I think it depends what you want in a car.. to me the BMW is if you want a driver’s car...handling is the best out of the three IMO.

The Merc is more for ride comfort and the interior is posh...maybe also better for long term reliability... a lot of workshops can service a Merc...

The Audi...well i used to really like the Audi. It sits between the BMW and Merc...better handling than Merc and better interior than BMW. But I think BMW and Merch have come out with more interesting products compared to the Audi so I wouldn’t put th Audi top of my list...

At the end of the day, you should drive all three and see which one makes you smile the most....just like buying watches!!

Among these 3 , I would go for BMW 3 series because of the price point (Value-for-money) and I definitely prefer a driver car :)

a mercedes c class would be nice but the f30 bmw is also another sharp looking sporty model. a4 a little boring already if you ask me.

As for me, the best value for money at the moment is the bmw 330e.

This car does has superb road handling and comfort. This is probably the best driving experience car among the 3 if you are looking at a budget of rm250k and below

I would go for C class or 3 series, will not go gor Audi as it is a Front wheel drive car. If new car pick 330e, good power good handling and good fuel consumption, used 3 series can pick 328i. Almost same power as 330e, also very good fuel consumption. C class is better luxury interior and good handling too but slightly underpower C250<328i

I personally own a 3 series. But if you loves luxury interior go for a4 or class, unless you want great handling and good throttle response go for the 3 series

BMW comes with 5 years BSRI (warranty and free servicing).. perhaps the most value car when compare to audi and merc

Also a good discount now due to abolishment of GST

It all depends on you.. you have to test drive all and decide yourself.. i personally own A4 2.0T Quattro i would say it quite a good ride for my daily needs!

I personally prefer a beemer for its driving dynamics but I have to admit that the interior looks rather dated.

My preference tilts towards an A4 2.0 quattro B9. Its just overall more solid than the other two with regards to the interior.

Mercedes C Class - Reliable
BMW 3 Series - Powerful

THe new C200 definitely takes the cake as being the most handsome looking so far. The 3 series just looks too ricer nowadays

Well if you had not gotten a new ride by now, you should prolly wait for the latest launch of G20 3 series. I'd reckon it'll be one of the very best entry level premium sedan in terms of specification in comparison to the other offerings from Germany.

SKIP Audi unless u really like it

Post by: hsnrhashim on July 23, 2019, 07:56:04 AM
Get an Audi if you want to be different. C Class is too common like Civics. 3 Series is too pricey (need to wait for CKD version)..

Driven F30 and now driving F10, i would say I am bias towards the driving and handling of the Beemer.

My colleague is driving the new A4 2.0T now, quite ok in term of handling and power, but the external look is not even comparable to the competitors, interior wise is way better than Beemer but not as posh as Benz.

Another friend is driving a Benz C200, is good for luxury and comfort, power wise need to go at least 250-range and above only can feel it.

Summary:
BMW: good handling, balance power, a driver's car, many 3rd party workshops can service.
Benz: luxury and comfort, ok power, not so driver's car, many 3rd party workshops can service.
Audi: everything in between BMW and Benz, but sucks at after sales and service supports.

Brand perception in Malaysia: Benz > BMW > Audi

BMW F30 drive great but the interior looks plastic and dated compare to Mercs.
Worst are the door and carseat plastic panels

I’ve always been a fan of Mercedes. I’d certainly go with that.
