The 2012 Ford Fusion for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2012 Ford Fusion for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page helps you judge the 2012 Ford Fusion before you buy one anywhere.
Before you sign for the Fusion
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA has 2,617 owner complaints on file, mostly about steering, air bags and electrical system. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the specs mean
It runs the 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid, with front-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Fuel use is rated 6.2 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 19 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $9.61, and a 300 km weekend about $28.83. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$1,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who the Fusion suits
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Size and space
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The trunk holds 453 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Fusion answers the big questions. Rent the Fusion first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Narrowing it down
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $9.61 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $96.10 at our price setting.
Over to you
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
