Eileen, I live in Texas so I can't comment on the performance in the snow LOL. I bought my FFH 26 months ago. I continuously get about 38MPG but I drive mostly highway miles. It has been in the shop only once for a sync issue which turned out to be my iPod and not the car. I am currently having my first real problem with the car after nearly 50K miles. It's going in to the dealer tomorrow to look at the speedometer, it stopped working today. From reading posts on this forum, it sounds like it might just be a software issue. I love my FFH. Everyone who gets in it falls in love with it. It's a fairly smooth ride, pretty luxurious but sporty as well. It's plenty powerful and it has been VERY DEPENDABLE. As you can see from the miles, I spend alot of time in this car and the seats are comfy and roomy. I recommend you go for it. Get the extended warranty. I did it just in case the batteries need to be replaced. The warranty was $900. The replacement batteries were $7500 when I bought the car. it was kind of a no-brainer for me. I think the batteries have come down in price but do yourself a favor and check it out. They are only supposed to last 70-80K miles. I do have the back-up camera but hardly ever use it. I do use the driver vision package a lot. l love this feature. Good luck!! Susan

I have a 2010 Fusion Hybrid - one of the earliest ones with almost 50K miles. I bought it in March of 2009. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! I have had ZERO issues with this car until now. Last week I noticed the yellow wrench light come on but them it went off quickly so I didn't think much of it, just wondered if it was time to get it serviced. Then the next day I had a warning on my dash that said something about a system fault with my blind spot warning system. When I turned the car off and back on that warning light went off as well. Since the technology is so advanced, I wondered if, like any computer, it just needed a reboot. No problems for weeks. Yesterday, I was coming back from a trip to see my son in college about 150 miles away when the wrench came on again. I drove the car home, with no noticable symptoms. This morning I started the car, the wrench was gone but now the speedometer no longer works. I have used the car several times today, started and shut it off several times, still no speedometer. Has anyone else had this problem?
