DO not,I repeat Do not buy that car... it's sweeet to drive but he'll to maintain. I should. Know. Cos I own one and it's currently. Sitting in the garage like it has. For the last 4 months due to gearbox break down that didn't even give 5 minutes notice bfre happening. Off course the gear box only packed up after hundreds of thousands spent in less than one year fixing issues. That kept creeping up and reoccurring with regularity

In what country or realm is the Ford Fusion the best selling car? It's definitely not the best selling car in America. That goes to the Camry which has been the best selling car since 2002 (followed by a car in a different class the Honda Civic). Stop trying to recommend bad cars for people.
Funny enough the Fusion is a far better looking car than the Camry, more premium.
The Fusion has been in the top 10 while the Ford F-series has sold more than any Toyota cars in 2015.

Looks are opinion-based. I personally feel that the Fusion is a horrible looking car with his Bass-Fish looking mouth. It's terrible. I'm not saying the Camry is the best looking car in the world, but it's certainly better looking than the Fusion (in my opinion)

Best selling truck goes to the F-150
Best selling car remains Toyota Camry as it has always been

People in America's working class buy trucks. Most Americans are not scientists or engineers and have to haul things around (contrary to popular belief and what Nigerians are told) and work menial jobs so they drive trucks.

However, for cars Camry has been the best selling car for 13 years and counting.

Fusion is the best looking car in its segment dumping Camry and Accord off, the fact that the Camry is epitome of bland styling and poor drive handling is an open secret.

Toyota reliability with the annual recalls is been over-flogged, Ford cars especially the Fusion and Taurus post above average reliability rating similar to Toyota and Honda.
Take a look at the comparison between Ford Escape and Toyota Rav4

Another testimony from an owner of both brands. Equation is balanced.
Shullamite, no mind that fowl brained pato abi na potato wey him call himself. Now you know who's your enemy on nairaland.
I think pato was invoked with evil spirits from your village so that he'll caress you with sweet mouth to buy the ford and later fall into perils. Thank God you're now aware of the evil spirits (he's a legion).

@ chucky234, I no want your case because I know you can never find any good in Toyota.

ROFL not even close. Looks in this segment are hands down 2016 Honda Accord. Fusion is the worst looking car that has ever touched the face of this earth this decade. The previous generation was much better looking. Fusion is atrocious.

Toyota got a 74 in 2013 for overall reliability and Ford got a 51. It should give you a hint/clue.

You of all people should know that I'm a big fan of Honda but take your time to find out how the Ford Fusion knocked Accord out of top 3 in the best selling car segment.

There is no misconception. American magazines have stated over and over again that Ford isn't capable in regards to reliability. Are you going to argue with experts?

Bro, I don't want to argue. To say there aren't misconception is just a lie. The American magazine you tout as the holy grail are nothing but opinion of those in a position of opportunity to write for a magazine. Admittedly Ford have issues just like any other car.

I can easily link a few good report on Ford models that are good but hey, according to you there aren't any or something.

This thread is starting to go off rail so I'll leave it as that. Thanks.

The results are that the Camry and Accord comfortably beat out the Fusion. The Fusion isn't even considered competition. The only competition the Accord and Camry face are from the Sonata (Hyundai) and the Optima (Kia).

Thanks a lot for all the points and advice.
Fulaman198:
In the end Shullamite, you have a brain. You don't have to reason with no facts. Most people that are anti-Toyota/Honda are followers and have no sense of shame except to join the redneck white-Americun (pun intended) bandwagon. There is a reason why Asian cars are touted and respected for their reliability. There is a reason why Toyota had to train Ford in the 80s/90s on how to build better reliable cars. This is because Americans think with mass-production in mind (quantity over quality).

Toyota and Honda know they have big boots to fill, so they can only go down, so they are trying to remain at the top. In end, the decision you make is on you. If you choose to believe those who deceive you on here, in the end you will be the one paying for your own actions of believing nonsensical statements.

Ok thanks, maybe I should be tilting towards EOD already. I fell in love with the escape becos of the SUV and the price I was offered was cheap to afford, and I like the roominess because I am a tall person that like space in cars.

www.autonews.com/article/20140331/RETAIL01/303319872?template=mobile
.
Here in Canada Fusion was the best selling car in 2009-011, and in 2013-2015 beating Camry to the top spot.
.
And for the month of March 2015 in the US market Ford Fusion dumped Accord out of the top 10 with CR-V the only Honda making the list.
www.cheatsheet.com/automobiles/10-of-the-best-selling-cars-trucks-and-suvs-for-march.html/?a=viewall
.
In the top 20 in May 2015 you have 5 Ford cars on the list, Honda with only two and Toyota....no comment
www.autocontentexp.com/20-best-selling-vehicles-of-2015-so-far/
.
In top 21 overall sale for the year you have Fusion in occupying number 9 position while the ever present Ford Escape is in number 11.
Remember this is midsize sedan and SUV combined list, the Escape is always there.
www.caranddriver.com/flipbook/magnus-numeris-here-are-the-21-bestselling-vehicles-of-the-year
.
Even in the Hybrid segment you have the Fusion sitting closely to Camry in second place.
www.cheatsheet.com/automobiles/the-2015-toyota-camry-hybrid-vs-4-midsize-competitors.html/?a=viewall
.
By the way the Elantra has done far more in sales than Sonata in the non-luxury car segment yet both still rank below Fusion both in sale and style.
Do your research bro.
