Default C350 ~~~ 06 330

I've pretty much decided between one of the two. Seems like the C350 has the BMW beat in terms of HP and torque according to some write ups, but my friends are saying that the C in C-Class stand for CRAP. I have no experience with the benz so hopefully a few of you owners can chime in.

I'd still take a Bimmer over a MB, just leave out the iDrive & SMG.

I read a review on the new C350 and it looks like a darn sweet ride, especially with the six-speed manual. It's faster than the new 330 too.

my friend had a c230 kompressor. it was a good car except for the electrical issues (fixed under warranty). good gas mileage, very cheap insurance (surprisingly).

my sister has an e46 330ci. she has no complaints and so far has had zero problems (an '03).

good cars on both sides IMO. if you want luxury, i say benz.

Just between those two cars, I'd go with the C350, for the 330 is way too common.

im a big fan of the c class, now that they have a nice motor aside from the amg and also a stick it seems to be the enthusiasts choice, slap the amg sport package on their and enjoy

I'd get a new 330i. IMO it's more of a drivers car.

I'd only get it with a MT preferably with the performance package when it's offered.

IMO 3-series leads everyone else follows.
