• Mercedes-Benz 190E - Compact Luxurious! 20 Jan 2017 (Forum)
  Yes, Mercedes-Benz got the first mover’s advantage in this class of cars, but even after BMW and Volvo brought in their iterations, and Audi bringing in the A3 recently, the three-pointed star continues to shine bright. The A-Class racked up 400 bookings within the first 15 days of its launch.
• Today's test drive 19 Apr 2015 (Forum)
  A BMW 320i GT x drive and it left me underwhelmed. Excellent interior and very well equipped, but it had a manual gearbox which was very notchy, a heavy clutch and it required far too many revs to prevent stalling, but it does auto start if you do stall so they have thought about it!

• What car should I buy? 4 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  Hi all, We're looking to buy a new car. Currently driving a 1.4 Petrol Peugeot 206, but looking to upgrade. I recently had a BMW 1 Series 2.0 diesel for a month, and loved the drive & power - so ideally looking for something with similar power but that looks a bit nicer than the BMW. We want a 5dr Hatchback. Our budget is £15-18k - obviously spending less is nice, but willing to spend top end of budget for something special.

  Salesman feigns indifference and tells me blue motion is incredibly rare but offers me base spec golf with steel wheels. Is it just me? WTF. I go into my local bmw dealer and he discounts a 118d by 2k,offers me 1k more for my car than anyone else and a 4 year pcp deal £50 less than audi, volkwagen, skoda. TL.DR Never considered a bmw before, are they as good as a skoda vrs crd
