Ford Fusion currently remains one of the top picks in the midsize sedan segment. There are four trim levels - S, SE, Sport and SEL - while offering the basic machine consists of four 2.5-liter (175 horsepower), an optional 3.0-liter V6 (240 hp) and, standard on Sport, 3.5 - liter V6 (263 hp). A six-speed manual transmission can be had at 2.5, while optional for that machine and standards on others is a six-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive is standard across the board with the exception of V6 SEL, which has all-wheel drive. The latter is optional on Sport.

Highlighting the standard features for the S include 16-inch alloy wheels, MyKey system (limit top speed and audio volume), full power accessories, air conditioning, and stereo with CD player and an additional audio jack. SE adds 17-inch alloys, foglamps, automatic headlights, eight-way power driver's seat and upgraded audio system with satellite radio.

These sports include sport-tuned suspension and steering setup, 18-inch wheels, exclusive style cues, electric front seats, leather seats and sound controls Sync multimedia interface. The Fusion SEL also features leather seats and heated seats, puddle lamps, keyless entry numeric pad and dual-zone automatic climate control. Options (depending on trim) include remote start, sunroof, rearview camera, reverse park assist, blind spot detection systems and navigation systems.

In review, we have remained impressed with the combination of Fusion responsive performance and balanced handling and ride dynamics. Inside the room there are a lot of quality material, and useful features. Sync System is a great feature, making it easy hands-free operation of mobile phones and portable MP3 players.
