4. BMW 3 Series GT - I do not like the look at the back.

thanks for the views

 

Its good you mentioned Q50 which uses E250 engine block, we like the car but the driver foot well is very very small, my feet is a tight squeeze switching between the brake and accelerator

What is the most important criteria for your next car?

 

Most important is reliability amongst these brands and maintenance cost

 

of course if you talk about reliability, Toyota wins them all hands down but how about these brands in particular ?

My take is

 

1. Audi- Don't like the interior and the model I sat on the showroom didn't feel as great as I thought.

2. Merc - great interior and exterior, didn't get to drive one. Hearsay more reliable than bmw in the long run

3. BMW 5 - I am bmw biased but I feel the interior is superb only issue is pml is quite stingy on the options and adding any would really drive up cost.

4. Bmw 3gt - great family car if you are fine with the looks. More legroom and boots pace compared to a 5 series, bad resale value however. Heard a dealer had to sell one at cost to clear stock. Hence only consider if you want to hold it for the long run.

5 series for me.

 

I feel that A6 should only be there because of the price.

Nice interior but why pay so much for a Conti for a CVT transmission (which is going to be phased out for Audi) and FWD.

If these are your most important criteria, you might hear more horror story than true blue ownership experience.

 

Go & try out all the respective cars.

This is my view

 

Owned W212 twice and currently F10

 

Hi everyone, have shortlisted to a few models

 

1. Audi A6: nice exterior, drive not bad but i didn't like the interior

2. Mercedes E class: the facelifted much better. Drive not so shiok, interior quality best, most roomy and reliable

3. BMW 5 Series: drive good, high tech idrive, good looking interior and quality, however reliability hear not as reliable as w212

4. BMW 3 Series GT: roomy, agile driving, but interior quality worse among all 5

4. Jaguar XF: nice but changing design soon. Crampy and dislike the touch screen display screen

 

we are not bias against any branding and these models fit our budget. have test driven the XF and yet to test the remaining

No comments on the Jag.

 

But if you want luxury and comfort, go with the Merc.

 

If you want driving pleasure, buy the BMW.

 

If you dunno know the heck you want, buy the Audi :)

BMW with 6 pots> and RWD gives you driving pleasures, it is a preformance car indeed [thumbsup]
