A person I know has to choose between the three cars. BMW 320i is fully loaded with Xenon and everything for the price he is being offered. For abt a lakh or so more, the Audi dealer is offering him the brand new A4 delivered in June.

the Merc C class at the same price point as the 320i is lacking some features like Xenon.

His usage is more like 90-10 in favour of the city. During the week, he'll be driven around. Only during the weekends will he be driving himself.

He personally likes the looks of the BMW.

I told him to go for the car he likes best as all 3 cars are fantastic and he cant really go wrong with either of them.

I also told him that the Merc is considered to have the best ride quality and the BMW loses out on the ride quality because of the run flat tyres.

Do you guys have any other suggestions ? Any views on the Audi A4 ?

He isnt really keen on a diesel as he says his yearly running will be less than 10k kms.

Another thing is, this person is very clear in his mind. He is going for a car like this for snob value. So, please dont suggest the Teana or the Superb.
