bmw vs. benz vs. jag

[ghosthunter]

please help...say for instance you have 1.5-1.7 budget and this can get you either of the following :

2001-2002 benz c-class
2003-2004 318i msport
2002-2003 jag x-type

which would you buy? thanks!

Initially I was attracted by the jag but the novelty of having a "rare" car will quickly wear off after a few months of owning one.

Given that, I would either go for the benz or bmw. If you are going to drive the car, get the bmw. If you will be driven, get the benz.

Exclusivity - jag
Comfort - Merc
Sporty - BMW
It all comes to what type of person you are.
For me, it's C-class, 203 chassis nito. Kasi "COMFORT MODE" ang driving habits ko, especially kung kasama si Wifey and the kids, sila yung auxilliary brakes ko when I'm beginning to drive sporty, may vocal high speed alarm ika nga.
For 1.7M, sobra na yan for the selected year models.

i guess i'd have to eliminate the jag then...
what if i intend to use the car as my daily service (commonly, bahay-school-bahay)?

i'm currently using an suv and i wanna get back to a european sedan sana for my next change..

thanks!
