Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is good to buy a BMW GT3 LL, Mercedes Benz C220 or Mercedes Benz AMG C300?
  • Mercedes Benz AMG C300
Q. I am planning to buy BMW 3 GT or Audi A6?
  • BMW 3 GT
  • 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.
  • Audi a6
Q. Which car is superior BMW 3 Series Prestige or Mercedes C-Class?
  • Mercedes is a better all round car. Its like would you want to marry a sportsperson / ravishing beauty queen or someone who has been a university heart throb and topper with reasonably good fitness.. Mercedes is that all rounder.. BMW is that sportstar
