My 2009 Ford fusion cost me $680 last year to maintain and that included a new power window, two cylinder heads, and 4 oil changes.

My dad was quoted $1150 to replace a cracked windshield in his Tesla that was damaged all the way back in January, he’s still driving with the crack.

Ford won’t have an issue selling EVs when the cost of replacement parts is not the cost of a cheap used car.

I had an 09 fusion SEL and I absolutely loved it. The seat adjustor broke (I’m fat), the radio buttons only worked from the steering wheel, and the windshield wipers regularly stopped working, but it was hands down the most reliable car I’ve owned since I swapped to a Camry.

I know you’re looking for a slightly newer one but I don’t think you can go wrong as long as it has a good service history. I regularly got told how much cheaper it was for my parts vs other brands and models in the same category so I never complained about repair prices thankfully but I also never touched the local Ford Dealership for anything besides recalls.
