Both Durac engines feature alu- minum construction, dual-overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, intake variable-cam timing and electronie throttle control. The 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine makes 160 hp @6250 rpm and 156 lb- fî of torque @ 4250 rpmn. Fuel economy is rated ai 10. 1 L6.91J OOkm (city/hwy). The four-banger comnes with a standard 5-speed manual or, for $1,200 more, an optional 5-speed auto- matie transaxie. I've driven the 2.3-litre version before. Il pulls with acceptable oomphi, is priced about $2.000 less than the V6 (or even befter witlh the manual) and will save you a dollar and change in fuel every 100 kilometres. But for more power and passing confidence, the 3.0-litre V-6 harnesses 221 hp @ 6250 rpm and 205 lb/ft of torque @ 4800 rpm. Power is îranslated through an advanced 6-speed autoînat- ic transaxie, one of the hirsî in ils class. Fuel economy is ratcd ai Il .7[1/7.7lilOOkm (citylhwy). Yes, there is a dîfference in driving power with the V6, an engine that also ailows for a match up with the Fusions latest dynamic option, an AWVD system that was tuned with a piedformance platiorm, shaîed with the Mazdab.
