I looked at an 09 Fusion a few weeks ago. I like the styling and practicality of having four doors. As mentioned, you can get a 4cyl if thats what is in your proce range.

I decided against it for two reasons: 1) I admit to being a Pontiac fanboy (yeah, I know) so I would stick with GM for the next car. Having said that, I still went to see the Fusion and liked it. 2) As a family man myself, I need a sedan for the daily driver to haul kids and equipment around. Since I have several people in the car with me on weekends, I want more power than I have now - a 4cyl Camry. Hearing the car rev high under load sounds like the car is straining. So the next car needs to be a 6cyl at least.

If the next car is just a daily driver for one or two people, the Fusion may be a great choice. Personally I would go with at least a 6cyl though.
