| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
cheaper than toyota or honda |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD |
Brand new, V6 for under 20,000, whats not to love about that? |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD |
Mid-model is well appointed at a reasonable sales price. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD |
Before options, vehicle MSRP was just over $22,000 for my particular model. Price was right in line with my budget. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Found a reputable dealer that could sell me one for about $2,000 less then any other dealer around me for the same vehicle. The price made the difference. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic AWD |
Best bang for your buck |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic AWD |
Got this car used for $10,500, well below Blue Book value. Even at list prices the car is a good deal for the money. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Reasonably priced. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Leased using Ford employee pricing. Nice car for a really nice price- only $225 a month (36 months). |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Low price for value. Low service costs. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Price was good |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Excellent value for the size of vehicle and space. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
For the price a nice car. Only if you drive it where there are no wet/snowy roads. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD |
For everything you get in a Fusion, the prices are dirt cheap. |
| Price of the Ford Fusion: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
10K more than a base Fusion. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
At list price this car offered very little the Prius did not, at a much higher cost |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Payments would have been a bit over my budget for the four-cylinder; out-of-reach for the six (no manual, either, so no sale!) |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
You can buy the base model out-the-door for under $27.5. Infiniti styling, Infiniti build quality, Infiniti performance. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The price is very attractive for all the features it offers you. |
