TCC’s Bottom Line

The Chrysler 200 offers lots of comfort and value, but looks outdated and lacks refinement.

The 2014 Ford Fusion has stunning good looks, satisfying performance, and top-notch safety and fuel economy--all without skimping on the interior space and ride comfort that really means something to mid-size sedan shoppers.

TCC Likes

Cockpit is nicely detailed
V-6 engine is strong
Ride is quiet

Rock-star good looks
Great cabin design
Taut, inspired handling

TCC Dislikes

Four-cylinder, four-speed--for real?
Gas mileage isn't great
No standard Bluetooth

Just average back-seat room
You pay a premium for the best mpg
Gloss plastic interior trim
