Hey guys as some of you may know my gf is selling her car and buying a new one. Shes is really stuck in between these two cars. She said she wants a 3 series, but I showed her the new C class and she likes it too, though shes pushing more towards the BMW . She says I made her fall in love with bimmers, lol. But anyways I really like the look on the new C class, but is a though choice. So what do you guys think btw the car is going to be white...

Have your honest opinions.

The 3 Series is still the class benchmark. Mercedes doesn't have an engine to compete with the 335, that one major differentiator aside I think the C-Class is arguably the more rounded car. It is not quite as sporty as the E9X (but still capable in the handling department) but it is more upscale (I think it has the better interior and use of interior space) and it is the more modern car of the two (with the E9X due for replacement). Frankly, this is a car I'd buy based on the deal, absent any obvious deal-breakers either way...

Id say for pure driving performance (and if youre gonna be driving it alot) go with the 335i. If your looking for a little luxury and better Nav interface and conforts take the Benzo!

Honestly I would take her the both dealers on a saturday, then test drive them both, then make a decision!

I test drove the c300, it's smooth I tell you. I can both cars a lot out here a lot, so I would say g for the c300 in my opinion matches a girl more. Room size is pretty cool, smooth car descent horsepower, and nice interior. get the 2 sun roof that shit is sweet and clean i tell you. looks aggressive also.

That exactly what i told her I was gonna do. Take her to test drive both cars, then she picks the best.
