2013 Mercedes c300 or 2013 Audi a4??
Ok so I have the c class and someone I know bought a 2013 Audi a4. I know this is an MB website but, seriously and honestly is the Audi comparable to us? Give me you're bias opinions.

Honestly, if you need/REQUIRE AWD, Quattro is the world standard. So, that's out of the way...
The Audi A4 is definitely in the same league as the C Class. I looked at the updated 2013 A4 when I got my 2013 C. I would have been totally happy with the Audi, it's just that I've had many Audis and never had an MB. I wanted to try to MB and I know I made the right choice for me. And I also feel that the A4 has grown too large. It is no longer small. The C is still a small car. I'm sure that will change with the W205![Frown](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
But no one should ever discount VW/Audi. The Audi A4 Premium Plus with NAV and comparably equipped to my C250 cost MORE. There was a time when Audi's were cheaper....

Thanks for all of your input guys. Well I use to drive a BMW m3 then traded that in for an Audi q7 family car I literally cried lol then had a Lexus is300 as a commuter then traded that in for a MB but I was also eyeing the Audi a4 but to be honest I'm
Glad I got my Benz instead, but it still
Doesn't drive like the m3
but I needed all wheel drives.

I don't like how it looks I like the more aggressive look the e63 I don't know something about it doesn't catch my attention. Besides I don't need a fast car anymore I'm
Happy with it. Thanks for introducing me that though

The a4 may look sexy with the refresh but that vw 2.0t only has 211 hp and sounds like a lawn mower. 2013 c300 4matic is a 3.5 v6 and has 256 hp and probably cost the same where I live.
That 2.0t has a lots of problems

The Audi made my cross shopping list but didnt make the top 3.
Reasons I didn't buy one:
1-I would never buy a FWD audi.
2-I had more power in my previous car (I wanted to make my next car faster).
3-A Turbo is more to maintain (I plan to keep this purchase for 7-10 years).
4-The W204 will be the last C Class you can buy that is made in Germany (so to me it was perfect timing).
5-My wife and I wanted to try a car with panoramic moon roof (so pretty much all the other cars lost on this one).
Reasons I want one:
1-The transmission (8-speed auto or 7-speed DC)
2-A Turbo is easy to tune (more bang for the buck).
3-Interior is always top notch.

If I were to buy a A4(vw) I would either spent the extra and get a S4(real Audi) or smack myself in the head for not getting a S4.
1. DSG (s tronic transmissions)
2. Superchaged v6 has about 400hp (333hp is underrated)
3. optional sports LSD!!!
4. Better interior (bucket seats, real carbon fiber etc)
5. Better exterior (quad extaust, S body kit, grill mirror etc)

I much prefer our 2008 C300 Sport over our 2009 Audi A4 Quattro. The Audi is a bit roomier and rides a little smoother but overall, the build quality and attention to detail is much more comprehensive in the Benz. While many people deride the interior quality on the pre-facelift W204s, it is really more the design being a bit Spartan but not the materials.
