Nice car but bad pricing. I would rather buy a E200 kompressor for this price then go for a new C or a BMW 325I which comes for around 31lakhs

Well I think opposite it is not always about Engine power. I think it depends more on how refined the Engine is. If I am not wrong there is or was a model of merc having 1.8 Kompressor Engine. But at the sametime much cheaper accord had 2.4 Engine. But at the same time when we compare merc with BMW I think its in merc's league.

So I wanna make a point here and it is I am Confused.

a little late to comment, but i have owned the 230 for two years now, it is very quick, yet you can drive it smoothly without jerks at crawling speeds in traffic, the ride is nice and its absolutely effortless to drive. which is why my 80 year old father drives it too,( he usually prefers the old 2 litre CRV for its visibility) the bmw no doubt is quicker and is more involving to drive, but you dont always want that, me, i bought it for the silky smooth 7 speed auto and the stereo....
