What does it cost?
For The 1.6 brings extra power over the 1.4, but with little penalty in economy, while Titanium trim is the most lavish in the Fusion.
Against The 1.6 is far from smooth at high revs - which is where it has to spend much of its time. Plus - and especially with Titanium trim, it costs too much more than the 1.4-eninged model.
What Car? says
There's no doubting the benefits of the 1.6 engine over the 1.4, but the extra it costs (especially with Titanium trim) is enough to persuade us that the smaller engine is the better buy.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
With the arrival of the latest and the B-Max MPV the Ford Fusion is looking and feeling distinctly old-fashioned. We would recommend you hold on to your cash until the new car reaches the showrooms, but if you must have a Fusion, insist on a major discount – well into four figures.
You shouldn’t spend too much on a Fusion in the first place, so our favourite version is the 1.4 Zetec – the cheapest model in the range.
And, before you sign on the dotted line, don’t forget to check out the Promotions section on Ford’s own website, where you can find details of things like special edition models and low-rate finance.
