The competition is steep in the mid-size sedan market.
The Hyundai Sonata gets great gas mileage, performs well, and offers a lot of features for the money.
The Kia Optima is built on the same platform, but feels a little sportier, a little more European.
The Honda Accord remains one of the most refined, upscale vehicles in the bunch, with option of either a four-cylinder or fuel-efficient V-6.
It's the Ford Fusion that feels like a legitimate premium sedan, though–especially with either of the two EcoBoost engines.
The Nissan Altima is more about comfort and value now than its sportier prior models.
There's also the Chevrolet Malibu, but its interior just isn't quite as spacious as the others.
