It takes a lot to impress us, but that doesn’t mean we don’t get excited from time to time about a new engine or when an inexpensive vehicle is actually a hoot to drive. We like digging into which car companies are best at building a vehicle within a certain price range. “Who builds the best $30,000 car?” is a question that’s hard to answer because everyone defines “best” differently. The challenge gets harder in the luxury space because the vehicles have more amenities to evaluate and vastly different standards.
