Whatever kind of useful information comes out of this I don't see it, if your only as good as the car you drive then perhaps you need to be a better person to begin with

btw, I think the new Audi is goodlooking, its more aggresive than the overly round style of prior. Makes the old design look very old. The new a3 is very goodlooking imho. BMW design is quirky and elegant at the same time, but BMW can get away with that, they set the standard.

I had mine regulated. It's 3 seconds slow a day, 21 seconds slow a week and 48 seconds slow a month. Pretty good for a mechanical watch but terrible compared to $5 quartz watch. I must say, I liked it much better when I didn't have it

no doubt Benz has great styling... but other companies too...especially Lexus' new concept.....tell u the truth...I'd rather buy the new IS350 instead of the C350...but...the NEW 3-series...not much a fan of...but am a fan of the old body...the Audi A4s..A3s...they are sexy in their own type...if you want a AWD...go with the Audis Quattro instead of the 4matic... and also...if ur a rice type.... from best rice to least qualified rice.... IS330, A4, 3series, C class... but... dun trash other companies...just be glad that u drivin a car that YOU LIKE

Not to take this way off topics but there isn't an automatic watch that keeps time nearly as well as a quartz and that why all the top manufacturers also offer quartz couterparts to their catalog of automatics. My Breitling isn't too bad at keeping time but its still off a few minutes a month. Even certified chronometers are off by as much as a several seconds a week.

what the hells wrong with people today? ****, if i had any of those cars Id be happy. Ya know not everyone can afford these awesome machines, I think the audi, lexus, g35 and c230 are amazing in their own right. (the BMW needs some work) but i still would enjoy it. Its all about preference, I love mercedes but they arent always the best. NO CAR ever can be, cause one year later something better comes out. So be happy with what you have and stop criticizing other cars that come out that "compete" with yours.


thats my 2 cents

Dont get me wrong the preformance and quality may be better and those cars may be more reliable but I take the Benz any day. Cased Closed
you fail to realize that not everyone buys a car b/c it's the best looking. I love the looks of my C230, but notice now that more people would be checking out my 330 coupe than this car. also, while the C230 looks great, BMW owns it as far as performance and handling. depends what type of car your looking for. I'm not a big Audi or Lexus fan (although i was in love with the A4 UltraSport and would've taken one over the C230 in a heartbeat if they didn't stop production), but Lexus/Toyota is probably one of the most reliable cars on the road. And the G35? That's the only car in it's class that has been able to perform as good as the BMW 330, and in some tests even pulled ahead of it. G35 is a great car for the money. All the C230 has is a great appearance. performance and handling is inferior to it's competitors and let's not forget Mercedes isn't the most reliable car in it's class.
