Fuel Economy
Throughout its history, the family-friendly Ford Fusion has always strived to give you the best possible fuel economy. That's why, in 2016, EPA ratings are better than ever. If you want to save the most money at the pump, you're going to have to go with the new model.
The used 2010 Ford Fusion covered the most miles with the least gas using a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. It achieved 22 city/31 highway, which wasn't bad, considering. Back then, you'd get a much better performance out of one of the V6 engines, but you wouldn't save as much money on fuel.
These days, the tables have turned. All three Ford Fusion engines improve gas mileage - and therefore savings - and give you a smooth, powerful performance to boot. To make the most out of your earnings, check out the turbocharged, 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine. It achieves an incredible 25 city/37 highway mpg. Once you test-drive this baby, you'll never look back.
Trade-in Value
When you're shopping for a new car, buying your next new car may seem like something that's going to happen a long, long time from now. However, that time will be here before you know it. That's why you should set yourself up to get the best possible trade-in value in the future. You can do this by going with the 2016 Ford Fusion. Newer cars always offer better trade-in values, and you currently can't get a Fusion that's any newer than this one. It's a better financial choice than the used 2010 Ford Fusion.
There's another benefit to buying the 2016 model: you get to make all the decisions. When you buy used, you may never know whether the previous owner made an effort to get regular tune-ups and oil changes. Lack of proper care from a previous owner can contribute to a lower trade-in value.
