One year report - 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid

[excalibur1701n@yahoo.com]

It will have been one year since I bought my 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid. In a nutshell, I love the car!

I currently have 13,000+ miles on it. I'm averaging around 43 MGP during the cold winter months and very close to 50 MPG during the warmer times of the year. I keep track of mileage and gasoline purchases so this is very accurate. Overall I'm about 46.5 MPG

Some cons: - Driving with the windows open when going 40 MPH or higher. It creates a wind vortex and gets very noisy.
- When you turn the climate control on, it automatically puts the fans in high speed, which is very noisy. I wish it

would remember your last settings.

- I like driving one handed with my hand at the 6pm position. (especially during highway driving) No room to do

that with the steering wheel.

Pros: -Gas mileage, obviously. :)
-Very roomy and has lots of space. Wife and I were able to drive to Florida and back (1100 miles) and we had

plenty of space for luggage for a full week.
-Quiet and smooth ride.

- And lets face it, the car is pleasant to look at.

 

I'm a happy Ford owner!

Just bought my FFH and made a trip to the city and back, about 360- 400 km. Average is 5.3l/100km or in US speak, I think it is about 53.55 mpg. What a radical change from my Honda Odyssey van. Maybe I won't have to mortgage the house for my monthly gas bills!

Congrats! As you and your new car have time to get to know each other, things should only get better! Well, maybe not 53+ on a regular basis, but it seems you're off to a great start. :)

I am actually now down to 5l/100km which is about 56,75 miles per Canadian gallon. I wish I had the Navigation system on this car. Is it possible to have it added to the touch screen?
