2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid Sedan is fun to drive and one problem I do find is all the time spent looking at the dash and displays instead of the road. Lots of eye candy. The car has more than enough passing power and zip. It has the best 4 cylinder engine on the market and when you add in the extra electric HP it can more. You won't even realize it's a hybrid until you go to fill up with gas. I average 36 mpg driving a combination of city, highway and suburbs.
Taller drivers might not find enough leg room for their liking and heavier one might find the seats to conforming. Anyone six foot and 230 lbs or under will love the driving experience. Also when wearing boots, my right foot will sometimes touch the break when I step on the gas. Those with normal to smaller feet won't have to worry.
I like the new front, but the back could have been sportier looking. I looked at hybrid for the last year debating to buy one, after a 10 minute test drive I was sold. Ford should be putting out more advertising, this is the best car they have ever made and the other car companies are going to be scrambling to catch up. A good American alternate to the influx of foreign cars.
