*Little Sedan BATTLE* (C-class, A4, 3 series...)!










Lots of competitors.......

In not thinking of status or German loyalty, which vehicle could you see yourself in the near future (if not now)?

Also intead of just voting and leaving, please give a detail reason why you picked the vehicle and what advantage it has over the rest. Of course this is an opinion thread so please don't take anthing seriously.

Re: *Little Sedan BATTLE* (C-class, A4, 3 series...)!

Wow, there are alot of good cars in this segment. For me, it came down to the Infiniti G35, the A4 and the C-Class. I picked the A4 because of its clean lines, solid interior look, overall performance and Quattro AWD in its high performance guises. The S4 would be an ideal daily commuter for me in the city, small, but big enough to fit people, with AWD for the winter and plenty of performance.

The C-Class looks aggressive in AMG guise and good performance, but that interior isn't up to par for me, and the Infiniti looks best in the coupe form.

I like it too. The 250 Sport is great, very lovable car but it is pretty pricey though. Around 340k, just as expensive as the Benzo. Offers great handling thoug

I'll take the Audi. Good compromise between sport and luxury, and also perfect because it's got quattro, which I need for these Northeastern winters (it's been snowing all week where I am!)

Re: *Little Sedan BATTLE* (C-class, A4, 3 series...)!

For me:

1. C350
2. 335i
3. G35
4. IS350

The rest really don't interest me. Not sure why, but surprisingly I like the interior of the IS350 the most. The G35 as I've found out is a real looking for a Japanese sedan when you see it IRL. The 335i needs no explanation, clearly the leader here as far as most things are concerned. The C350 in AMG trim just has a look none of the other can match.

Re: *Little Sedan BATTLE* (C-class, A4, 3 series...)!

Ok I have to confess that I really like the new C-class, the exterior. Looks very good in Avantgarde trim. Probably the best package but it comes with a high price.

A4 is old and a replacement is coming soon and I bet it will be the best car in the segment.

I still like 3er but need dark colour to look really good. A swedish carmag tested a 330i to new C350 and drove them on mountain roads and stated the 3er was still the drivers car although the new C-class is closing in. BMW 3er is a perfect mix with sport and comfort, offer a lot from both worlds, so its still my choice. And the 335i is a killer, a lot of performance for the money.

The new G37 is intresting, sounds like it has beaten 3er in driving dynamics and real good around a track. But I get the impression its to much trackperformance instead of everyday practicality.

The others doesnt really intrest me.

So 3er gets my vote and C-class a close second place.
