Re: BMW 320i vs Mercedes C180 (1.6)
no overtrade, we just took the discount upfront to offset the final price of the car. but because he has a special indent color and seats (which is just $1000 more in terms of OMV), my friend paid $15k more.
anyways ppsl is f@cked up. what they offered me for my prev ride i sold on sgcarmart for 18k higher.

Re: BMW 320i vs Mercedes C180 (1.6)
Was in the same position as TS a few months ago.. But was comparing c200 to 320. Was very close to signing on the line for the 320 for its value and revvy engine.. Tested the 323 as well, but strangely, the 320 and 323 felt about the same to me.. Recently drove the 318, which was a courtesy car, that is much worse than the c180 in terms of engine power.. In the end, i decided to go test drive the a4 1.8T.. and now, i'm a proud member of vagsg.. :nehnehhh:
the a4 had the best interior, 'dynamic' mode on the audi drive select felt better than the 320 in 'S' mode, and price was reasonable as well. I got the ambition trim with the beautiful LED lights.. Go test drive it.. u'll be hooked by its quality cabin and drive.. my OMV was about 40k if I'm not wrong. Anyway, how much is the 320 professional going for now?

in auto and comfort mode, probably sounds a bit rough.. but the moment 'dynamic' is switched on, the car is totally different! I was really sold when my SE switched the car to dynamic mode. I know that i drive it in dynamic probably 10-20% of the time, but when i feel like it, at least i know the car can be changed to drive differently.. When I drove the 320, I had to constantly leave it in S mode..
and there's the added benefit of being able to chip up the car when I grow tired of it
until now, i still wonder why i didnt stretch my budget that little bit more for the 2.0T model..

Re: BMW 320i vs Mercedes C180 (1.6)
actually for 320 vs a4 1.8T.. that'll be a little closer.. you'll feel that the 320 corners flatter, but the sound that the 1.8T engine creates in the A4 just pumps adrenaline into ur body.. somehow or rather, the 4bhp that the 1.8T has over the 320 feels much more than that when u're driving it.. could be the torque though..

oh ya.. and that CVT.. during spirited driving, its fine.. I only hate it when I'm reversing.. try it out.. if u think u can live with it, then the a4 is a very complete package. As for FWD, I think its not really a deal breaker if we drive it on Singapore roads.. I don't even take it up north on the NSH..

For RWD, it is easier to a take hi speed corners. The downside is once rear wheel lose traction, u can only pray to whatever.
For FWD, it is very hard to take hi speed corners unless u have a very strong pair of hands. The upside is by lifting throttle, the car will get back inline easier at a lower speed.C3P0;482809 said:

i moved from mazda (fwd) to bimmer (rwd). i still drive the way i use to drive and there is no noticeably change in driving pattern or feeling.
i understand what is fwd and rwd but on a normal driving condition, how and what do you feel differently ?

Re: BMW 320i vs Mercedes C180 (1.6)
precisely.. In Singapore I can't really feel the difference.. Maybe bros who travel up north often might prefer the RWD platform better.. If can stretch, go for the a4 2.0T quattro with s-tronic.. That'll be a hoot to drive after some minor chip up

didn't know A4 was on CVT gearbox. any horror stories on that gearbox?
dynamic driving comes from the ability of the car and setup. you can have dynamic driving even within s'pore roads. i personally love all the highway exit, joined, wide bendy type. powering down on the straight its boring driving in my humble acu opinion.
want you know how your car handles, drive it at Sepang M'sia. no need to push for timing. just enjoy the drive on that worldclass F1 track. you can learn lots about the car. handles and brake point.
