Rook, I never bother to check under the hood. Usually I'm in too much of a hurry. But maybe next time.

I have no idea what kind of powertrains those vehicles have, so that is good to know. The Ford 500 just seemed like it had poor throttle response and a really bad turning radius. I guess I kind of expected that from a cheap Taurus, but expected more from the 500? I don't know. Just one novice car driver's thoughts.

I got to drive another Sonata on the way home last night. Got into it and it only had 5 miles on the odometer. I got to break it in real nice. Even my fiancee said it was a "nice little car". It may not have a lot of power, but I like the way it shifts. Makes it feel like it's going faster than it is. And, it's extremely quiet.
