Honestly, I never thought of getting a C coupe before (mostly because of the small engine and the hatchback makes the car look really small. But after I heard about the discount MB is (or was) having, I went to see and test drive it. I loved it. I was surprised by the space in the back seat, and the supercharged engine is great. Before I would say, if I had the money, I'd get the Z4 or TT but now, I don't regret one bit. I love everything about the C coupe.

depends on what you value most. If you like sportier handling and enjoys driving then Z4 or TT 225 are better choices. Or wait for the TT V6 to arrive next year. It will be about $5k more than the TT 225 but it has lot more power and DSG gearbox standard. TT 180 coupe only comes with FWD so it doesn't handle as well but still very decent. Plus you do realize TT 180 has only auto gearbox right... a lot of people didn't know...
If you have need for backseat and decent trunk, C coupe is a good choice but it doesn't drive as nice as the other 2. BMW 325Ci is probably the other car I would suggest... great handling and sports car like drive with decent back seat and trunk.
The 230K coupe looks the part but really isn't that much fun to drive compare to my Audi (with sports package) or BMW (no sports package).

and for the 4 seaters and bigger space, it really dun matter, coz i got 2 sedans at home, so thats y i am thinking of a 2 door car, won't matter if 2 or 4 seats, so thats wut i am stuck at...
for the C320 coupe, it should be the lowest price of those 3, but for driving, lookin car, Z4 and TT both r not bad...so i really couldn't make up my mind yet...

get a TT. The Z4 is just drop dead ugly IMO. Or..... Wait for the 04 SLK which should be appearing in most MB dealers in a couple of months. THAT should be interesting.

you should go and drive all the cars and really think about which one YOU like... it's gonna be your car and there's not really a car that's "better" for everyone so other people's opinions shouldn't really matter that much. just get whatever car you like best... i got a c240 partially cause a bunch of my friends told me to get it, but now i sorta want a g35c...

none of the above.
With a new BMW already, do the right thing and buy a classic car. May I suggest a BMW 3.0 CSi? It oozes class like nothing they make today, and it's probably going to be cheaper too. Or if you want to try a Benz, maybe a 230 SL Pagoda.
Remember - classic cars do not depreciate. That alone makes them worthy of consideration.

It depends on your needs. The C320 coupe is the best everyday car. It has enough zip, handles well, and you don't see them on every corner. If you want the two seater, I'd get the BMW.

If you wan,t way different, try the new S60 AWD Volvo 300 hp and selective suspension, sedan or wagon, test drove one and they are fun..... HI tech............

I think u should expand your options and start looking at the G35. Its a sweet car, good quality, much more power, less headaches than benz and bmw will ever give u. Either way good luck and let is know what u chose

Eventhough I am a benz fanatic. But on your choices, I will go with BMW Z4. I test drove it. two thumbs up. you should test drive all the cars then choose for yourself because different person like different things. GOODLUCK
