Review of Ford Fusion 2008 - Solid Midsize Sedan
By admin On May 31st, 2008What you would need in your midsize car? Comfortable ride, nice looks, capable handling and good value, isn’t it? The 2008 Ford Fusion is a terrific choice among midsize sedans and should be given attention to.
The Fusion is available with a choice of V6 and four-cylinder engines. The four-cylinder comes with a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission. The V6 comes with a six-speed automatic, a feature associated with top-end luxury cars. Both engines provide adequate power and fuel economy though they are outperformed by the engines offered by several competitors.
Fusion’s ride quality is as good as any car in the class, compared to the Toyota Camry. Available all-wheel drive and a new sport package make fine handling even better.
The cabin is comfortable and well designed with controls that are intuitive and easy to operate. The center dash is not that attractive [at least it's not for me] however, and the interior looks classier in the lighter colors but ofcourse your choice matter here when it comes down to interior colors.
The Fusion gives a distinctive and attractive appearance because of the crisp lines, big headlights and bold, chrome grille.
