Just hit 330k miles on my 2014 Fusion. It’s been quite the journey with this car. Wondering if anyone else has hit numbers like this?
330k miles in 10 years? That’s a lot of driving. Do you commute a lot, or was it already at a high mileage when you got it?

It’s definitely possible. My busiest year had me driving 82,000 miles just between work, school, and home.
Before working from home, I was commuting 68 miles round trip, which added up to around 18k miles a year just for work. I know folks who had even longer commutes.
A lot of these Fusions rack up mileage as rideshare vehicles too. Since switching to remote work, my 2017 Fusion Sport has only 32,000 miles, and most of that came from the first few years.

I drive the same car but from 2015, and my commute is even longer.
@Angelina
Back in Texas, my round trip was 100 miles a day. I try to avoid long commutes now.

Wow, 100 miles daily? I’m the opposite. My office is a 10–12-minute walk from my place. Used to need a car for errands and coffee runs, but now everything’s within reach.
@Julia
Short commutes are nice, but my old job with a shorter drive had toxic coworkers. At least now I live closer to stores like Walmart.
@Angelina
Wait, did you mean 32,000 or 320,000 miles? Just double-checking. Even with your math, 330k still seems like a stretch unless you’re driving an average of 91 miles every single day.

@Angelina
In some European countries, that car would’ve had its mileage dialed back a couple of times and still be running fine at 100–120k miles.

I used to work as a contractor and racked up 140k miles in under 4 years. It’s not that far-fetched.

I got mine at 19k miles and managed to add 43k in less than two years. I just love road trips.
Couldn’t go one more mile for a cooler photo? Come on now.
That’s impressive, but seriously, what are you doing with your car to hit that?
Wow, I only have 192k on my 2014 SE.
What engine does it have?

Probably the 2.5.
Mine had 60k before the engine started leaking coolant. Still owe 10k on it. I hate Ford so much right now.

Mine lasted 240k before I sold it. My dad’s Fusion made it to 220k.
@Lola
That’s what I get for trusting the Ford dealership to handle it.
