Ok, I've been doing a lot of traveling lately (currently sitting in Sacramento airport because my flight is delayed 3 hours). Figured I'd put together a list of cars I currently drove.

1. 2006 Ford Mustang convertible- I liked the exhaust note. It's the first RWD vehicle I've ever driven. Not sure if it's the RWD or the car itself, but I liked how it handled. I could really feel the road. It turned good, and had good power. The stereo was ok, but he interior sucked. The two hour car ride made my back hurt from the crappy interior styling. almost no back seat, and barely enough trunk space for 3 suitcases. Overall, not bad.

2. 2006 Ford 500- It's like driving a tank. It could go fast, but seemed like it took forever to get through the gears. Interior was just as bad as the mustang. Bad stereo. Ugly, boxy looking car to boot. I did not enjoy this.

3. 2006 Hyundai Sonata - I was surprised at this car. For a four banger, it accelerated pretty good. Extremely quiet. Great turning/braking (I found out by accident). Nice stereo. It was actually a pleasure to drive considering the underpowered engine. The interior felt nice compared to the Fords. But in the end, it's still a Hyundai. Decent "value" car though.

4. 2006 Ford Taurus - Best interior design of the Fords that I drove. It is a beast though with the worst acceleration of the fords I drove. Reminds me of my mom's Buick. wink

Well, if I ever get to Portland tonight, I'll see what car they give me. Probably another Taurus. I get stuck with those a lot.
