2008 Ford Fusion Review
Overview
Nothing else resembles it. Nothing else responds like it. Ford FUSION. On Fusion S SE and SEL get in gear with a fuel-efficient 160 horse power Duratec 4-cylinder engine that achieves 29 miles per gallon highway and a range of 467 miles on a full tank of gas. Step it up to the 221horse power Duratec V6 that works in tune with a first-in-class 6-speed automatic. Feel pampered every day you drive a Fusion especially if yours is enriched with the all- new ambient lighting option. Fusion’s versatility borders on boundless. Flip and fold the seating to accommodate accordingly. Drop off the goods and you’re all ready for a good time out with 4 friends. Add voice activated navigation and Sirius satellite radio and you are good to go. Fusion is fully armed with the latest technology to resist absorb and divert the force of an impact. Proof: The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave Fusion the highest protection ratings in frontal offset and side-impact crash testing. The Ford Fusion ready to handle any driver!
