QUOTE (Ronald_chan @ Feb 8 2012, 11:16 AM)  Hello everyone!! I'm 24 this year and am looking at getting my first continental car! (Yes!!! FINALLY after 6 years of Jap cars....) Just want to find out... which brand do you think suits someone my age most? I'm male and looking for a car between 150 - 250k. I'm torn between a Merc, a BMW and an Audi..... Any recommendations? Generally, what do you guys think of people who drive these brands? Haha, nice try, buddy, nice try.
