I'm a Merc fan, as to me they're always classy and solid. The C230 Avantgarde is certainly a good looker, with the sports grill and all. But I tested it recently and IMHO as a driver's car, the 325 is still the real deal, especially in Sports guise. :driver:
Keep looking for a good pre-owned 325i Sports, or wait for the facelift, JJ. 6 months passes very fast. You won't regret it. :top:
