How reliable is a 2012 Ford Fusion?

If I buy a 2012 Ford Fusion, will it last for a long time? I’m not sure how reliable Fusions are and I’ve never owned a Ford before, so I don’t have much to compare it to.

The 2012
Ford Fusion
is rated as being pretty reliable and can last up to 200,000 miles or more with proper maintenance and care. However, 2012, 2013, and 2014 models are more prone to transmission problems than other model years, so it might be worth looking for a different model year if you want to maximize the reliability of your vehicle.
It’s also worth mentioning that Ford discontinued the Fusion model in 2020, so finding replacement parts may become increasingly difficult as the years go on. If you do purchase a Ford Fusion, make sure to inspect it thoroughly before signing the contract.
