Would also like to add I realize you have a 4 cylinder; I thought the 2.5 was a V6. 2.5 is quite a big displacement for a 4 cylinder, but still the performance should be decent.

Thanks for the updates. I like your review, very detailed. I live in the UK and we have the Fusion here still badged as the Mondeo, classed as a large family car. Through its introduction in the 90s you could get the 4 cylinder version here as small as 1.6 or 1.8 litre. I have owned a few more modern 1.8 petrol, and even better 2.0 litre models of this car. I found the performance to be adequate, no fast car but not sluggish either (0-60 in 10 seconds and a top speed of about 120MPH).
Over here the V6 version is regarded as high performance (0-60 in 7 sec and top speed of 140MPH+) so my question is although you have an automatic, it should not make a drastic difference being a more modern car, I'd get the performance issue looked at (maybe compression is low?), no modern V6 should feel sluggish as you describe.
