Mercedes-Benz CLA
If you want a Mercedes-Benz sedan, but are on a tight budget, take a hard look at the CLA. It starts at about $35,000 and has the same slick style as the German brand's other products. The base version includes a front-wheel drivetrain and 208 horsepower. A 4MATIC all-wheel-drive version is also available. For those who want more juice, there’s an AMG CLA 45 variant that develops 375 horsepower and reaches 100 km/h in less than five seconds.
