Cars you've driven that have impressed you

[Mr Hardware]

So most of us here like to try different cars every now and then. I want to know what cars you've driven lately that have impressed you - IE you didn't think they'd be much chop, but they have been actually rather good.
I'm not after modified or abused cars - i'm after impressions of cars that are entirely indicative of the usual one. Cars made in the last decade or so are preferred.

For me? The 2006-2009 CM Hyundai Santa Fe. Having previously driven the 2005 Tucson, i was expecting an unpleasant bucket of bolts. Instead I got a refined and comfortable car, with a meaty steering wheel, excellent seating position, nice ride for an SUV, competent transmission and well presented and appointed cabin. I was impressed!
