The Car Connection's Take

TCC Rating
7.2

8.2

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The Chrysler 200 offers lots of comfort and value, but looks outdated and lacks refinement.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. The 2014 Hyundai Sonata remains one of the best buys among mid-size sedans--although with so many much-improved rival models, it's no longer such a standout.
