I have the 4 cyl model The engine gets very good gas mileage for this size of car and is quite smooth on the highway. The Fusion is very roomy in front and back seats, and has lots of room in the trunk. . Very good car for the price. My only complaint is the location of the air conditioning heater buttons. They are very small and low down below the radio controls, so it can be difficult to find and use them especially at night. I have not had any repairs just normal maintenance during the two years I have owned it.
