The Fusion Active should be available late next year. As a plug-in hybrid, this may make me a Ford owner again. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a32064857/ford-fusion-active-confirmed-2022/

Unfortunately, I have lost most of my faith in Ford. The ugly C-Max was a significant factor in Ford's decline, and now they have the even uglier EcoSport. Ford considered the C-Max to be a replacement for the Escape Hybrid, which was a big mistake. If Ford had produced a crossover (or wagon) version of the FFH and Fusion Energi, I'd still be driving one of their vehicles.

"This is also one of many reasons SUVs are popular - they are easy to get in and out of." Whenever we visited my 92 year old mom, I chose to spend the extra money on gas for the 5 hour drive and took the 2006 RX instead of the FFH so that we'd have no trouble taking her places. People consider me to be in good shape, but since the RX has been my vehicle the past two months I really appreciate being able to slide into and out of the car, instead of falling in and climbing out. I boosted the height of the passenger seat for five years on the FFH using a pad and seat cover, but the comfort (and especially the looks) just wasn't the same as the standard SE seat. I got tired of looking at it and went back to the standard, lower seat the last 8 months I drove the Fusion. Starting with the 2017 FFH (with a light colored, adjustable seat available) this issue went away.

My wife never liked my 2013 FFH primarily due to the low passenger seat. It is probably the primary reason I traded in the Fusion instead of her 2006 Lexus RX 330 when we purchased our new Acura RDX. Saving money on gas on long distance trips wasn't worth the complaints I'd get.

I discovered one more thing last night that I like about driving the RX daily. We live on a flag lot with a very long driveway. Before the FFH I had a Pacifica in which I could load up the trash cans on the street every Tuesday to take back to the the house. Now I can do the same thing with the RX. I also won't miss worrying about what mileage I'm getting and hitting my head on the trunk lid while loading it. I do have, however, 99% good memories from the Fusion, especially the people on this forum.

We have been looking for a replacement for my wife's 2006 Lexus RX330 for the past three years. A month ago we found the perfect vehicle - the 2019 Acura RDX. My intent had been to trade in the RX, but since it still looks and is running great, I surprised myself and traded in my 2013 FFH. The Fusion has been a fantastic car, but this year I have fallen out of love with Ford and their poor corporate decisions. The fact that my wife never liked the FFH and that I was growing tired of falling into and climbing out of my vehicle influenced my decision. The trade in values were also the same. Somebody is going to get a dared good used car. So in November, I won't be writing a six year owner's report.

This should have been done three years ago. Here is more info: http://autoweek.com/article/rumormill/ford-fusion-may-live. Now the Energi version will have some cargo space.

This is how to reset the message that tells you to Service the Tire Mobility Kit:

"My 2013 runs fine, thank you." Mine also

The Fusion appear to be getting good changes and additions: https://blog.caranddriver.com/ford-refreshes-the-fusion-again-and-debuts-co-pilot360-safety-package/?src=nl&mag=cdb&list=nl_dvr_news&date=032318

On my last 300 mile trip I tried to keep my speed between 68-72 mph. I got 45 mpg. The same trip at 75 and above will get 39-41 mpg.

Total sales for the FFH in 2017 were 57,474, 70.8% higher than 2016. This figure is second only to the Prius Liftback, and is 273% higher than 2017 Camry Hybrid sales. http://www.hybridcars.com/december-2017-dashboard/

Update: Took my first long trip in a while over this past weekend. Templeton to Oceanside, CA, 300 miles. Averaged 45.1 mpg. I made an effort to keep the speed between 68-72 mph, which seems to make a difference. Many long stretches of level road felt like the Fusion was using minimum effort to maintain 70+ mph. I think I have my old FFH back!
