We had an old Rav4 that was literally falling apart and we knew that we needed to find a new vehicle that would last a few years with our family. We have two kids and really wanted a nice big sedan or a small SUV. We went to our local dealership and found a beautiful Ford Fusion, which was right in our price range. The car is really roomy and can easily fit two or three car seats in the back. The seats are incredibly comfortable, and there is plenty of room to have a couple extra dogs as well. The trunk is very big and spacious, and the car just looks really nice. The car has a lot of pep and really has a lot of "get up and go." The car has excellent gas mileage and has taken us on many road trips without any issue. This is by far the best vehicle that I have ever owned.

The 2013 Ford Fusion is a serviceable Sedan. While it looks nice and powerful from the outside, when your driving it, you'll feel like the engine really has to work to pull the car along, which can sometimes be a problem when getting going from a stop sign. That said, it has Microsoft Sync, which is a nice convenience and is nice and roomy. It also has good gas mileage and simply gets you where you need to go with little problems, so it makes a nice commuter or family car. It also gets by surprisingly well in the snow. It only has two-wheel drive, and I only have all-season tires, but I've driving it a lot in very snowy, icy conditions and haven't had very many problems at all. That said, to be honest, there are probably other cars in this price-range that do a lot better in most categories; however, if you are looking for something American-made, this is a good place to start.
