Areas for improvement: Bolstered seats may be a bit narrow for most Americans.
Our Fusion is the base S model, and it is a terrific car for the money. The ride/handling compromise is just right, and the powerful brakes have excellent pedal feel. The body is very solid and it is quiet at speed for a mid-priced sedan. I was concerned that the 4 cylinder with automatic would be underpowered, but it revs freely and is just fine for a family car. Plus, the 4 gets respectable mileage and its light weight contributes to the nimble handling. Some of the magazines quibble about the 5 speed automatic, but I don't know how it could be much better.

Ford did very well with this car. It is comfortable, quick, and economical.
Handles well, with quick steering, sharp acceleration response.
I'm averaging 29.8mpg, which is pretty decent for a mid sized car.
If you are in the market for this type of car, definitely check out the Fusion because it is a car that could fit anyone from teens like myself to baby boomer's. I just hope Ford can wow us with the 09 Fusions because they are going to have some serious competition in Europw. Pretty sweet lookin car if you ask me.
