I'm in the market for a luxury compact after the wifey gave her go-signal. This will become my daily drive. After driving SUVs for eight years now, it's a breath of fresh air to be back driving a sedan again.

I went to Lexus, Cats and Autoallee and test drove the following cars- IS350 F sport, the new MB C200 and the BMW 318d SE. Each of the cars have their own strengths and now I'm having a hard time what to eventually choose. I like the driving dynamics of the BMW, the power of the IS350 and the comfort of the C200. The cheapest is the 318d with its 200k discount (2.79m) with the Benz the most expensive (3.5m). Features-wise the IS had the most tech. The Benz has the biggest cabin space and the largest trunk.

What's your opinion guys?
