I agree. I've driven them all extensively and the only one that truly speaks to me is the Alfa Giulia. However that car suffers from mediocre build quality, an interior that can't even keep up with an E90 3-series, laughable tech, and a budget-feeling dealership experience. Most including myself would put up with the slightly more numb character of the 3-series for all its other perks. The A/S4 is just a total bore and the C43's handling and poor ride don't measure up. BMW has produced a really solid car here.

But personally I wouldn't purchase anything in this segment anymore. Everybody is trying to sell you the idea of "sporty" while really just producing fast but mostly comfort-oriented commuter cars. The Porsche Macan line is actually the 4 door driver's car of choice.
