The FordFusion comes in three models, imaginatively named 1, 2, and 3, however as the newness of the model wears off evocative names will be inevitably be invented in an attempt to sell more units.
Various engines are available for each of the three models but the subject of this review will be the Fusion 2 with a 1.4TDCi engine, for those out there who like to know what the letters mean. Turbo Diesel, Common Rail Fuel Injection.
