Need AWD traction without an SUV attached? Here are 10 great choices.
2010 Ford Fusion
If all-wheel drive is what you seek, but you still associate station wagons with memories of grandma's Vista Cruiser, then an all-wheel-drive sedan may fit the bill. There are numerous all-wheel-drive sedans out there, with two choice models coming from Ford. The first is the 2010 Ford Fusion. Fetchingly redesigned for the 2010 model year, the Fusion offers up a V6 and all-wheel drive in SEL and Sport models, and a big-for-the-class 16.2 cu.-ft. trunk. It also has a newly redesigned interior that offers Ford's excellent Sync in-car navigation/phone integration/music player system. All-wheel drive isn't available with the four-cylinder, so prices start in the $27,000 range, which is still a good deal for a slick-driving all-wheel-drive sedan.
