If snow and rain are constant companions on your commute, we have options to improve your daily drive: the best 10 sedans with all-wheel drive (AWD), a feature that will give you an extra dose of traction in inclement weather. To make the trip even more enjoyable, most of the AWD cars listed below have a manufacturer's suggested retail price that's less than $35,000 (before destination charges). Some are well below that figure, leaving you room to add heated seats, a heated steering wheel, windshield wiper de-icers and other hedges against rotten weather. AWD sedans from BMW and Volvo have starting MSRPs a little above $35K, but they're still worth your consideration. We've listed the cars in our order of preference. As you shop, you will likely find better prices, particularly if incentives are available. Another money-saving option is to check for Edmunds Price Promise® offers on these cars. Finally, it's smart to look into winter tires, which will give you even more driving confidence when the climate is against you.

Starting MSRP for AWD: $34,200. The 2016 Subaru WRX has the right stuff when it comes to power and handling. All-wheel drive is standard.

Starting MSRP for AWD: $27,965. 4. 2016 BMW 320i xDrive The 2016 BMW 320i xDrive's starting MSRP of $35,150 is a little above our ceiling. But from its sporty driving character to its refined ride and cabin, this is an exceptionally well-rounded compact luxury sedan. Cold-weather options are available. 5. 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 4Matic The 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 4Matic's coupelike styling and relative affordability will appeal to buyers looking to move up to a luxury brand.

Option packages can quickly push up the price, but heated seats à la carte are $580. 6. 2016 Volvo S60 T5 This entry-level luxury sedan won't bowl you over with excitement, but with its impressive safety features, the 2016 Volvo S60 T5 is a good choice, even though its $35,450 MSRP slightly exceeds our ceiling. With lots of standard features and a relatively affordable price, the 2016 Buick Regal offers decent value for shoppers seeking an entry-level luxury sedan. Cold-weather options abound on both the base and Premium II trim levels. Starting MSRP for AWD: $31,415. Bold, muscular and loaded with heritage, the 2016 Dodge Charger is a great choice for a distinctive and spacious full-size sedan. AWD is available for the SE and SXT trim levels. Alas, an AWD Hellcat is not on the menu. Starting MSRP for AWD: $30,245. With handsome looks and an upscale interior, the 2016 Chrysler 200 sedan has what it takes to fight for a spot in your driveway. Even loaded up with cold-weather options (including an engine block heater), it would be hard to bust $35K.

Starting MSRP for AWD: $29,905. The 2016 Subaru Legacy comes up a bit short in a few areas compared to some other midsize sedans.

While used ones can be acquired for much less (even major luxury and exotic brands), new sports cars often require cash splashing. Still, if you deem $30,000 an affordable price limit for a sports car, then you’re in luck. internal french doors 78 x 46There are currently more than a few models available for that kind of money, even though sports cars market has seen better and more colorful days. bi fold doors with blinds insideWe’ll give you 10 of these we deemed most worthy in terms of both performance and aesthetics. outdoor fire pits portland oregonAfter all, you do want to match the fashionable and handsome with performance, and these 10 have both in abundance. Toyota 86 is a nameplate US fans aren’t exactly familiar with.

At least not yet. That’s because Japanese sports car has been marketed under Scion badge, as Scion FRS. Similar clone of this two-door coupe can be found under Subaru badge. There, it’s called Subaru BRZ. Considering all this, most of you actually know what Toyota 86 is. What’s better, the 86 is switching badges as of August 2016, and will stay under Toyota’s roof from now on. It will be powered by 2.0L Boxer 4-cylinder sparking 205 hp and 156 lb-ft of torque. That’s 5 hp and 5 lb-ft of torque more than what current FRS and BRZ offer. Prices are yet to be disclosed, but they will likely fall in the range between $25,000 and $30,000. Scion FRS is currently available for $27,200 in its base form, while Subaru BRZ starts from $25,395. The fastest Challenger one can afford for sub $30k total is actually the entry-level SXT. This doesn’t mean the car is slow or not sporty enough. Challenger SXT’s 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine packs more than healthy 305 horses and 268 lb-ft of torque.

It goes for $26,995 these days, and there’s even SXT Plus package for $29,995, but don’t expect better performance with it. Successor of the famous World Rally Championship winner car Impeza is currently available for $26,695, while Premium upgrade moves the sticker up to $28,995. Performance remains the same, however, as WRX’s 2.0L turbo Boxer 4-cylinder raises a hefty 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. You also get Subaru’s mandatory all-wheel drive with it, so there are less fears of skidding off the road that way. It might not be one of the prominent sports cars by a long shot, but WRX is one hell of a performer for sure. One can hardly imagine it as one of the most fashionable sports cars, but Fiat 500 is an iconic car in its own way. Fiat 500 Abarth, on the other hand, packs enough power to earn consideration, at least. It might be the slowest among these ten sports cars, but it’s also the lightest and quite fun. At $22,575, it’s also the most affordable, and it still generates up to 160 hp and 183 lb-ft of torque depending on transmission.

That’s good enough from 1.4L-small turbo inline-four. You can buy both 1LT and 2LT trim packages of the new Camaro for under $30k. Former costs $25,700, while latter takes $29,800 to buy. That only works for coupes, though, as convertibles all soar above the $30k limit. Wasting time on Camaro’s performance is unnecessary. Chevy’s iconic pony offers 3.6L V6 mill with 335 horsepower and 284 feet-pounds of torque. Although in its basic form, Camaro is still one of the best affordable sports cars around. Well, since you can’t exactly buy the RS for $30,000 (it costs at least $35,900), there’s the ST version to drown the sorrows. Ford Focus ST starts from $24,425 and it somewhat downgrades great fuel efficiency of the regular lineup. On the other hand, it ups the ante in performance department. 2.0L EcoBoost 4-cylinder delivers 252 horses and 270 lb-ft of torque. It’s still 100 horses short of RS’ impeccable performance figure, but most people should be content with what it has to offer.

Especially considering the low amount of money involved. Volkswagen Golf is another nameplate people rarely perceive as a sports car. Range-topping Golf GTI introduced back in 2014 , however, offers sports car worthy figures when it comes to performance. 2.0L turbo four makes as much as 220 horses and 258 lb-ft of torque with performance package or 210 horsepower without one. It starts from $24,995 (three-door version), but performance package models cost at least $$26,490. 4-door versions are slightly more expensive, but they all squeeze in within the $30k margin. For two years already, Ford offers its famous pony car’s entry level tier with two different engine choices. There’s the good old 3.7L normally aspirated V6, and the new 2.3L turbo four. Former of the two generates 300 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque, while latter EcoBoost mill develops even stronger 310 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. Ford Mustang has always been one of the most sought after sports cars, and new generation is no different.

It’s as affordable as always (for a performer) in its initial trim with V6 models starting from $24,645, and four bangers warranting stickers of at least $1,000 more. There’s hardly a better brand new sports car you can find for less than $30,000. Nissan 370Z actually barely squeezes on this list thanks to its starting sticker of $29,990, but it still makes it. Modern Fairlady is fitted with 3.7L naturally aspirated V6 engine which is good enough for 332 horses and 270 feet-pounds of torque. It’s not as fast as NISMO, but at least it fits the budget. Is there a better way to conclude this list than with arguably the most popular affordable sports car of all time? I don’t think so. Mazda MX-5’s stickers start from $26,395, and they don’t usually surpass the $30k mark by too much. 2.0L Skyaktiv 4-cylinder engine yields no more than 155 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque, but it’s still pacey and agile enough for the average driver. Sports cars usually offer more power, but not everything’s is in those figures.
