I'm considering a Fusion. They are well built, from my test drive and a decent performance value. But.. They need to be a little bit better if possible. ABS brakes need to be standard and other features as well.
You will love the Fusion. My son has one (24) and loves it. We will have to turn it in when my husband retires, but we are thinking about buying it. Or else he will have to drive the junker Volvo.
