That's the point. A V6 is much more better than this turbocharged engine in the a4. i drove this one in the tt, it's not bad, but you never can compare this with a v6 engine!

Take the Benz! The stability of value is also better at the Merc as far as i know.

Well firstly i think they both very good cars.
I own a c220cdi and i have driven a c280 also as well as the new a4.
In my opinion their is only one choice the c300.
My reasons are i feel the c class looks much fresher and more dynamic i feel the looks off the a4 is just like a facelift of the previous model.Interior the c class is built brilliantly my car is over a year old and touch wood no problems and the interior is solid and easy to use as for drive the c lass is a beutifull ride plus you will get a 7g gearbox if you go auto its awesome

My opinion is overall i would take the c by far...

the a4 is a slightly bigger car and the boot is awesome and yes i love those led lights ......
Also i think the interior a4 is not too great.in terms off quality i prefer the previous a4 interior.

but the c for me anytime................

Good luck with which ever you choose and by the way welcome to the forum....

A4 with that spesific engine!

A4 design can be interesting if you have
let's say:
White car
Black rims
Opensky
Xenon
S-line exterior
Brown or red interor

then A4 will be a hot shot.

If you want that all black black black
Go for the Mercedes.

But agian with that engine in the A4 with quattro and S-line
OMG

I'm not a big fan of the interior of the C (worst of the three for me), but the exterior more than makes up for that when I compare the A4 with the C-class....I just don't like the A4 much. It looks like a bad looking A5.

lol not much love for the A4's exterior I see.

It's understatedly elegant and the front end is quite aggressive. However it is a bit too evolutionary and the A5 is substantially more eye catching and attractive. The daytime running lights are this cars saving grace but Audi really needs to break their current 'mold' rut. You can only rely on fancy exterior lighting so much.

The colour of my car is quite sublime though.

new Audi A4 isnt an ugly car but compare to C-class with integrated star and the facelifted E90, the design isn't as good as them.

But A4 has better price and you get a very good car for the money.

Anyone who thinks the A4 interior is better then the C has got to be kidding. Once I have both our cars absolutely clean I plan to take some photo evidence showing the many areas the Benz interior literally blows the A4 away.

Don't be fooled by magazines who have developed this perception that Audi interiors are, without fail, class leading. The new A4, my very own car, is clearly a step back from the previous model.

Sit in the A4 and the C for yourself and pay close attention to the DETAILS! If you poke and prod you will also note a difference in material density used on the doors and dash. The C may have a slight 'sheen,' which does it no favours when an all black interior is selected, but it is clearly the more solid feeling and durable. The Audi, which doesnt have this 'sheen' picks up finger marks like you wouldn't believe.

Scathing but very honest, props to you. Like we've said many times, you can't judge the quality of an interior by just looking at the pictures. You gotta feel it, see it in real life, smell it.

I would still go for the Audi. I think the interior looks better, even though people are saying the quality isn't as high as the MB's. I also think the exterior looks better than the MB.

My opinion? Audi looks dull, boring, unimaginative; been there done that!

If it's not about money, a black C320 CDi Avantgarde/AMG Pack will do perfect.

Of course, there's a FL 330d in Montego blue, M Pack to consider as well...

Jokes aside, in any case i'd go for a Benz, 'cause Audi is dull and boring. Period.
