I don't float around this part of jsp much so if this has been gone over dozens of times already, forgive me.

Which of the 3 cars do you prefer (optional: give reasons)?

Audi a4 shouldn't even be on that list. The bmw will be boosted if new enough but Imo the mb c class looks better.

Why? Based on looks, the interior is arguably the best (way ahead of the 3-Series, closer to C-Class) and the exterior is sleek. Performance wise they're all around the same anyway. So it comes down to preferences on looks, and the A4 is the most popular model of the company famous for their pretty cars.

Year is the biggest question, We need a year range. IF its 1990-2006ish BMW> from there till about 2013 I would say audi made some great over all base entry level coupes/sedans. (keep in mind I still think throughout all year BMW are by far best feeling cars to drive) and from today forward i would Go to BMW for overall total package.

such a broad question, but if comparing 2014 base models I'd go with the A4.

Yeah I figured it was broad but it was like that on purpose so I can find out why people preferred their respective choice.

And I made this topic in mind for recent years (2012-????)

Also, I'm hearing the maintenance cost for Benz is higher than the others? That would probably be a big factor in one's choice between these 3.

Also what 3-series and C class are you talking about? Mercs are only more expensive due to not being very DIY friendly. The option of never getting a MT also is a deal breaker for a lot of people.

Don't you DARE buy an A4 unless its Quattro either... May as well buy a Passat at that point.

NEW 328i is nice.. the 2L turbo has 240 hp and 258 tq stock.. Pretty decent for it.

A4 is 220 hp/258 tq..

C250 is 201 HP..

Really up to what you want and like.

Do you NEED AWD or is drive train not a factor?


I will say for me it would be A4 Quattro -> 328i -> C250... Audi is my favorite and their interiors and build quality are great. BMW interior unless an //M is bland (If interior matters to you) I just don't like the stock look of the 328's (Mainly cause of the wheels).. C250... Not worth it, No power either. And out of the 3 the benz will end up costing you more to maintain also. Audi being cheapest of the 3.

Really up to you tho..
