Most Wanted Coupe Under $35,000

BMW 3 Series Winner: BMW 3 Series

Beautiful to look at, comfortable to ride in and a joy to thread down a meandering canyon road, the 3 Series is one coupe that makes us smile like none other. Its engines provide power that is both supremely refined and surprisingly strong while the suspension delivers a near perfect blend of ride comfort and road feel. High-quality trimmings combine with a simple yet elegant cabin design to give this coupe an interior that is both upscale and functional without resorting to fussy gimmicks. There are faster and flashier coupes out there, but when it comes to delivering the complete package, the 3 Series reigns supreme.


Honorable Mention: Infiniti G35

Often overshadowed by its prominent Z-car cousin, the G35 is a fast, stylish coupe with more than enough personality to stand on its own. Its overachieving V6 engine not only assures lightning-quick acceleration, it purrs with a distinctive exhaust note that turns heads almost as much as the sleek sheet metal. All the latest technology is available in the cabin, but unlike the 350Z the G35 looks the part of an upscale coupe — and it has small, yet functional rear seats to boot. Thrilling behind the wheel and impressive just sitting in the driveway, the G35 is an outstanding coupe that satisfies in more ways than one.
