BMW 3 Series 
The BMW 3 Series has long been the car to beat in the luxury sport-sedan category and remains one of the benchmarks in its class. Available in sedan, wagon and hatchback configurations, it offers hybrid, diesel or gasoline engines with power ranging from 180 horsepower all the way up to 425 in the performance-infused M3. The diesel version is one of very few of its kind in this segment—and it is exceptional. All 3 Series cars combine sport driving with comfort and luxury.
Pros
- Fun to drive
- Choice of drivetrains
- Very nice look
- Reasonable fuel consumption
Cons
- Tight rear seats
- M3: Suspension unnecessarily firm
- Cabin has aged
- Price sometimes too high
