C-class = bling on the outside, inside and motor ... yawn
BMW > Mercedes

But if you want pure luxury ES330 is the best bet.
TL IMO is the best all around car for entry-luxury
 
Old roomate has a C230.

On his 3rd transmission, about 20,000 miles...

i say little more..😉

But hey, the sunroof is nice.
 
I'd take the bmw, i read somewhere that MBZ is no longer going to offer free scheduled maintenence on their new cars. Besides that, the only c-class i'd take over a bmw possibly is the AMG one.

It's like the 3-Series hatchback, in some ways.

You do realize not all C classes are hatchbacks?

Anways, what I didn't like about 3 series was the new bangled look. I'd take older 3 series over C class.


where have u seen the new 3 series??
that wasnt computer rendered??

and 3-series >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> c-class
c = chrysler class
LOL!!

They've been out for a couple of years. Btw, when you talk crap about C-class, have you actually owned or driven one?

I agree; BMW has better styling, less flash, and (at least the image they present is) cares more about the driving experience, rather than the "look at me I'm rich" experience.
 
I will never understand the logic....

Here you have a guy who asks a point blank question, which of these TWO would you choose, yet there are always though who feel the need to throw in their two cents especially when their choice isn't listed....

for example:

Acura TL...G35 might be a fair comparison/alternative but still the guy is asking for one or the other...not your two cents on what you think is a better choice.

Really though, a G35 or an Audi A4 (yes, I know, but I love how it looks.)

At least Kelvrick gives a nice non rice rocket suggestion, but still not focusing on the two instead more concerned with his two cents.

Ahh, a glorified toyota camry is pure luxury?....and since when is a TL even considered "luxury"....

Originally posted by: ajayjuneja

I vote for G35. Oh wait, I bought one

save yourself the $$$ and have just as much fun with less headaches.

Another suggestion that isn't even one of the options, at least this guy admits though that he bought the car and is heavily biased.

G35.

Another non option suggestion....


And finally my favorite, just because it is funny....

So here we have 8, not counting Mani's suggestion, people who just felt the need to suggest what they would buy even when not asked outside of the two stated options....sorry but I don't see the need to throw in my 2 when the person obviously doesn't want to hear it....

In response to the OP, go with the BMW if you want sporty or the Merc if you want a more luxurious ride, in the end only you can decide.

you just threw in a hell lot of "2 cent's" yourself

the C- class is known to be unreliable and lower class merc's are usually built quite poorly

with that said, the BMW 3-series is a better buy.
 
BMW pwns MB... Tested many cars while I was looking into the entry level of luxury... Yeah I'm poor.

The C-class is POS. Drove it and hated it..... if you want luxury interior get the Lexus.... if you want handling get a BMW.... if you want HP get a G35 ... if you want "bling bling and show people you can't afford a nice MB well get a C-Class..... If you want german car with a great line of mods Audi seems to fit the bill..... If you want reliability and save some money get the Acura TL.....

one thing for sure, MBZ interior ownz any BMW.

anyway, the C240 V6 is pathetic, I swear my 4banger toyota can accelerate faster than that.

to each his own

C class interior appeals more to the older crowd

BMW interior is much sportier

 
sorry....I just like BMW better...unless you are over 60...jk. C-class is great too. I just think the BMW is sleeker and more aesthetically pleasing!
