[?]Trying to decide between C230 coupe-6sp manual or BMW 320i sedan. Both are RWD and $34000-35000.00 canadian.[^]I don't know which is more reliable,seems in other MB forums Mercedes has fallen in this area since 1999[]Any advice would be helpful. Only options I would order are wood trim (charcoal cinnamora) and leather wheel and shift knob.
The cars I owned in the past were Mustang GT's.
I want a change but not sure which is better choice.

get the c-class coupe!, it's not only faster and looks better than the 320, but i think it has a better gas milage, i think~, its really up to you drive both vehicles first and decidw which ride confort you like best. IF YOU can get a good deal with the bmw 320 then go with that. BWm aren't dat bad vehicles. so either one would be a good choice, just decide how much you want to pay.. LOOK for which one has a better price.

BMW offers the better stickshift, Mercedes the better auto.

The 320 is a small six, smooth but not really powerful. The Kompressor offers a zestier (but also somewhat less cultured) ride.

What else? Yeah - I don't like the rear end of the Merc coupe, but that you can decide for yourself.
