2007 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed manual FWD |
Have visited the Volvo factory in Sweden, and they take a lot of pride in the cars they make. They are moving beyond the image of the "brick" car and are making some very nice vehicles. see full Volvo V50 review |

2010 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Kia and Hyundai deservedly are darlings of the car industry now. But even in 2010, Kia still was shedding their old "I could not afford a Japanese car" image. It was one of my biggest reservations about buying. Their image keeps on improving. see full Kia Soul review |
