Luxury Features of the Ford Fusion and Vauxhall MerivaAnyone looking to purchase a new vehicle should do a little comparison shopping before making a decision on the vehicle they settle on. By comparing vehicles, it allows you to get the best vehicle for you money and the best value when operating it. This is only an example of the ways to compare vehicles when you are shopping. The Ford Fusion has undergone a few changes in the past couple of years. They have always offered antilock brakes and driver side airbags but now that offer even more. They give you stability control in the steering box. All Ford Fusions come with standard front-seat side airbags and side curtain airbags. In addition to this safety feature the Ford Fusion offers a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 175 hp and 172 pound-feet of torque. Combined with the 6-speed manual transmission this provides you with 30 mpg on the highway. You can opt for the 6-speed automatic transmission but the mpg is reduced with this option. The sport model gets less mpg than the basic model because of the 3.5-liter V6 that generates 263 hp and 249 lb-ft of torque. Front wheel drive is standard on all 4-cylinder models and sport models but all-wheel drive is optional on the sport model. The Vauxhall Meriva offers you much more in terms of options and safety. There are actually four models of Vauxhall Meriva to choose from; Expression, Life, Club and Design. Each one features ABS system, FlexSpace flexible rear seats, twin front airbags, rear seat head restraints and lap/diagonal rear seatbelts. They also all have an engine deadlock immobilizer with remote control central deadlocking. The Meriva Life features all of this plus electric front windows with safety auto-reverse and one-touch facility and steering wheel mounted audio controls. The Meriva Club features this along with air conditioning, rear passenger foot wells and front passenger under seat storage tray. Finally the Vauxhall Meriva Design offers all of the other features from the other models along with a tilt steering wheel, cruise control, tinted windows, electric rear windows, twin electric sunroofs and front fog lights with chrome-effect surrounds. |
