 10 years plus but once I moved from RI to MA and still commute to RI for work 6 days a week the gas was killing me. Now instead of filling up twice a week it is just once
