The BMW 328i is the perfect blend of luxury, sport and prestige. Cars.com tested it against the industry's best luxury sport sedans in 2013 and it came out on top, beating its competitors.

It's quick: zero to 60 mph in just 6.5 seconds. It's frugal: Observed gas mileage in our testing rang in at 28.1 mpg combined city/highway.
