4. 2016 Audi A3
Audi certainly knows to market luxury and sporty cars, and this can be seen in its fleet of cars, including our personal favorite, the R8. But if you are looking for an affordable luxury car that will not hurt your retirement fund, then the 2016 Audi A3 will perfectly suit your needs and luxurious dreams. The A3 comes in different configurations, from a five-door hatchback,a cabriolet and a sedan. As a luxury unit from Audi and priced at roughly $30,000, the 2016 Audi A3 competes directly with the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 and other entry level units from BMW. This upscale car is available in four power-trains, and some of the highlights that can catch your attention are a 1.9-liter turbocharged engine that can produce 170 horsepower, a 2.o-liter TDI diesel that can offer 150 horsepower, and the e-tron hybrid option that can comes with a 102-horsepower electric motor. While the Audi A3 has some limitations including small cargo space, this Audi entry is a solid option, and a smart buy for your money.
