BMW 328i*
Mileage: 21 mpg combined city/highway
Starting price: $33,175
The 328i has a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder engine that generates 230 hp. The 3 Series is the best-selling icon in the entry-level luxury sedan market, with U.S. sales of close to 100,000 units this year through August. The standard transmission is a six-speed manual. Except for big V-8 sedans like the 750Li (18 mpg combined) and the 10-cylinder M5 (13 mpg combined), most of the BMW lineup gets around an estimated19 or 20 mpg, Vincentric said.
