2007 4dr Sedan 325-horsepower 4.5L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Infiniti has always been a reliable car with quality workmanship see full Infiniti M review
2006 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Good, although local dealer has a monopoly, and thus overpriced locally. works against me when I want to buy. The Grand prix, is very good value for the money, and my wife still prefers the Grand Prix. The M is big and heavy, G is quicker, but more common see full Infiniti M review
2004 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.5L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 People driving other luxury cars that it competes with know not to screw with an M45. Drivers of cars it does not directly compete with (who are car people) know what it is capable of & unless they purposely bought a rocket, will leave the M alone. see full Infiniti M review

7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 I am very unhappy that Infiniti is rebadging its entire product line. The car will go the way of the Dodo after only three model years. Not good for resale value. see full Infiniti M review
2006 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Still need to improve the reliability see full Infiniti M review

2009 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Hyundai has made major strides in reputation for reliability, build quality and style in the last few years, especially for the price. For value oriented customers who keep their cars a long time, these are major positive factors. see full Hyundai Sonata review

6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The Customer Service folks at Hyndai are weasels. see full Hyundai Sonata review
2011 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 People seem to be living in the past in regards to this. Hyundai is probably more reliable than the average brand but people who have never owned one only want to remember the days when they were considered a joke. Most problems I have heard of are only minor in nature. The pulling issue is the only legit one I've read about often and they seem to have fixed that. I've had no issues other than a dead battery which is irritating but not really Hyundai's fault. Really impressive considering this was a completely new design in its first model year. Great warranty makes this a non issue in my opinion. see full Hyundai Sonata review
2009 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 It does not have the cache of honda or toyota, which will hurt resale. However, at the price paid, and with that warranty, I still like the Sonota. see full Hyundai Sonata review
2009 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Cheap and low class. see full Hyundai Sonata review
2008 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Hyundai has not had a great reputation for high quality cars for most of its history. see full Hyundai Sonata review
2002 4dr Sedan 149-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Well, it still does not have the class. I do not care that much but you specially feel it when you want to trade it in for something else. see full Hyundai Sonata review
