The midsize sedan segment is a hot, competitive one with many entrants vying to generate bloated sales figures. The Ford Fusion does a convincing job of winning me over. Perhaps the best aspect of the Fusion is how seamless the riding experience is. Driving long distances is a cinch with the Fusion's pleasant balance of noise levels, ride comfort and interior space. That's not to say the Fusion is especially impressive in any of those areas. The tires over the typical whine over grooved pavement, and wind noise from the side windows could be suppressed better. The suspension is steady and controlled, yet it doesn't blow the passengers away in terms of isolation; bumps are felt somewhat acutely.
