Ιt's the second worse after the 316i (yup 3 series with 1.6 lt engine) that we have in the Greek market!

Other than that like i said all the cars are equally good for me.

Looks like the AUDI is shaping up to be a class best.

I agree .
318d is not real BMW..it just isn´t ..I see purpose behind this model and all that but IMO it doesnt deliver much of that sporty BMW´s approach to customer..Anyway,Audi has won this..so,respect ..If Audi cant beat stronger,more powerfull models,atleast Audi shown some grunt on entry level cars j/k!

Yeah but I read on a German thread that the quality of the Audi was not good when you look at it in details.

Audi uses a lot of hard-plastic and then spread a big layer of soft-lack on it, so that it feels smooth. But with the time the lack peels and fells at certain places, and a scratch also can be awful...

Even B6 or B7 suffer from that problem, see a lot with peeling soft lack...

Whereas in the Merc, the hard plastic stays hard, but the soft plastic is really a soft material.

May look a bit less good, but it will last.

I also saw a pic with someone having the grey plastic surrounding the GPS in the hand...not well mounted, not really solidly built...

For the Beemer I don't know.

(And Good God does the Audi looks old already...)


Mercedes should quick get rid of these old cdi, it is just stupid how outfashioned they now are!

The cars are so close to each other,only 20 points separates the first from last,would like to see that test again with C's new engines please!

I too have seen alot of this. My parents got a 2002 A4 and the interior is really nice but in some places, that has to endure alot of wear, there is quite a bit of the upper layer coming of - revealing the hard, dull plastic beneath.

Well, as we all know quality feel (Audi is really good at this) and quality (Audi is good here) are different things all together...
