Editors' Most Wanted Vehicles for 2004

Most Wanted Sedan under $35,000

Winner: BMW 3 Series

Despite perennial attempts by the competition to knock it off its perch atop the entry-level sport sedan segment, the BMW 3 Series continues to maintain its appeal. Whether you're looking for a sport sedan that makes every errand an anticipated event, or just an upscale sedan with top-notch build quality and a high-class interior, the 3 Series delivers. Its six-cylinder engines are some of the best in the industry, and when it comes to ride quality and road feel there are few cars that can match the 3's compliant ride and precise steering. Throw in dashing good looks, a simple yet functional interior and solid resale value and it's easy to see why this sedan continues to hold us under its spell.

Honorable Mention: Audi A4

With a choice of front- or all-wheel drive; four-, six- or eight-cylinder power; and manual, automatic or continuously variable transmissions, the A4 offers a little bit of everything for the discerning sport sedan buyer. Whether you're considering the relatively inexpensive base model or you're looking to go all out with the ultrahigh-performance, V8-powered S4 model, all A4s feature exquisite interiors, sharp handling and a clean exterior style with few faults. In years past, buying an Audi signaled that you were willing to make a few sacrifices to get something out of the mainstream, but rest assured that the latest A4 provides all the charm without any of the drawbacks.
