Reviews Summary

Mazda is faced with unique challenges because it operates without the benefit of an upscale brother brand. When a Toyota buyer wants a little extra, she can look to Lexus. Nissan has Infinity, and Volkswagen has Audi. But Mazda has to work alone to carve out its own share of the luxury car industry. That means a single model often has to offer value at the low end and luxury at the high end. With a slight redesign, a new Signature trim, and the addition of the turbocharged 2.5-liter engine from the CX-9, the Mazda6 can finally fill the more expensive end of that bill.

Reviews Summary

Want a basic but stylish car? How about a hybrid, or even a plug-in hybrid? What about an undeniably luxurious sedan, or a genuine sports sedan? The 2018 Ford Fusion lineup has them all, ranging in price from just over $22,000 all the way up to just under $44,000.
