2010 Ford Fusion Sport
Like all the vehicles on this list, the 2010 Ford Fusion Sport is fun to drive yet easy to live with as a daily driver.

The days when new test cars arrive at our office are always exciting. It doesn’t matter if we’re getting a $16,000 subcompact sedan or a $60,000 premium sporty/performance coupe. We’re always looking forward to putting a manufacturer’s latest product through its paces.

We fully understand that it might be different for those of you who are in the market for a new ride. If you need a midsize family sedan, a pickup truck, or a versatile hatchback, you might feel your choices are too mundane.

Fear not. We’ve put together a list of some vehicles that are fun to drive, yet surprisingly sensible. These are hidden gems--products that offer more spice than their mainstream siblings. Take a look at these cars if you want a ride that offers some zag to go with its zig.
