2009 Ford Fusion SEL 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A)
I bought this car to replace a foreign sports sedan, and had a bit of trepidation because of that. However, the car has great pickup, handles well, and is extremely comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised about the amount of room inside - it is much bigger than it looks. The "SEL" series has enough luxury touches to make this seem like a much more expensive car. The only negative is that gas mileage (with the 6 cylinder engine) is not great - I average about 17 city, 21 mixed, 24 highway (although I've been told I have a lead foot)
Quietness, pickup, and handling are all good.
My car doesn't have a passenger side power seat. I don't think that was an option on the 2009. I would prefer to have that.
