Affordable Luxury Cars

Somewhat confusingly, BMW offers two entirely different cars under the 2 Series moniker, but the regular ol’ coupe is probably our favorite. Its two-door body style and tight rear seats limit its appeal, but those looking for classic rear-wheel-drive BMW athleticism and lean, aggressive styling will find a lot to love in even the base 230i coupe, which starts at $42,875. Even without any options, the 255-horsepower BMW 230i is sporty and fun to drive, and its highway fuel economy rating of 35 mpg is genuinely surprising. All-wheel drive is a $2,000 option, while a much more powerful M240i trim is available for $11,300 extra.
