Acceleration: 4 cylinder vs V6?


Could you please tell me if there are any 4 cylinder cars that have acceleration that is equivalent to that of a 3.8 V6? Both off the line and on the highway?

I want to buy a newer (2014-2016) but most are only available with 4 cylinders.

Until 2 years ago, I only drove V6's, then I bought a Ford Fusion with a 4 cylinder engine and the lack of pep is driving me absolutely bonkers!

I would like a mid to full size, 4 door sedan, that has a very solid/heavy feel to it. I don't care about communications options, back up camera, navigation or leather. But would like remote start, sunroof and a nice-sounding stereo system. I don't want to spend over $25,000. Any suggestions?

Thanks much!
