Mercedes C class vs. BMW 3 series

[MattyMatt]

Agree, the 2.5 is a bit small, bit it will still move. The room is comparable to a 700 series, and the Mazda 6 has a better look IMO

The 2018 6 due out in a couple months,includes the turbo 2.5T. Was totally hoping to see it come to the CX-5 as well. If and when it does,I may trade...lol

to make it worth it, can't be stock. gotta get performance package to make it feel more like an m3

I actually kind of agree with this


Get something more masculine like a wrangler or an SUV

The upkeep costs on Benz and bmw not worth it at all

I agree and that's why I got rid of both travel about 30K miles a year to and from work....Expensive mantience and expensive gas, Premium

[Greenbacks]

For me BMW makes the better looking vehicle opposed too Mercedes

 

[CarolinaKid]

I'm new car shopping too. Looking hard at the 2018 Audi A4 Ultra.

I used to work at the plant in Bama where all the Benz C classes are made. Not a fan.

Mazda 6 sport. Nicer than both, and probably 10k cheaper and a much better ride

I bought a brand new 2015 Mazda 6 for my commute to work and it's a nice little car (I drive a pickup or SUV for non-work stuff). I love that it gets almost 40 MPG and I'm not a car snob by any means but it's nowhere near a BMW or Mercedes C class. I actually find the ride a little tiring and you can tell they skimmed on some of the features (and I have leather, etc). That said I also don't like the ride of the BMW 3 series anyway and would never own one.

Between the Mercedes C class and the BMW to me hands down the Mercedes wins.

I ended up going with the BMW 3-series. 328i Turbo w/ M-Sport package.

I love it... Very happy with my decision. I still like the outside looks of the Mercedes a little bit better, but this thing drives so much better
than the Mercedes.

This is the exact car I bought:

I bought the same car 5 months ago 328i sport package. Got the space grey color I drove the Mercedes before buying it and couldn’t wait to get out of it. Its a lot of fun to drive for sure.
