Replying to: jeffyscott (Sep 11, 2006 5:08 am) That's not the only strange thing about Ford's comparison. The only two advantages they give over the Sonata are lack of a leather interior option (which is available on the Sonata Limited, as a standard feature) and something about a split back seat. I've sat in both back seats and I have no idea what they are talking about. Both cars have 60/40 split folding back seats.   Also, Ford's review shows the list price of the Fusion to be less than that of a comparably equipped Sonata SE, yet Ford doesn't note that as an advantage.

Replying to: luvmbooty (Sep 10, 2006 8:00 am) Here in the Phoenix, AZ market, I found the Hyundai dealers much more willing to discount their Sonatas than the Ford dealers with their Fusions. If you watch the weekend sales in the auto section of the paper, you can routinely buy a base Sonata for around $14K. I did. Couple that with the Sonata's superior standard equipment and warranty, it makes sense to buy Korean. We now see Ford is extending their warranties for 2007 - ain't competition great!

Replying to: jeffyscott (Sep 10, 2006 8:43 am) The V6 sonata is as safe as a crown vic and 1CF more interior volume than the vic and get 19.9 mpg city and 31 mpg hwy. I have owned fords my entire life (still have 2 in the garage) untill i purchased my 06 sonata. My sonata now has 46,000 miles on it. I have zero regrets. I have the top trim level. and paid 17,500 out the door.

#16 of 29 2 great cars by scape2 Jan 13, 2007 (5:15 pm)
here folks. Value, both these cars scream value/quality/fit/finish for a very fair price. I test drove both when I shopped last year. For me it came down to styling. I wanted a vehicle with a bit more styling/character. This is a personal choice of what an individual likes in styling.
#17 of 29 Fusion/Milan/Sonata/Optima by csandste Jan 13, 2007 (9:30 pm)
These were my final four cars. Fusion/Milan may have had slightly better handling.   In the end it came down to price. I chose an Optima over the Sonata primarily on the basis of the dealership. Paid $16.1 with appearance group and leather. Had I gone with a V6, I would have bought the Sonata because of the superior engine-- the 2.7 Optima offered very little over the four. Found the Optima (and Sonata) four to be smoother than the Fusion/Milan and with the 50 series Michelins the handling is as good or better than the Ford twins.   The Optima shares the new Elantra platform. With struts up front it may be less sophisticated than the Sonata but I didn't notice anything major. Interior fit and finish and dash lighting (at least on the Kia--didn't drive the Sonata at night) were quite a bit better than the Fords.   If the prices were equal this would have been a hard choice, I thought the Milan and Fusion were both good cars.   If you're in the market for a four, the Optima should be shopped as an option. If you need the power of the six, the Sonata should be less expensive than the Fusion given similar levels of trim.

Michelins are standard on Fusion SEL.
