Looking at this car becuase it looked nice to me. are they any reliable. i know they aren't as good as a toyota, but these cars go really cheap and its AWD. I live on a big hill up north in PA.
Those Fusions are relatively good cars. The weakest thing on it is the transmission so have a trusted mechanic inspect it thoroughly before you make an offer. If you want a reliable AWD vehicle, you should look at a Subaru. They make excellent AWD systems and they are really good for the ice and snow.
thanks man. i have heared the same about subaru transmissions. im split between the two.

Most common problems:
Power Steering Failure (see more)
Transmission Jerks or Hesitates
Overall I would recommend avoiding the Ford Fusion because of its major problems. You could do better for the money. The Fusion is nearing decent at best. Ford also doesn't care about their customer's safety one bit so recall work or major safety issues that pop up should make you very wary of this vehicle.
