2011 4dr Sedan turbocharged 365hp 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 It is July 2013 and I bought my car last month. It is the first Ford I have owned since 1982, when I traded in a '69 Galaxy for a '79 Horizon. Wish I still had the Galaxy! I grew up in a Ford family, had my diver's license since 1974 and driven a bunch of different cars but had primarily been a GM for the last 20 years. They're still doing nice stuff and I've driven some of it but this Ford stole my heart and I'm glad to be back in the fold. Both Ford and GM have had their political and social miscues the last few years but I think Ford's product speaks for itself and I'm glad I own one. see full Ford Taurus review
2008 4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed automatic FWD		 I get it. This is an "old people's car" in the common mindset. see full Ford Taurus review
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Brand Reputation of the Hyundai Elantra GT

Hyundai Elantra GT Brand Reputation: Cons
YearComment
While Hyundai's reputation has come a long way, it hasn't been fielding top-ranked sport compacts for decades the way Volkswagen and Honda have, and consequently it has little cred among driving enthusiasts. Buy a Hyundai Elantra GT and you'll have to explain your choice in a way GTI owners do not. Buyers of the new Civic Si might have to defend the exterior styling, but otherwise shouldn't encounter much blowback. But the Elantra GT? Friends and family could have doubts. For those who don't care for the obvious choices, and who find diamonds in the rough appealing, this could be a plus. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review
