It's not cheap, but the RS 6 feels like two cars for the money. Around town, it's an extremely comfortable and well-crafted luxury wagon. But push the RS button on the steering wheel and the RS 6 becomes a rewarding and comically quick performance car.

While other sport sedan manufacturers ask if you want fast or comfortable, Audi simply asks, "Why not both?" The Audi RS 7 combines massive speed and performance potential with a compliant ride and a modern, tech-forward interior.

Cadillac's been in the business of making some seriously fast sedans for over a decade, but none has ever been as cohesive and deeply impressive as the CT5-V Blackwing. It's a comfortable, powerful and great-handling sedan. And if you needed a bonus, the Cadillac even comes with a six-speed manual transmission.

The Audi S7 is best suited for enthusiasts of the brand who want a car that is a genuine all-rounder. It's comfortable on long drives and gets up to speed quickly when you need it to. But the interior is starting to get a little dated, and trunk space is lacking.

The Acura TLX Type S presents a compelling alternative to traditional sport luxury sedans. It may not have the potency of a BMW M5, but thanks to an excellent all-wheel-drive system, a robust set of standard features, and a price below most other rivals, the TLX Type S makes for a practical, everyday car that still lots of fun to drive.
