2012 4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed automatic FWD
It's a tad bit tight in the drivers seat. I have to postion the seat just right to avoid hitting my right knee on the center console, and I frequently hit the light switch when getting out. I'm only 5'9", so not that large of a person. see full Ford Escape review

2011 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The front seats are very comfortable, and provide very adequate support for long trips. Side support isn't the very best for hard cornering though. see full Ford Fusion review
2010 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed automatic FWD
All passengers have commented about the generous space and overall comfort of the rear seat. see full Ford Fusion review

Controls are easily adjusted to fit any driver. Lateral support is good without feeling pinched into the seat. Dead pedal is perfectly positioned. see full Ford Fusion review
