The FORD FUSION (2002-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 TDCI 90 2 is a five-door hatchback with a taller, more upright shape than many small cars. In the UK used-car market, it sits between a city car and a compact car, prioritising easy access, practical space and straightforward motoring rather than style. This 1.6 TDCi diesel version suits regular commuters, small families and drivers wanting a useful, easy-to-enter car; its raised seating and roomy cabin make daily trips less awkward. Compared with similarly aged superminis, the Fusion feels more spacious and practical, while remaining compact enough for town streets and parking spaces. mycarcheck.com records 13 checks across eight VINs, a modest sample.
