Simple: BMW, Audi, or Mercedes?

Postby Stubbedtoe18 » Sat Sep 29, 2007 9:28 am

So which of these three direct German automakers do you prefer?

I respect all the automakers (except for Mercedes' SLK disaster), but it's BMW's all the way since that's what I'm gonna be driving when I get my license.

Where's the "other" option then?

Not saying I'd vote for anything other than the 3 mentioned but variety is the spice of life...

Hmmm... though one...

Mercedes is top quality, that's for sure. My father drives a C220 CDI, my former boss a E280CDI and my aunt drives the previous E280I. I've personally drive all these cars and I was impressed by the quality-feel of the cars. But... I feel they are more for the middle-aged driver. The miss a little edge when it comes to design. It's getting better now withe the new models though.

BMW experience, the 530i my other former boss drove... excellent car, power and handeling, yet I thought the interior felt a bit cheap for the price of the car. An there are just so many bimmers around... anyone drives them...

I have no Audi-experience, so I can only go on looks. I love then new A6 and the A8, well, that's about my dream car if I had heaps of money. Nicely styled, lots of room and discrete...

But if your REALLY ask me... Aston Martin DB9 forever...  ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I'm a bmw man myself, comfort wise they arn't the best, and thats based on drives in both 3 and 5 series, but handling wise, brilliant.
