Ford's popular mid-size car has a trio of trims, and both gas and hybrid options.

However, the base S trim is paired with underwhelming 2.5L.

The Fusion Hybrid is available in only FWD, but SE and Titanium offer AWD.

SE and Titanium trims also have more luxury features than the underequipped S.

Titanium includes 18" wheels, leather seats, and 12-speaker stereo.

Luxurious trim comes with 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder in FWD or AWD.

A pre-owned gas or hybrid 2016 Fusion Titanium goes for around $18k, according to KBB.

The SE and Titanium are more than sufficient, but the S and Hybrid are underwhelming.

However, regardless of trim, a Fusion with turbocharged 2.0L provides the best experience.
