Recently Asked User Questions
Q. I am confused between Mercedes E Class 220d or BMW 5 series. Please suggest me which car is best E Class or BMW diesel variant.
- For self drive, go for BMW 5 Series Luxury Line without any second thought. It’s great for self drive and fully loaded with Remote Control Parking and many other latest features. However you can buy Mercedes E class if you want to sit on back seat.
- Go for 5 series. Great car (Especially 530 d M Sport)- NO Germans can come close to it when comes to driving dynamics.I have this since two years and no complaints.
- Go for the e class
Q. BMW 3GT or Audi A4 or Skoda Superb?
- If we talk about Audi A4, thanks to a smooth diesel engine, the car is comfortable to drive even in the city. The ride quality is also good. It deals with bad roads quite well. Even at high speeds, it remains stable and body roll is well in check. The A4 is one of the better chauffeur-driven cars amongst its rivals as it offers adequate kneeroom, headroom and legroom. On the other hand, the third-gen Skoda Superb simply approves its old recipe of space, pace and grace. There’s practically nothing to dislike about the car, save for a slightly gruff engine note. There’s enough space for five occupants, and the massive 625-litre boot will swallow their luggage whole as well. The plethora of tech is enough to keep a millennial busy, and the engines feel in their element as well. If you have close to Rs 35 lakh to spend on car and are looking at entry-level luxury cars such as the Mercedes-Benz CLA or the Audi A3, we recommend you take a look at the Superb. More than anything, it is phenomenal value-for-money.
- BMW 3GT or A4, unless you are the kinds who sit with their legs up and folded in the rear seat (not too good for circulation, apart from bad car manners) BMW3GT if you are driving yourselves (rear also has generous legroom unlike the Audi A4) but if you are into gizmos and things then its the audi, for pure performance, its the BMW 3 GT
- I preferred GT because of its unique style, tough suspension for p*t holes and uneven roads,relatively better road clearance, no turbo lag,unique engine performance for which BMW is known,overall it's a drive pleasure car for car enthusiasts
Q. I am planning to buy BMW 3 GT or Audi A6?
View More Questions
- If you are driving yourself then you will enjoy the GT, Audi A6 is a good contender but a tamer traditional choice. I picked the GT over the 3 series because the rear legroom (as I had a chauffeur then) it had more legroom than the 5 also. The only trick which becomes evident later is that the legroom comes at the cost of a smaller seat base. So if you are under 5'7" you wouldnt have nothing to complain about, but if you are a larger frame then you are better off in the front seats. Driving pleasure, fuel economy, air conditioning etc are above par in the GT. Running costs I dont know much because I have a complete service package which takes care of everything.
- The BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo will be the last of its kind as the German automobile manufacturer has decided to discontinue the model in the near future. So, this leaves us with the Audi A6 which is also a good option as the car can be had either with a 1.8-litre petrol engine that makes a hefty 192.6PS of power or a 2.0-litre diesel engine generating 192.6PS of maximum power and a peak torque of 400 Nm. The engines come mated to a seven-speed S-tronic transmission and the car gets adaptive air suspension which lets you select between Comfort, Sport and Dynamic mode. adaptive air suspension which lets you select between Comfort, Sport and Dynamic mode.Read more:- BMW To Pull The Plug On 3 Series Gran Turismo Soon - More Luxurious Audi A6 Lifestyle Edition Launched
