When it comes to looking for a midsize sedan that combines good looks with excellent value, a car shopper can do no wrong when they look into purchasing the 2009 Ford Fusion. The Ford Fusion has a reputation for meeting and exceeding the expectations of car lovers every where. The car has all that is needed to insure that the new car owner and all the passengers they are in charge of driving will be both safe and comfortable at the very same time.
When it comes to power options, the 2009 Ford Fusion is sold with both a 4-cylinder 2.3 liter 160 horsepower engine as well as a 3.0 liter V-6 alternative that puts out a healthy 221 horsepower. Both engines come with manual and automatic transmission options depending on what the buyer prefers. The benefit of the smaller engine is that it allows the owner to take advantage of decent gas mileage, 22 miles per gallon in the city and 30 miles per gallon on the highway. The lack of power is noticeable, but is a common trade-off for the better fuel efficiency. The V-6 option possesses more than enough power to get the Ford Fusion through any situation that may arise.

There are also many small storage locations found throughout the interior of the car including on the back of the seats, in the doors, in the dashboard, and in the center console area. The seats themselves are incredibly comfortable but are very supportive at the very same time.
