Personally, VW Golf GTi. I had a look at both last year. the B200T cost like $50k AUD drive way while the GTi is around $43k AUD drive away, so the GTi is a lot cheaper. The GTI wins on exterior, interior styling, performance, handling, possibly refinement. The B-class has better build quality but the material quality aren't as good as the GTi.

If your sister is buying it, i will tell her to get a B class, cause it is more of a girl's car and her friends will be impressed because it is a Mercedes, even though it is not up to the usual MB standards. It is a more comfortable daily drive car, and i am guessing the insurance will be cheaper?
