BMW 320
Audi A4 1.8T
Merc C class 200 Kompressor

Which to choose and why?

The BM', it is a much better car, ignore the anti-BMW bias and read the magazine tests to back this up.

 

IS300 or IS200 with supercharger,or even the very very special only 2 in existance IS430(V8 )

Anyone notice a pattern here
Reason-slightly more understated than a BMW(used to work for them so know the score),more reliable than above vehicle and finally you actually get let out of junctions in one.
Do like a Audi myself but have heard of poor customer dealings when buying and servicing.

Oops forgot about the Merc,very poor reliability as a brand as well.Check JD Power or What Car to back up that fact.

Thanks for the replies. I went on 4car.co.uk, checked out the users reports - all 3 of these cars seem to suffer from a suprising level of unreliability, from breakdowns to rattles. Another common theme for all three marques appears to be poor dealer service. So, decided the Accord 2.4 exec is worth a look. Less badge image, but reliability and for the price is loaded with kit that costs 000's extra on the other cars. Slightly faster than the equivalant premium models to....
Anyone diven/own the new Accord?
