Sorta the same thing that happened with the Camaro for me. That visibility sucks, though the Fusion was, possibly, even worse for me.

I tried to look at Hyundai, but they didn't have anything in stock to try that interested me. I may have to revisit that at another dealership - thanks tip! I haven't hit honda yet, either - I'll look at the Accord.

I had forgotten that part about the Mustang. Been comparing it to the Camaro so long they are starting to blend, since the Camaro changed so little between the years. Good thought, then - definitely 2011 if I go for it.

Thanks again for the feedback.
Yea I am around 6 ft and had no issues. Did the model you tested have power seats? Did you try raising the seat height to give you a better view? I also know there is an optional rear camera with the nav package on the fusion.
