Hyundai Motors first foray into the midsize family sedan bracket was with the Hyundai Sonata and well, way back in 1989, the general car buying public in North America didn’t take kindly to it. It lacked quality interiors, had weak engines and overall a cheapness associated with Hyundai small cars. Even Hyundai Sonata reviews for the first generation model said the same. Taking heed of this Hyundai refreshed the Hyundai Sonata and gave it a cool styling with some very good interior trims and made it all the more upmarket. Later Hyundai Sonata reviews reflect this.

Mazda Motors Corporation, a previous subsidiary of Ford Motors is known for making sporty cars. Mazda cars are known more for their rotary engines which may seem primitive however incorporate the best of technology to give a modern feel.

BMW cars are known to be a thrilling drive and the closest that you can get in terms of practicality and pure performance. The gold standard in entry level luxury performance cars has always been the BMW 3 series and elevating its appeal is the BMW M3. Now, a BMW M3 would cost approximately $10,000 more than the standard BMW 3 series however a used BMW M3 sells for far less than its original cost. The BMW M3 was available in convertible as well as coupe body styles. Chances are that most likely, one would find a used BMW M3  in coupe form. This is because the convertible was a more sensible option and not many would be around for a resale. The first generation BMW M3 was from 2001-2006. The engine is always the talking point of a BMW and the  [...]
