  1. Hello, I was wondering what tires would work best overall for the 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid. Is it still recommended to get the P225/50R17 97V Energy Saver A/S (OEM), or is there another tire type that works better in terms of usage and mileage?
  2. Hello, Late post, but I actually did end up purchasing the 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid w/ 18,447 miles. Its been amazing in terms of handling, mileage, look and just overall excellent!! Since it was still a used car, the dealer only filled the gas tank up halfway. However, with the usage and driving methods I would use on my previous hybrid, I was able to get near 375 miles before I have to fill up the gas tank the first time! I love it!! Thanks to all here for the information and recommendations!! :yahoo: Here's a picture of the car only having it 2 weeks.
  3. Thank you all for your information, and replies! This board has also given me much knowledge about the FFH. I just came back from the dealer a while ago, and have 2 preowned choices that I might choose... 1) 2017 FFH SE Mileage: 44,334 Exterior: Black Interior: Ebony History: 1 owner (rental) Price: $13,961 2) 2016 FFH SE Mileage: 18,447 Exterior: Magnetic Interior: Ebony History: 1 owner (lease) Price: $15,561 Both have no reported accidents, nor issues on the Carfax. Will also bring my mechanic friend with me to check both out... which one would you guys recommend based on the info? Is there a big mileage difference in the 2016 vs. 2017 FFH model?
  4. Hello, Back in 2012, I purchased an used 2002 Toyota Prius with 80k miles at an auction for $4800. It was great and I averaged around 52mpg average upon usage. The model line of first generation prius (2001 - 2003) had some defects, but the main one was the extremely small tires. They needed replacement just over a year of usage (about 15k miles with my driving). Anyway, it recently gave out at 220k miles and the repairs were just too much for what the car was worth. After doing some research on what I'm looking for and what my needs are, I've landed on purchasing a Ford Fusion Hybrid. My main questions revolve around how high the MPG can go assuming you're using good MPG hybrid driving techniques and live in mostly sunny weather (Los Angeles). The EPA estimated MPG for old 2002 Prius was 41mpg, but I was about to reach around 52mpg. The Ford Fusion Hybrid had an EPA estimated 42mpg, and I was wondering if I would be able to stretch the MPG to around 52mpg or higher like I did my old hybrid? I've been reading the information on this forum which has been extremely helpful, and have even seen a 600 mile club! :)
