The FORD FUSION (2002-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 100 2 is a compact, five-door hatchback with a taller, more upright shape than many small family cars. It sits between a traditional supermini and a small people-carrier, offering easy access and a useful view of the road without the bulk of an SUV. In 334 mycarcheck.com look-ups, covering 204 distinct VINs, the average private-sale valuation was £500; recorded cars averaged 95,000 miles, 6,000 miles a year and about four previous keepers. These figures describe vehicles checked, not a guaranteed market price or condition, so inspect each example carefully and confirm its history. The 1.6-litre petrol engine suits town trips and occasional longer journeys, while the roomy cabin and high seating appeal to commuters, small families and anyone wanting easy access. Less fashionable than a Fiesta, the Ford Fusion stands out among superminis for practical space and an uncomplicated, comfortable everyday driving experience.
