Kind of early to tell. The previous Fusion was basically the class-leader in the family sedan segment for reliability, but there's some truth to never buying the first model year. Stick with the base model 2.5, however, and not much mechanically really changed.
Tough choice for me between these three cars. Each is attractive although I'd say Mazda takes the win in the styling department. I too believe in skipping the first model year as they work to iron out the wrinkles so I'd have to wait til the next model year for the Fusion and 6. The current Sonata has been on the market since 2009 which makes it roughly four years old and likely nearing the end of its production cycle. The upside is that if you go with the Sonata, it's basically as good as this generation will ever get since they've had a few years to take care of any issues. It also just had a minor update in 2012.
Is the '14 Mazda 6 really a new design? It looks like a '13 model with a face lift to me.

I'd call it a huge improvement. I never really liked the prior generation Mazda 6 (particularly from the rear) while the new redesign really is quite attractive.
I dont think you can go wrong with any of them, I would say drive them and see what one you like best.
Totally agree. Cars are great these days. Buy what you like.
