One of the perks of my business is that we rent cars when we have meetings in Washington DC and beyond. I could say that I have test driven all makes and models. My latest car was a pure joy to drive. I drove a 2010 black Ford Fusion. I must say the Fusion was by far a tighter handler, great pick up speed, and averaged 24.8 mpg. The only downside was a weak stero system, most mid to full sized cars offered usually have satellite which makes a 8 hour trip somewhat interesting because you spend most of the subconsience time checking out the 200 channels. I rate the Ford Focus a 8+
