...with no noticeable changes from the 2008 version, so Ford kept 2008s in its test fleet.) The new Fusion has a much lighter feel all-around, which is a blessing for navigating parking garages. I found the center point a bit light on the highway; there was just a bit too much play in the wheel. But I still preferred the overall steering feel to the old model. Ride quality is also significantly improved in the new Fusion. It's worlds more comfortable now, with a ride that rivals the new Chevy Malibu without feeling as disconnected as the Toyota Camry. It's a nice tradeoff. I also found the 2010...

One of the more interesting graphical features available is an animated vine...

CarGurus' Review for 2011 ford fusion
Source: CarGurus

...Ford is very close to the bullseye with the 2011 Fusion.
While Honda and Toyota continue to set the pace in the family sedan market (with upstart Hyundai’s Sonata nipping at their heels),
consumers looking to buy American are no longer faced with the prospect of a cheaply made penalty box on wheels.
With a few more refinements (and either a wagon or hatchback version, please!), the Fusion may one day enable Ford to reclaim a position of leadership in the marketplace...
