  | Autobild: (New) A4 2.0 TDI vs. MB C 200 CDI A4 wants to be the sportiest car in the middleclass. Is that enough to beat the C-class?  At the end A4 puts the C-class to place two. Much thanks to the TDI engine, interior and the better base price. However, C-class offer better comfort and is better equipped. 1. A4 (478p) 2.

| Re: Autobild: *new* Audi A4 vs MB C-class The Audi's elasticity really is impressive; suffice to say, it makes runny eggs of the MB. Nevertheless, the two vehicles are so evenly matched that as per usual, the choice comes down to personal preference. Great test though.  P.S. - I love that Barolo Red colour on the C-Class. |

| Re: Autobild: (New) A4 2.0 TDI vs. MB C 200 CDI The rear end of the Audi already looks old. |

| Re: Autobild: (New) A4 2.0 TDI vs. MB C 200 CDI I think that all the cars in this segment... 3er. c class and A4 have rears that are nice... but just not great... its a design flaw in all of them im warming quickly to th A4 but there are still some lines i dont like... i doesnt all flow nicely to me yet... neither did the 3 series for awhile but now i love it i MUCh prefer the traditional grille and star on the class then the sports package... having seen both in real life and both in black the classic verision is much more benz and more more elegent and luxurious |

As for the A4 it seem like Audi has done a superb job and like we see here it is clearly a contender, mostly because of it's very attractive price. The interior looks great although doesn't have the same high quality feel as the A6 and the B7. The plastic on the entire center console doesn't feel as good as the typical rubber/plastic used in Audis. | |

    and I don't why, this is my absolutely favourite...  Compared to these, the Audi A4 design looks a bit "old".  | |

| Re: Autobild: (New) A4 2.0 TDI vs. MB C 200 CDI I think the C200 CDI put up a good show, especially considering that the engine it uses is pretty much outdated and has its roots from the W202 C-Class CDI!  |

| Re: Autobild: (New) A4 2.0 TDI vs. MB C 200 CDI I can't help but to say the man struggles to sit comfortably in back seat of the two cars. He looks 6'4 or even taller, not appropriate to be featured in compact sedan. |
