If you’re looking for a car from the big three German luxury automakers, then the A3 is the most affordable option.

The 2-Series comes as either a coupe or a four-door Gran Coupe, but we think that the former makes infinitely more sense. There are few better two-door sports cars at this price point. The 2-Series features smooth and refined powertrains, and it perfectly walks the line between performance and comfort with its ride quality. Its interior is also just as plush.

With the removal of the high-performance Quadrifoglio from the lineup, many have written off the Giulia, waiting patiently for the next generation of the sedan.

Where the Audi A3 gives buyers an affordable point of entry, the A4 aims to be a true sporty sedan. It is the automaker’s answer to the BMW 3-Series and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

We’ve gotten our first peak of the next generation of the CLA, and it has us plenty excited. It has big shoes to fill, with the current model year being such an exceptional entry-level Mercedes.

2025 Acura TLX
Starting MSRP: $45,400
The TLX sits in a bit of an awkward spot in the market, not quite small enough or affordable enough to compete against compact sedans, but not quite big enough to play with mid-size options. If you’re looking for something slightly bigger than the likes of the BMW 3-Series and the Audi A4, but not as expensive as a 5-Series, the TLX is a great choice.
Key Tech Features
- 10.2-inch HD display with True Touchpad Interface
