I have thoroughly studied both cars and am torn. Anyone else wresetle with this?

I spent time on this issue before buying the Bimmer.

I thought the new C class were stunning....

Until I drove one, a C320 with sports pkg. The ride was ok (not in the 3 series class, though), the throttle response sluggish and worst of all, the thing got quite blown around on I95 on a windy day. My Honda handled the interstate just fine.

I also didn't find the seats all that great, but the execution of the interior was pretty nice. Very nice, indeed (I found the offset steering wheel annoying, though).

I went with the 3 and don't regret it. I think MB has to work on the C a bit more, but so much of this car vs that car is subjective, so....

I don't know what to tell you to do.

Ed
