6-speed shiftable CVT AWD		 The Jeep Patriot is one of the most desirable looking / good performing small SUVs on the market with no comparison (all the others look like pill bugs in my opinion), yet the reviews for the Patriot have all been mediocre from most of my research. see full Jeep Patriot review

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

6-speed automatic FWD		 I get it. This is an "old people's car" in the common mindset. see full Ford Taurus review
