Sporty sedan rivals include the Mazda6 GT-I4 ($35,790 loaded), the Nissan Altima 2.5 SL ($33,898 loaded), the Suzuki Kizashi SX ($30,495), the Kia Optima EX with navigation ($32,095) and the soon-to-arrive 2012 Volkswagen Passat.
We shouldn’t be surprised that the Fusion is selling so well. In the first half of 2011, the Ford was the bestselling mid-size sedan in Canada, edging out the Hyundai Sonata in 2nd place. As we said earlier, with so many Fusion choices, shoppers can spec out one that suits their needs and budget, and they get a darn good car in the deal.
There may be roomier, sportier, better-finished or more fuel-efficient alternatives, but when we round up all of the Fusion’s virtues, we think it’s still a player. Maybe more than it ever has been.
