Hey Scotty,
Wondering if a 2010-2012 Ford Fusion with the 3.0 or 3.5 V6 AWD with around 180-200k Kilometres is a good first car? Any issues I should look out for avoid?
Thanks.
See below: I would pass on it. 180,000 km is already 119,000 miles which is high mileage for that model.

Ford doesn’t even make them anymore. They gave up on sedans and small toaster cars. Definitely pass.
They can be OK with the larger engines. According to a few minutes worth of searching, they can also be victim to power steering failure. So watch out for that. But if the price is right they can be OK cars.
