BMW 3 Series

The 3 Series provides a wonderful blend of luxury and driver appeal, seating five in comfort while retaining the brand's emphasis on sporty handling. Buyers are spoiled for choice with a range of equipment levels and engines, from the frugal three-cylinder 318i and petrol-electric hybrid 330e to the six-cylinder 3.0-litre twin-turbo M4.

Pros: Excellent engines, plug-in hybrid option.

Cons: Not the class leader it once was. bmw.com.au
