I've driven the Fusion Hybrid and Sonata Hybrid as rentals (regular hybrid not PHEV) and they drive about the same. Both are very large cars for the limited interior room. I would personally go for the C-Max for a more useful vehicle with the same tech.
The Volt would also be on my list if I only needed a car for 1 or 2 people. It is basically a plug-in Cruze with the same tiny back seat and no cargo room.
I'm personally not hung up on EV only range for an PHEV. If the engine comes on a few times on my drive to work I don't really care. My regular Prius did 45 - 50 mpg and the plug-in should do much better. At that point the fuel cost is low enough to make fuel economy move down the priority list. The fuel economy would still be great and gas starts going bad in 3 to 6 months.
