A6 longer or c class?
i have always admire benz. Never touch the brand before. I came from f10 to a6. Now thinking to try gla, c class or maybe stick to audi n go for q3 sportsback.
E class from 2018 onwards looks ok overall but never driven one before, cant comment.
520 & 523 is very refine. But sick of bm due to oil leak n mechtronic issues

surprised to read the f10 oil leak. I finished 130,000 on my F10 after coe expired without a single major problem, only need to pay for regular maintenance once a year. I tot f10 is one of the best in bm history so far. Before that my 3 series was not as reliable.

you looking for suv? you drove f10 and a6 should be looking for glc at least unless you looking to downgrade.

c class has the new model coming like the mini s class doesn’t come for glc though

depends what you looking for i guess

i was looking at GLC but find the design outdated. It has been around too long already coming to the end of the life cycle. so a new model is in the pipeline and if you buy now sure will regret in the next 1-2 year.

Have thoughts of SUV since so far only driven sedan and hatchback.
The new GLA doesn't look appealing to me on the exterior, the old one looks not bad though the interior abit dated.
But Q3 sportsback looks good though.
Now getting old already, looking for comfort and cruising only.

Get Q5. Q3 a bit small.

Any review on Q3 sportback?
Problem wise still not encounter due to new car, but i heard the driver side door need to slam very hard to close?
Slow pick up due to 1.4? But it's fine to me though....
I've seen the A3 sedan, the latest one, my SA offered me 126k last month... but i rejected.

I like it. wonderful upgrade from the Q2. Q2 really entry-level.

i do feel it is slow. haven't tried dynamic mode.

yes need to slam door hard. a few times closed but actually still not fully closed.

New A6 got soft-closing......
