Hi everyone, new to the forum. I am really into the fusion hybrid, it is by far the best car in the segment and after reading hundreds of articles and reviews I am really excited to own one. Need some advice though as to the usability of the hybrid drivetrain under my specific circumstances. By way of background, I live in New York city and take the subway to work and generally take cabs around in the evenings to dinners, events in the city, etc. I generally only use the car for weekend trips to the beach, the odd road trip to Boston or D.C., etc. Over the past 3 or 4 years I averaged about 3,000 miles a year on my old car. I'm concerned that, with so little usage, I won't be able to utilize the EV much because the car isn't driven enough to keep the battery charged. If thats the case, I wouldn't need a hybrid, and if thats the case, I would probably get an Audi or another BMW. Other concerns are, under limited driving (may go a month or more without using the car in the winter), are there any maintenance concerns with the vehicle? Thank you for the advice, lolshorts.
