Why should I also consider these?

The rear-drive cars of this group are much more sporting in terms of driving personality and dynamics.

The BMW 3 Series remains a performance benchmark that few can match, including the front-wheel-drive 2009 Lincoln MKZ.

The Infiniti G37 comes close to the BMW 3 Series in terms of athleticism, but the MKZ provides more room and value over both.

The Audi A4 and Lexus ES 350 are primarily front-drive sedans (the ES is based on the Toyota Camry platform).

The Audi is sportier than the Lincoln, but smaller and less comfortable.

The Lexus is considerably more sedate than the Lincoln—and the only one in this bunch not to offer optional all-wheel drive—but the ES is Lexus’s comfort-oriented, affordable model.

2008 BMW 3-Series
The 2008 BMW 3-Series sedan has the best overall driving experience in its class and remains the gold standard among mid-size sport sedans.
 
2008 Lexus ES 350
The 2008 Lexus ES 350 is a plush, soft-handling car that would make Buick proud--if Buick still built cars like this.
