The 2011 Ford Fusion comes in a standard, hybrid and sport model. Deciding which Ford Fusion you want requires an understanding of the available amenities and differences between the different Fusion trims. You must think about what you want in a car: a low price, fuel economy or a powerful engine. Also, you will want to consider what upgrades you are willing to pay for.

    Consider the standard Ford Fusion if you want the lowest priced model. It offers a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine and gets 23 miles per gallon in the city and 33 mpg on the highway, according to Ford's website. You will get a six-speed manual transmission, an AM/FM radio with CD player, MP3 capability and four speakers. The car also has six airbags.

    Examine the hybrid Fusion if you are willing to pay more for the car, but want to spend less on gas. The hybrid is costs about $8,000 more than the standard Fusion. The car gets 36 to 41 mpg and comes standard with an automatic transmission. Standard features in this model include MyKey technology, which allows parents to program a key for their teens that limits the speed of the car to 80 mph. The key also limits the volume of the stereo so teens don't drive distracted.

    Test-drive the sport-model Fusion if you are looking for more power under the hood. The sport offers a 3.5-liter, V-6 engine and a six-speed manual transmission. (An automatic is also available as an upgrade.) Without any extra features, this model is cheaper than the hybrid, but only gets 18 to 27 mpg. Like the standard and hybrid models, this car comes with the standard stereo, the MyKey feature and six airbags. For about an extra $1,000, you can upgrade the car with a moon roof and Sony stereo system.
