The 2017 Ford Fusion has an overall suitability score of 57 out of 100 for a first car, with a high confidence level in the scoring due to 90% of the weight being backed by data. The safety factor is a strong point for this vehicle, scoring 90 out of 100, which corresponds to an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This indicates a high level of safety, which is often a significant consideration for first-time car buyers.

However, the vehicle's reliability index is notably low at 21 out of 100, influenced by 1109 complaints on record with the NHTSA, which may suggest potential reliability concerns. Additionally, the recall risk is moderate, scoring 43 out of 100, with four recalls noted. Unfortunately, there is no available data on the fuel economy for this model, as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fuel-economy data is not provided. These factors collectively contribute to the overall suitability score, offering a mixed perspective on the vehicle's appropriateness as a first car.
