shovel leaner 7,650 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 If money is not an issue it’s got to be a Mercedes c class. Audi or BMW ? There are pros and cons for both , you really can’t say one is better than the other . It all boils down to which one you like the look of , I personally think the BMW is better looking in an estate . There is a good reason Mercs are more expensive . The build quality and handling and performance beat the competition. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavross 15,237 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Like it’s been said there’s pro and con for both, the older Audi’s auto box isn’t very good where as the merc auto box is bulletproof, if you are looking at diesel the Audi engine is better than the merc, I’ve done a couple merc’s that have had turbos fail and blown all its oil into the DPF if this happens you can kiss goodbye to about £3000 or invest in a box of matches and a gallon of petrol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 15,237 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 I should of said the merc’s were quite high mileage and people tend to put the wrong oil in them still thinking it the good old days when you just got petrol oil and diesel oil, starving components of oil, this is the case with all modem engines, we have some stuff that runs on 0/20 now that looks like cooking oil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kanny 20,420 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 If you go merc or bmw you will regret it come winter especially if your rural ,unless you go for a 4wd model if you go Audi then go Quattro ..Forester all the way for me I love mine they are greedy but I don't do many miles . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
