Which used car for around $20,000?

[Chauffeur]

Hi,

I've been looking for a mid to small sized used car for around $20,000. I want something sporty that I don't mind parking on the street in the city. As I like to way German cars are engineered and handle... I have two models in mind
-Audi A3 2007
-BMW 328i 2007

Both can be found used with 20-40,000 miles around my price range

Any opinions? What would you get?

Thanks.

The A3 is FWD where the Bimmer runs RWD, so the Audi is gonna be better in snow but the Bimmer should have a lot more "feel" to the driving (and most bimmers do). Though I believe both are available in AWD. Other than that, they're a lot alike. They're both gonna cost a small fortune to maintain, they both have a nice and fairly comfortable interior, etc... Living in Phili you might wanna go for the AWD options (gas mileage will drop slightly and the handling will change a bit compared to the base drivetrain), especially on the BMW.

Audi and BMW both are the best cars no doubts but both of them don’t provide any sporty look. If you want to buy a sporty looking car the4n you must choose some other car. Audi resembles the royal look. You can still buy it if you want a better car.

Dear Chauffeur,

Both Audi A3 and BMW are okay while considering performance, speed and mechanism. But audi R8 gives more sporty look compared to audi A3. I have recently bought an audi A3, priced 18500 through washington dealer which i found it through http://www.unocardealers.com/cars-by-dealers. if you want to buy an BMW car of 2007 model you can get it around $20000.
