TCC’s Bottom Line

Magnificent design and technology sets the Audi A4 apart, but it's not quite as sporty as its BMW and Cadillac competition.

The 2013 Infiniti G37 offers some of the sensory thrills of a sports car, in a more practical sedan body style, although it's not as refined as other premium-brand alternatives.

TCC Likes

Handsome, still
Excellent front sport seats
All-wheel-drive handling

Communicative steering
Excellent handling
Strong brakes

TCC Dislikes

Tight back seat
Drive Select is pricey, unnecessary
Optional Bluetooth and rearview camera

Excessive road/engine noise for a luxury car
Lumpy shifts (automatic)
Lack of rear headroom
