Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It drives very smoothly on the road and benefits from a high driving position. It feels like your driving a jeep. Though you have to take corners carefully, compared to a smaller car. You can't drive it like a rally car. The engine has plenty of power and makes motorway driving a joy.
What's it like to park?
Parking is quite difficult in the fusion. I've found reversing into a parking space the best policy. I think most modern ford cars are difficult to park.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The switch that controls the light above the mirror has broke and now the light dosen't work. Apart from that no problems so far.
What's most practical about your car?
The space inside. It has a very high ceiling for a car of it's size, even tall people like me have plenty of room.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Automatic wipers and lights.
