The suspension and steering strikes a nice balance between the soft Toyota Camry and the sportier Mazda6. The road bumps are easily swallowed by the car and silences most of the disturbances from terrain. The car holds a poise of its own and that will appeal to those who like the dynamics of Ford Fusion.
