Sedan Under $15,000
The Honda Fit and Mazda 3 are notable exceptions to the rule that economy sedans aren't fun to drive. The well-equipped and comfortable Hyundai Elantra is one of the best buys on four wheels.
Sedan Under $20,000
The fun and frugal Honda Civic is one of our favorites among budget-priced sedans. It's joined this year by the value-packed 2009 Hyundai Sonata and the spacious yet sporty 2009 Mazda 6.
Sedan Under $25,000
The Honda Accord does most things well and few things poorly. The practical and efficient 2009 Toyota Prius is quite simply one of the best all-around packages on the market, driving dynamics aside.
Sedan Under $30,000
The Pontiac G8 and Volkswagen CC each offer an alluring mix of looks and performance that may make many shoppers think twice about settling for a run-of-the-mill family sedan.
Sedan Under $35,000
The BMW 3 Series remains the best entry-level sport sedan you can buy; the Infiniti G37 offers 5 Series size at a 3 Series price. The Hyundai Genesis offers a world-class ride, optional V8 power and an upscale interior.
Sedan Under $45,000
The Cadillac CTS is capable of competing with the best from Germany and Japan. The 2009 Audi A6's competent engines, luxurious interior and all-wheel drive make it an appealing runner-up.
Sedan Under $60,000
The BMW 5 Series continues to impress with superb driving characteristics and refined engines. The sleek, contemporary Jaguar XF retains the services of the tried-and-true 4.2-liter V8 power plants.
Sedan Over $60,000
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is fast, luxurious and reeks of filthy richness. The 2009 Audi A8 handles better than the S-Class and identifies its driver as a millionaire who thinks outside the box.
