The 2001 Ford Fusion is a decent car with a comfortable and confident ride that makes it perfectly suited for everyday driving. The standard engine is lacking, but several turbocharged options are available that provide more power. The Fusion’s fuel economy, however, will likely be among the worst in the class, so be prepared to fill up more often than you would with other cars. The Fusion's interior is spacious and comfortable, and it has a bigger trunk than most of its rivals. While it's sparse on standard features, the Fusion's optional touchscreen infotainment system works well and features cool functions like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. High-quality materials adorn the cabin, especially in higher trims, but there are still some low-rent surfaces in most Fusion models.

Small economy minded car. Good on gas. Lower crash safety rating due to it being a compact car.
