I’ve loved the Fusion since the first time I tested it a few years ago. It has great exterior and interior styling, tons of interior room and plenty of leg room for taller adults in the rear seats. I love that Ford offers so many variations of the Fusion ranging from the base front-wheel-drive versions to my favorite hybrid, the Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid, to the very fast and very sporty Fusion Sport.
If you’re in the market for a full-sized family sedan you should definitely put the Ford Fusion on your shopping list.
