2010 BMW 328i Sport Wagon xDrive
So, you say you like the idea of a European luxury wagon, but your tastes lean more toward Bavaria than Ingolstadt , then we suggest the 2010 BMW 328i xDrive. While BMW is well known for its sporty driving characteristics, it's less associated with all-wheel drive than Audi, despite offering it on many models for the past decade. However, the 328i Wagon with xDrive offers up the same advantages as the Audi A4 Avant, albeit with the BMW philosophy and a slightly smaller cargo capacity (25 cu.-ft.). Price-wise, it's about a wash (again, the mid-$30,000s), and although the current 3 Series has been around for longer, it got a satisfying styling refresh for this year.
