The 5 Best Midsize Sport Sedans

Practical, family-friendly cars that are great fun to drive

BMW 335i
Base Price: $40,100
Engine: 3.0-liter twin-turbo I6, 300 hp

The 335i is lighter than the C350, tipping the scales at 3600 pounds, and smallest in this group by 4 inches, while bringing 300 hp to the throttle, thanks to twin turbochargers. No wonder it's super fast and handles like it wants more, with the $1000 sport suspension package - a bargain including wheels and bucket-seat bolstering.

This is BMW's first turbocharged engine in 25 years, and they've advanced the technology - surprise, surprise. The two small turbochargers perpetually spin, eliminating turbo lag and making all 300 pound-feet of torque available from 1400 to 5000 rpm. Hooboy! At its 6800-rpm redline, it sounds so sweet.

At a steady 80 mph, it gets 25 miles per gallon. Shock and awe from a 300-horsepower car. BMW engine precision.
