My preference, budget willing, would be the MKZ over the Fusion Sport. It takes everything that's good about the Fusion and makes it just that much better. Naturally, you pay for the privilege, but there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Fusion Sport and MKZ offer sporty variations on a mid-sized them
One is the sportiest version of Ford's mainstream mid-size sedan, while the other's Lincoln's variation on the theme. So, when it comes to a choice between the Fusion Sport and the Lincoln MKZ, which is the better car?
Waffle time (syrup, anyone?)! As is so often the case, the answer is a clear "it depends." Mostly, it depends on your budget, I suppose, because the loaded Ford Fusion sport Ford loaned me to wring out for a week is priced at $42,388 (sans taxes, etc.) while the MKZ stickered for $59,300. That's a pretty big spread for what beneath the surface are two cars who share a lot of their DNA.
