Is it just me, or does the Dodge Dynasty scream salesman? At least on the outside, this rectangular, corporate-like car won't turn heads, but its 3.3-liter, 147-hp V6 reveals the hidden powerhorse underneath the calm exterior. Overall, owners love this surprisingly energetic car.

The 1993 Dodge Dynasty is the last year for this mid-size sedan. A great family car, it offers plush seats and enough interior amenities (faux-wood finish, cupholders, fold-down armrests, optional sunroof) to provide a comfortable ride. And its suspension makes life on the road easy on your backside. Changes to the 1993 Dynasty were an upgraded sound system and stainless steel exhaust. But in its lifetime, this dependable and popular car saw few alterations to its body and interior.

It's not America's Next Top Model, and owners comment on its plain look as a negative selling point. But its responsive handling, plus the combination of engine strength and top speeds with great fuel economy (22/28 mpg) earned a top spot for the Dynasty in drivers' hearts.
