The roofline should be a few inches higher, and the lower section of the centre stack should be narrower to provide more room for the right knee. see full Ford Fusion review

2009 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD
Fun to drive. see full Ford Fusion review
2009 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed automatic FWD
I am very happy w/ my fist 4cyl purchase. I is powerful and provides great economy. see full Ford Fusion review
2008 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD
The Duratec 30 V6 engine and 6-speed Aisin transmission are well integrated and the power/weight ratio (under 15 lbs/hp) is good for climbing the I-5 Grapevine. see full Ford Fusion review
2008 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD
Very responsive V6. Only real complaint might be the very quick upshift from first second gear. Cruise control held 6th gear and speed very well on moderate grades. see full Ford Fusion review

4cyl with power, but could always use a bit more see full Ford Fusion review

Smooth powerful engine, smooth shifting 6 speed transmission see full Ford Fusion review
2007 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD
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. see full Ford Fusion review
2007 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD
Handles and drives well on both straights and curves, in both the city and on the highway. see full Ford Fusion review
2007 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD
The 3.0L V6 with Variable valve timing is nice to begin with. When you need that little extra passing power this engine roars to life! The drive line was designed purfectly with ZERO Torque Steer! see full Ford Fusion review

My 1991 Honda Accord with a similar sized engine seems much more responsive. see full Ford Fusion review
2009 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4

Too little power for the weight of the vehicle (four cylinder, MTX-75). Sluggish acceleration from a stop. see full Ford Fusion review
2008 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD
Even with the 3.0L V6 the car still labors a bit going up freeway on ramps. 220-230hp is just not enough for a vehicle this size. 250-300hp would have been much better, but obviously fuel economy would be even worse than it is. see full Ford Fusion review
2008 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4

The I4 engine is a bit unrefined under load, but fine under cruising conditions. see full Ford Fusion review
2008 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6

Needs the 3.5L V6 to turn this car into a major grin factory. see full Ford Fusion review

Not reliable. Main computer failed, leaving me stranded. see full Ford Fusion review
2007 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4

When I test drove this car the sales man told me to floor it to feel the full performance... If there was any resemblance of performance it was the tachometer red lining and the car making lots of noise while getting no where fast. see full Ford Fusion review
2007 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD
A little short on power but gets decent mileage in return. Definitely not a sporty 4-cylinder but gets above 30mpg on the highway. see full Ford Fusion review
