No matter how you slice it, there sure is an awful lot to appreciate about our beloved American brand's midsize sedan, the 2017 Fusion. Here at Wickstrom Ford, it's a consistent fan favorite among shoppers and staffers alike.

Yet, what is it -- specifically -- that makes it so?

AutoGuide.com Managing Editor Jodi Lai is here to supply you with the most pertinent information. Ride along with her in the clip below:

The value of the Fusion's base model -- the feature-rich S -- quite simply cannot be overstated.

Standard equipment on this trim includes 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, LED taillamps, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a rearview camera, the SYNC infotainment platform, voice-command functionality, smartphone app integration, Bluetooth connectivity and a four-speaker sound system, complete with a CD player, an auxiliary audio input and a USB port.

So, what's the hold-up, faithful friend? The time is now to experience the brilliance of this beaut. As such, we invite you to pop by our Barrington, IL facility, whereupon we'll happily arrange a test drive in the Fusion, or any other Ford model that's corralled your curiosity.
