Ford Fusion (02-12) - Review

Review by David Ross on
Last Updated: 16 December 2008
Borrowing the handling characteristics of the Fiesta - as well as adding more headroom and luggage capacity – the Fusion is a good choice for buyers who want a tidy little car with extra interior space. The Fusion offers a taller, more practical alternative with a higher roof, more upright seating position and a decent boot. It's not the best looking small car around however and another criticism is that the base model's lack of standard equipment is disappointing, whereas the top spec is brimming with an unnecessary level of gadgetry. There are some frugal engines offered too, but the 1.4 TDCi is very sluggish and best avoided.
