Best Medium Cars of November 2008

With the Ford Mondeo now being knocked out of the competition due to it being too expensive, we now have the Hyundai Sonata added to the fold (it just beat the Holden Epica, another Korean mid-size car, by features). Kia Magentis is still ahead of the Hyundai Sonata though, thanks mainly to its value for money.
