Rental car, so it was a little beat up by the time I drove
it.  It was also a 4-cylinder, so a little loud.  Decent
interior space and trim.  Considerable improvement
over the last Ford I drove.  Ford saved some money in
the trunk -- little insulation and exposed innards.  I
would have liked a Mazda6 to compare head-to-head.  

There is so many things to talk about on my 2008 Ford Fusion.Lets start with performance.
I have the 4cyl model, which is very good on gas. The EPA rating is 22/28, although I tend to get 25/33 or better. The acceleration is competitive with other cars with a comparable engine size. Braking is a dream, enough said, and it handles like a sportscar.
The quality of the Fusion is outstanding. It was released by multiple oragnizations that Fords quality has met or surpassed Toyota in 2008. Nothing rattles, squeeks or anything like that.
The cars appearance is nice. It is a attractive looking sedan. It has very edgey styling so it isn't as boring as most sedans out there. My interior is all black leather, and is just beautiful.(smells great too)
There are so many neat features on my Fusion. All of my seats fold down flat; including the passanger seat. It is equipped with SYNC, all heating and cooling features are digital, there are storage areas everywhere in the car. I have a six disc cd player, 8 speakers, and two factory subs that are outstanding.6 cup holders, lots of room, usb ports, satilite radio, power seats, mirrors, windows, locks. There are lights under your side mirrors which is a nice touch, an auto dimming rearview mirror, and soo uch more.
Overall the car is alot of fun to drive. It is economical, practical and full of great features. I highly recommend my Ford, and look forward to purchasing my next Ford Model: )

Performance wise, the V6 producing 190hp is quite strong.  I came from a 06 Taurus that had no power at all.  The fusion is easy to accelerate in and gets up to speed in a hurry.

The interior is disgusting... it makes me think that a group of engineers all vomited inside a car and then sort of made jokes and how they could make it worse

The exterior reminds me of something a robot would think is cool, there is absolutely nothing inspiring about it's appearance.

The car is comfortable to drive... if you closed your eyes, you might actually think you were in a pretty nice car... however, there are issues associated with driving with your eyes closed.

It has decent performance levels, considering it is a 4 cylinder. With that comes pretty good gas mileage as well. Car looks awesome and the interior is also great. Half cloth half vinyl. Very comfortable. The only downfall is the noisy engine.

First it is great on gas, amazing to drive on the highway.
