We are going to test drive one tomorrow for my son. This has AWD.
Thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks!

No one was able to comment, so we test drove it and it met his needs. Nice car and very spacious. It is now sitting in our driveway.
Take away my YM card!!

Two friends of mine have them and love them. I almost bought one a few years ago but was too sick and often regret it.
AS far as your YM Card, I need the details - what year, how many miles, how much, what model and most importantly, what color?

2015, SE Model I think, 70k miles (was a corporate lease), Black with black interior, AWD- THE most important thing I wanted, loaded with all the safety features (was rated a Top 2015 safety car), roomy but sleek looking. Around $10K before taxes.
I know people will say I should not have spent that much on a car. But I could not find anything with under 150K miles under $8k w AWD in a sedan.

Poop to anyone who says that.
To me sounds looks like you did a great job finding an affordable vehicle in good condition with the things that are most important to you.
Curious - why AWD?
FYI, just starting to look at new vehicles with planned purchase next year.

I have a Fusion. It's a 2010, so a bit older - about 95,000 miles on it now and no AWD. I've had zero issues outside of regular maintenance stuff. This was a rush purchase at the time, and I wasn't feeling really confident about the purchase since I'd never bought a Ford before, but it's been an excellent car. I think you made a good choice! |

AWD because we live in the Midwest with snow possible over half the year. I was going to buy him a small SUV, but he wanted a sedan. Maybe others wouldn't have gone for AWD but it was important to me. Personal preference I guess

Personal preference I guess Actually, it sounds like a great purchase, and a Fusion is going on the list of cars to replace my Subaru when it's time. I won't go without all wheel drive anymore.
