My mom is needing/wanting a new car and it has apparently come down to Fusion or small chance escape. There is no other choice but Ford (stepdad retired from Ford and they will be on A plan with zero interest). My mom could afford to pay cash but wants to keep funds available (they are retired). My mom keeps cars minimum ten years. Which engine in Fusion? Will a turbo be less reliable inherently after warranty? Her current car is 2000 mustang v 6 with 175k owned since new. Small fords are out as she wants room for grand kids. Thoughts?
