Edmunds thinks the Fusion handles well

Found this while reading up on some options I didn't realize I had in my own car.

 

Edmunds seems to suggest the same thing that I 'felt' after driving 3 other mid-size cars(Honda S, Passat, Sonata) to compare then getting into the Fusion. It handles the best and 'feels' the road best.

Driving Impressions

Within the crowded segment of domestic midsize sedans, we had always complimented the Fusion for the most European-flavored driving experience. The 2013 Ford Fusion raises the bar even higher, combining a comfortable and controlled ride with engaging handling.

Electric-assist power steering now comes standard on all Fusion models. While we've typically found these systems notably lacking in feel, the Fusion's example proves remarkably communicative, and it's one of the better versions of this new industry-wide trend. This sedan is confident and composed when cornering, and very much at the top of its class. The Fusion is also remarkably quiet on the highway.

Rides on rails is the best way to describe it, you turn that wheel and the car follows along. Takes S curves at 60 that others can barely touch at 50. Gets into that curve and plants itself well. I have only driven the Hybrid, so dont know how much OOMPH the 2.0 EB has, but add some real giddy up to this car and you have something special.
