2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid SE Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh If you want the quickest Toyota Camry, you still want the 268-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine. But the hybrid, with a 156-horsepower 2.5-liter gas engine and a 141-horsepower electric motor combining to produce up to 200 horsepower, is easily quick enough to eradicate perceptions that Toyota's hybrids are slow. You can... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Fusion |

2014 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Once upon a time, an efficient car was also a slow car. Though a number of fairly quick hybrids and the ultra-quick Tesla Model S should have put this perception to bed by now, it's not quite dead yet. The Honda Accord Hybrid should help. Despite the loss of... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Fusion |

2015 Hyundai Sonata Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The 2011 Hyundai Sonata burst onto the midsize sedan scene with segment-leading power ratings. The 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine was good for 198 horsepower (200 in SE trim). The turbocharged 2.0-liter for 274. A funny thing has happened with the 2015 redesign: the peak power outputs of these engines... Comparison vehicle: 2014 Ford Fusion |

2015 Chrysler 200 Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh With a base curb weight of 3,473 pounds, the 2015 Chrysler 200 is the heaviest car in the midsize sedan class. Add the V6 and all-wheel-drive, and it weighs nearly two tons--very heavy for a mainstream midsize sedan. Luckily the 3.6-liter V6 is the strongest engine in the class,...

2014 Mazda6 Sport Review (manual transmission) Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Mazda6's 184-horsepower naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine can't go toe-to-toe with competitors' boosted fours and V6s. But compared to their base, efficiency-oriented engines, Mazda's new SKYACTIV 2.5 feels energetic and voices a satisfying snarl when revved. Acceleration roughly splits the difference between the quicker Honda and the slower Ford. ... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Fusion |

2013 Kia Optima SXL Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Kia Optima SXL's 274-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine is among the strongest in the segment. Despite the use of boost, the power flows smoothly and linearly, without the surges and lags that often plague turbocharged engines at part throttle. Go full throttle to the redline, and the engine also... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Fusion |

One Beautiful Well Made Car 2013 Ford Fusion Pros and Cons Member5679 The standard 2.5L 4cyl is more that powerful enough for me. This is the second car I have owned with this engine and have had no problem then or now. Engine is slightly noisy under medium to hard acceleration but is otherwise quiet at all speeds. The 6spd automatic shifts... |

2014 Mazda6 Grand Touring Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Efficiency at the expense of performance wouldn't pass muster with driving enthusiasts. The biggest surprise with the Mazda6 is how well the naturally-aspirated four performs. No, it can't go toe-to-toe with competitors' boosted fours and V6s. But compared to their base, efficiency-oriented engines, Mazda's new SKYACTIV 2.5 feels energetic and... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Fusion |

Love my Fusion! 2011 Ford Fusion Pros and Cons Member5563 The transmission in this car is a nightmare of unpredictability. It's very obvious that the machine itself is sound, but the electronic control and programming, as well as its adaptive features are a bit under-engineered. I've had the transmission controller re-flashed with the latest Ford has available for this transmission,... |

2013 Honda Accord EX-L Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh You can opt for a 278-horsepower 3.5-liter V6. But the new 185-horsepower "Earth Dreams" 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, Honda's first with direct injection, performs so well that few people will feel the need. The transmission deserves much of the credit. It's a CVT (continuously variable transmission), but avoids the odd "rubber... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Fusion |

2013 Nissan Altima 2.5 SV Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Aided by the sedan's relatively low weight, the short initial ratio of the CVT, and the ability of this transmission to hold the engine right at its 6,000-rpm power peak, the Altima's 182-horsepower 2.5-liter engines feels quick for a non-turbo four-cylinder. Nissan claims that an independent testing company (sponsored by... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Fusion |

2013 Ford Fusion Titanium Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The new Fusion's most powerful engine (until a future high-performance variant arrives), the Titanium's 2.0-liter turbo, has a peak output of "only" 240 horsepower, 40 short of the segment leader, the Passat V6. Like other fours, it also doesn't sound as sweet as a good six. In its defense, this... Comparison vehicle: 2012 Volkswagen Passat |

2010 Ford Fusion Pros and Cons Member5346 The thing I like the most on the FFH is the powertrain and the great mix of performance and economy which it delivers. I had an acceleration contest from around 10 mph with a co-worker in his Lincoln MKZ and the Hybrid was ahead until 70 when I let off... |

2010 Ford Fusion Pros and Cons Member5170 Awkward shifting transmission in manual mode as well as auto, especially when going from 2d to third (tends to pop into neutral as the revs pick up in second, then jumps into third); too slow to shift between gears, too quick to select first gear. |

2007 Ford Fusion Pros and Cons Member4277 The V6 and 6-speed automatic are as close to perfect as you could imagine. The car seems to always be in the right gear and the right time. I think it can read my mind. |
