Hello, I went to a used car dealer that was offering me a 2015 Ford Fusion Energi Titanium with 60k miles clean title, only problem is that it had an accident on it in the rear but it was only cosmetic, they gave me the Carfax and are offering me it for $16,225 after taxes, dealer fees, and tag transfer? I looked at the car in person and they fixed up the damage at a body shop, I am buying cash outright I like the car and all the electronics of the vehicle work as they should. Is there anything to look out for or should I budget in a Ford Dealership inspection just In case? Vin is: 3FA6P0SU8FR307646 I included the Carfax as well as images of the vehicle Please help me out, I'd be very grateful

Hey thanks for reading! I am in the process of purchasing my second Ford Fusion, my first Fusion Hybrid. I am going through Carvana which offers a 7 day test drive before you accept the vehicle. Today is day 1 of my second 7 day test drive, I swapped the first one out because it lacked options(no leather mainly). It was a 2015 Fusion Hybrid SE, the one delivered today is 2016 Fusion Hybrid Titanium. I am hoping to get some input on the driving experience I am having in the 2016 vs. my experience in the 2015. I loved the way the 2015 drove, really smooth and refined feeling, I just wish it had leather and maybe a few other options. I love the 2016 Titanium for its nice interior and plentiful options, but it is not driving as well. I'm not sure if I should just swap it out for another again or tell Carvana my issues and try to have them get it fixed... The issues you ask? I notice 3 things with the 2016 Titanium that are different from the 2015 SE 1. MPG is worse, based only on the displayed MPG on the lcd in the gauge cluster. I was able to average 48-58mpg for most of my trips in the 2015, the 2016 is reporting 23-42. I am basically doing the same daily driving routes in both. 2. The gas engine engages sooner in the 2016 than the 2015. I notice that I can only run the EV gauge up about 60% before the gas engine kicks in no matter how light my foot is. In the 2015 I was able to consistently hover the EV gauge around 80-90 percent while cruising under 40mph. 3. I notice that the regenerative braking starts to take effect as soon as I take my foot off the gas pedal in the 2016 and the car seems to decelerate quicker than in the 2015. In the 2015 the regenerative braking do not start to take effect until I put pressure on the brake pedal, and the 2015 seem to coast more when I took my foot off the gas? I have a feeling that these may all be linked to the same issue, just don't know what that issue may be. Any ideas? One other thing, this Hybrid Fusion Titanium is the last one they have, so if I do a swap it will be a Fusion Energi Titanium, but i live in an apartment with nowhere to plug in, can I expect the same mpg performance as a regular hybrid if I never plug in/ charge the Energi Hybrid? Again, thanks for reading and all responses are appreciated! Mike
