The Benz looks better now. Looks more classy and rich! I'd pick it over the BMW!

hello.
we just got our C200K Avantgarde last November. I'm based in Cebu now and was able to test both cars.
the 3-series was just so bland compared to the C200K.
the Merc offered more features in its package than what the 3-series had.
(i.e. bluetooth phone connectivity, comand system, parking sensors etc...)
which were absent on the 3-series.
the 3-series didnt even have the i-drive system, only back-up sensors, no bluetooth connectivity, no ambient lighting (hehehe) among other things.
drive wise, suspension on the merc is great, handling is also good (hugging corners not a problem), steering is a breeze, plus the onboard computer system is very high-tech (tells you when maintenance is due & other important stuff).
i also noticed the rear legroom in the Merc is a bit bigger than the 3series.
(my size12 feet scraped the B-pillar when disembarking/getting in on Bimmer)
bottomline, more bang for your buck.
just go and see for yourself.
i wouldn't even recommend buying a 3series (that's what the agent told me. hehehe),
if you do want a bmw, go straight to the 5series.
WAY better for just a million more.
also, i agree, as my eyes got used to the C200, i noticed it does look a lot like the rear of the new city. very odd. as with its headlamps and that of a kia rio's! although, you must bear in mind that it took 7 years for them to design and make the W204, so it would be insulting to even just think that they copied it from kia or honda. more believable if they copied it from MB. hehehe.

Well...there's no such thing as a genuinely original mass-produced car anymore. Just bear that in mind

Weakest part of the new C-class is probably the rear styling.
..reminds me of the Honda City.

The trims are named differently depending on where you go. Here's a Phils-US comparison:
Elegance = Luxury
Avantgarde = Sport
but these people have cars so I assume hindi blue collar workers. Pwede naman mag file ng leave :)...
