The 2015 Ford Fusion's basest model costs a little more than its competitors, and it can become legitimately pricey as you climb in trim levels.
The Nissan Altima is the price-leader in the group–offering all the necessary equipment and a comfortable ride, even at its cheapest.
The Hyundai Sonata is all-new for this year, and has grown more refined in design and features, not unlike the Fusion.
The Kia Optima also offers excellent value, attractive design, and a spacious rear seat.
The Chevy Malibu drives well if you choose the right tires and wheels, and it's attractive inside, too.
However, the rear seat is cramped, and gas mileage is low for the segment.
The Honda Accord offers good driving dynamics, a reputation for reliability, and an excellent infotainment system.
The Mazda6 is as attractive as the Ford Fusion, costs less, and drives better.
However, you can't dress the Mazda6 up quite as far as the Fusion Titanium model, leaving shoppers to choose between price and technology here.
