Bottomline The 2009 Audi A4 has grown into a more useful luxury sedan, though it goes overboard with optional, programmable handling. The 2008 BMW 3-Series sedan has the best overall driving experience in its class and remains the gold standard among mid-size sport sedans. The 2008 Saab 9-3 SportCombi is an often-overlooked SUV alternative for those who have goods to haul but want to arrive in style and have fun on the way.
