Ford Fusion
Overall Average Rating - 83.39%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 81st
THE supermini-SUV was never a big hit in showrooms, but the boxy Fusion is impressively cheap to run, while its high roof and big cabin are practical. However, you told us that the Ford is a letdown elsewhere.
Only five cars scored worse for build quality and performance, while a position of 90th in the ride category shows that Ford hasn’t pulled off its usual suspension magic.

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 21st)
Having made progress in 2008, Ford has dropped back again this year. It’s 12 places higher than rival Vauxhall, and its cars are rated for practicality and handling. Yet owners’ main gripe is reliability.
