Lots of bang for the buck!

2018 Ford Fusion Titanium 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Checked out all competition after purchasing a 2010 Fusion Hybrid new. Loved that car and was looking for upgrade in age, technology, and pazzaz. Came upon a Titanium AWD and only looked back at the competition. This Fusion is a fine car with great appointments and drives even better than our older Hybrid. The seats and driving position have improved as well as the infotainment … offerings. Maps with navigation are outdated (naturally) but who doesn’t use their phone anyway? Haven’t had need for AWD yet, but will be more confident going into next winter as we get lots of snow. I really like the car and wanted to get one before they stopped making sedans!

2018 Ford Fusion Titanium 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
We purchased this Fusion Titanium as a Certified Used Car as a vehicle primarily for my wife to drive. We live in an area with slick winter roads so I was drawn to the AWD capabilities. After driving it for two winters I can say we made a fine decision as this car is even better on snowy roads than my SUV, it doesn’t have the clearance, but the traction is superior. My wife loves the … interior including the sky-roof and heated 8 way power seats. We have had limited highway driving lately due to Covid 19. The mileage in small town driving has dropped to about 23 mpg, but on the infrequent road trips it always delivers 33+ mpg at 65-70 mph. This is a very nice handling, comfortable and so far reliable vehicle that I would highly recommend to anyone. The AWD is seamless and really provides great traction with winter driving.
A little iffy

Which Fusion does Edmunds recommend?
The 2018 Ford Fusion offers a wide range of trim levels and features, but we think the Fusion SE with one of the optional engine upgrades is a good start for most buyers. The optional 1.5-liter engine offers a slight increase in power over the standard 2.5-liter engine along with improved mileage. For even more punch, there's the optional 2.0-liter engine, which can also be paired with all-wheel drive. One additional option worth considering is the Technology package with Sync 3. It gives you Ford's latest, most user-friendly technology interface that includes numerous useful features.

Driving
7.5The Fusion isn't as dynamically impressive as it once was, but it's still a likable car that puts up some solid numbers in braking and handling. Not many cars in this segment are focused on driving enjoyment, but the Fusion remains entertaining despite lackluster acceleration.
Comfort
8.0Though the Fusion has some minor issues with comfort, they're relatively easy to forgive. The ride is generally smooth on the highway, road noise is kept to a minimum, and the front seats are a particularly nice place to sit, even for hours at a time.
Interior
8.0Almost everyone should find the Fusion's interior pleasant and accommodating. It's easy to get in and out of, the driving position is nicely adjustable, and the cabin offers a good amount of space. Tall passengers might take issue with the sloping rear roofline when getting into the backseat.
Utility
8.5A large trunk and plenty of cabin storage for small items make the Fusion good for storing lots of your stuff on a daily basis or for family road trips.
Technology
8.5With the new Sync 3 infotainment system and the advent of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Ford Fusion is one of the more approachable and tech-friendly vehicles on the market. It's easy to connect devices, execute voice commands or navigate to a destination without a steep learning curve.
