 I currently own a 2011 Taurus and I was looking for another one.  Then I started seeing these Fusions on the road, I really love the way the front end looks. The rear could use some work though.  I only drive about 8 miles per day so it wasn't a huge sacrifice on comfort not getting a Taurus. So I bought a used 2014 w/1.5l eccoboost and it's very responsive, that was my main concern. It still is very comfortable for the size and has a nice quiet cabin.  Test drive one and see.
