We also tested the Ford car and compared our observations, to offer our expert opinion along with those recommendations. |

There’s plenty to like about the 2008 Ford Fusion. It shares its mid-size platform with the Mazda6, but it’s a very different looking machine. It also gets a distinct interior, and a slightly narrower range of transmission choices. It comes with front- or all-wheel drive, four- and six-cylinder engines, and manual and automatic gearboxes.
It’s still one of the better-handling family sedans on the market, and one of the better-looking ones from Ford. Car shoppers should note its fuel economy isn’t as good as some family four-doors with better interior room, and the V-6 version doesn’t offer a manual shifter option.
