This is one of those very rare occasions when C&D and Consumer Reports are of the same opinion!!!

I’d go with the Fusion. The 5~6k you save from the Accord/Camry will pay for a lot of repairs, should it need them. It will also probably be cheaper in the long run. I know of a few on this board who have chosen to go with a less expensive Domestic model and the cost savings has paid off for them in the long haul.
