all avail w/ stick which 1 is most fun to drive ?? i think
cost to own of
g would be significantly less. reiability of benz a question for me, altho
mb supposedly making major effort to
rectify the situation. build quality of mb of 60s 70s 80s and early 90s was a selling point . now it is a liability

 

How many more times are you going to start a thread asking the same questions over and over and over.....

Click me for an example

Instead of constantly asking get off your lazy a$$ and drive'em all yourself.

 

<smile> I guess in the three months of asking that question you have probably found a plethra of answers!

 

best advice would be to definitely test drive them all and see which you like best. G35 is a great car. nice performance, great handling, great value and reliable. i've had 3 maxima's and the infiniti I30t and all were great with no problems. i have 6,600 miles on the benz now and it's been perfect. although i haven't driven the C350, i'm sure the increase in power is very noticeable. couldn't really feel too much of a difference in driving the C230 and C320 however. the 330 i had was the best machine i've owned yet. nice performer, excellent handling and after putting 50,000 miles in it over 3 years, it was in service only 3 times only for oil changes. new 330 with more horsepower and improved handling should be a blast. my bmw was definitely the most fun driving car i've had the opportunity to own. my benz sports suspension is alittle soft and sloppy. good luck and let us know what you decide

 

If that is what you believe, you should consider the other choices. As for which one is more fun to drive, that is like asking who makes the better softdrink, Coke or Pepsi. Different people will have different answers and what some think is fun may not be fun to you.

 

I've driven variations on all those and I'd say get the E90! The ULTIMATE driving machine

 

would highly reccomend the new 330ci/i
reasons..

1. c350 changing styles within a year or 2 (would perfer this, if the style would last a few more years =T)
2. I had a G35 sedan...very powerful...but quality is extremly BullSh** compared to MB or BMW. the interior is just so shi**y.
3. Never owned a BMW but sat in my friends 04 330ci...this car is really...georgeous... I should had gotten the 330ci.
4. BMW 3series's lineup is BRAND NEW and that sytles not gonna change withing a few years...be the first ones to have...
5. BMW is "drivers" car, hookin up wise, BMW has more aftermarket parts than MB does...but G35 has too...but dont forget...G35s are everywhere on the street...the resale values gonna go low

 

in my neck of the woods, all 3 of these cars are everywhere but BMW still seems to be on top in terms of resale. it does suck that there is not too many options in the aftermarket for MB.

 

omg, you sold the lexus too !

 

It doesn't look like it on the PC but it sure did on the Mac

 

No way! That thing is as smooth as butter

 

I would choose G35 for power/performance. C350 for interior and ext. looks, performance is pretty good too. I never drove any BMW's before am i missing out?

 

I never drove a real BMW lol I drove an X5 3.0 and sat in a 330ci, 325i, and 540i...as my friends would say... they BMW is more of a Drivers Car than my C320 or my G35 that i sold...any they said my gf's volvo S40 is g@y lol

 

absolutely. BMW really is a true drivers cars. you feel more involved and more connected with the road. Mick1 said it best. depends on what your idea of fun is. i enjoy cruising in my C230, but that's primarily what it is. a luxurious cruiser. BMW's handling is where it really shines. it's hard to describe, but i was sometimes amazed at what this car was actually capable of doing. my friends use to call it the rollercoaster b/c of how fast and hard we'd take turns and the car would just stay confidently planted. one of my cousins has an 04' M3 now and i feel that the only step up from there in handling would be a porsche (without going into exotics). truely an excellent machine. you do sacrifice some comfort, but the constant smile on my face would always help me overlook that

 

i'm a lover of all cars and i really like the looks of the new S40. never driven a volvo however, but i especially like it in black

 

Go for an e46 330i performance package, AWESOME car!!!!

Bangle ruined the e90, IMHO, but that was to be expected.
C350 sport is nice, but will never handle as well as the 330i. (Drove one last week.) It's prettier, tho! =)
G35 is a decent car, but the interior is lacking, and just doesn't feel to be in the same league as the german cars.
