The top 10 luxury cars based on reviews, price, reliability, and gas mileage are a mixed bunch of cars that cover a wide range of styles.
1. Ford Flex
The Flex is Ford’s attempt at building a crossover SUV that embraces both the passenger room of an SUV and the styling of a luxury sedan.

The Flex starts at $28,000 and can get up to 25 MPG with highway driving.
2. Chrysler 300
The 300 is a four door luxury family sedan that is both beautiful to look at and a sheer joy to drive. The powerful V8 engine has enough power to move the large sedan without any problems or lack of acceleration.

3. Mercedes Benz C Class
A family sports sedan, this four door luxury vehicle carries on the tradition of great Mercedes performance and reliability. Starting at $33,000 for the base 3.0 liter V6, the C Class can go up to the C63 sports sedan with a 6.2 liter V8 that will cost $60,000. MPG is on the small side with 19 MPG on the highway for the larger engine.
4. Ford Mustang
The Mustang has long been a name synonymous with sports cars. However, the newer versions, while still keeping its sports tradition alive, has a little more luxury added into the mix. The large 5.0 liter V8 offers great value with its 25 MPG rating for highway driving.
