2006 Ford Fusion Road Test Ratings

A solid American sedan that is enjoyable to drive, with a roomy, comfortable interior.

The most European-feeling American sedan in a long time. Firm and direct steering compliments a well-balanced chassis. The engine makes reasonable power, but is a bit raucous.

The well damped European-style chassis doesn't float and doesn't punish either.

Logical placement of the most important controls, but there are way too many similar-looking buttons.

The exterior design looks different from most of the competition, but certain interior elements look dated, straight out of the parts bin.
