The Matrix price represents good value for the features and quality.
2004 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
Lease payments were very low.
2004 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
In the summer of 2007, I bought this car from a Lincoln-Mercury dealership that had taken it in trade - for $8,995. The car was (and still is) in excellent condition.
2003 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
It was pretty cheap to buy - $8000.
2003 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Climate control & stereo system in base model. Rear wipers and defrost should be standard. Rear window becomes translucent with heavy rain or snow, which can be cleared easily by 1-3 wiper cycles.
2003 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD
The Matrix was an affordable car. At the time, there were very few options under $20k that met all our needs.

2009 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD
Price was $3000 more than the Elantra after the options were added.
2009 4dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
Price was a little higher than I wanted but i guess you pay more for quality.

Brand new, V6 for under 20,000, whats not to love about that?
2008 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6

2008 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD
Mid-model is well appointed at a reasonable sales price.

Reasonably priced.
2007 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4

2007 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4

Found a reputable dealer that could sell me one for about $2,000 less then any other dealer around me for the same vehicle. The price made the difference.
2007 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic AWD
Best bang for your buck
2007 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6

Got this car used for $10,500, well below Blue Book value. Even at list prices the car is a good deal for the money.
2006 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD
For everything you get in a Fusion, the prices are dirt cheap.
2006 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4

For the price a nice car. Only if you drive it where there are no wet/snowy roads.
Price of the Ford Fusion: Cons

2011 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
10K more than a base Fusion.
2010 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
At list price this car offered very little the Prius did not, at a much higher cost
2009 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Payments would have been a bit over my budget for the four-cylinder; out-of-reach for the six (no manual, either, so no sale!)
