E200 vs 320i

[SpeedMerc]

Have anyone driven both current model cars how is the pick up like...

Any problems for the E200 that has been uncovered so far.

Not a balanced comparison. Either compare E200 with 520i or C200 with 320i.

I drove the pre FL of both cars before in 2008, honestly speaking i prefer the E200K i used to drive.. never been a fan of beemer although i frequently drives my dad's 320i and FL 523i. hate it always when driving them. just my humble opinion tho.. why not just test drive both of them and see which 1 you like more

P.S. IMO W204 chassis is the best !

I drove a 3 series and switch over to merc recently. In my humble opinion, if you like:

1) Fast

2) Precise and challenging driving

3) "Younger" feel and look

then bmw is for you. There will be not much issue during the first 3 years of ownership. But alot of ppl get frust over pml though ....

But personally i still prefer the comfort of merc and like to slow things down abit which is why i switch over to merc.. Hope my 2 cents help

You made the right choice

Benz is more comfortable compared to bmw..

But nowsadays, Benz are not really slowing down compared to olden days...

Frankly i believe its the driver and not the car only ...Merc also have very fierce drivers and cars ..just had a "great experience" just now at AMK av 1....somemore lady driver ...hai....but nevertheless i love the comfort and stylish look...though some might say my W211 looks retro ..hahahhahah

Cheers

IMHO... 320 is a slightly attas BENG CAR.... nothing different from a WRX or EVo... all will look very ugly after modding... C180 and C-coupe is so much different... you can mod all you like but the BENG caption will not fall on the car or the driver.... that's e CLASS different....

in terms of handling i would go for the 3. to be frank. the w212 is a clumsy handler..

in terms of comfort its the E. image wise better.

the new 3 has very nice interior and good driving dynamics- my choice between the 2

choice depending on wat u looking for- the younger/keen driver will prob prefer the 3. the sedate mature gentleman- the E

Not a fair comparison though TS. E200 vs 520 would be a closer comparison.

yeah..the 5 handles way better too. only gripe about the E is the clumsy handling, the prob is prob in the chassis, something that even a susp mod may not fix..TS was asking about pick up? similar specs on paper. 320 feels faster though.. if concerned about pick up, just get the 3, the E is not the right car. 328 lagi best
