Whos Who List of Luxury Compact Sedan

Once again the era of German supremacy in automobile sector is back, well at least in premium and compact sedan category it is. Currently theres an internet frenzy going on about he Best Car ever produced, initiated by none other than Top Gears Richard Hammond. He declared BMWs 320D Sport as the Best car; we are planning to test his judgment. Our team has selected 4 challengers, all cost in 25,000 to 35,000 bracket and all are premium automakers. They will go toe to toe with Bimmers, one backed by Hammond and one by us in this Best Car Ever Search Special.

Merc C220 CDI Blue EFFECIENCY Vs BMW 320D SE: Winner 320 D SE

Starting with BMWs nemesis, Mad Merc, in late 1990s Mercedes developed a notorious reputation for reliability issues, which they improved greatly by 2005 and their cars are again among the better built, reliable elite. 2012 C Class beats BMW 320 D Sports and 320D SE on paper. C Class, C220 CDI BlueEFFECIENCY, boasts an impressive fuel economy of 64 MPG, 170 BHP diesel engine mated with six speed manual transmission that is capable of pushing it to 60 in 8.4 seconds. And the best part is, it costs 28,270. Compared to BMW 320D diesel Sport its a bargain, but when compared with SE, it looses its appeal. SE comes equipped with a 184 BHP diesel engine with 8 speed gearbox as standard, coupled with better 0 to 60 figure of 7.5 seconds and does almost identical 62 MPG while costing 190 less. Balance tilts in favor of SE.

Lexus IS 200D Vs BMW 320D SE: Winner, again SE

Lexus stands no chance as its 0 to 60 in 10.2 seconds coupled with an under powered engine producing 150 BHP and yielding 55 MPG are not even close to similarly priced SE.

Acura TSX plus Infiniti G Vs 320D SE plus 320 D Sport: Winner, both SE and Sport:

TSX starts from 30,000 and Infiniti G starts from 34,935, thats practically 35,000. Though both have massively bigger engines, with horse powers in the range of 201 and 320 BHP, which pushes them from 0 to 60 in almost 5 seconds, yet both prove to be highly uneconomical to drive. Both have 26 MPG fuel economy and produce way more CO2/ Km. Plus they both cost a tad too much, so no surprises here as both Bimmers are more fun and practical than TSX and G.
