Had a few from Audi and Benz, so just my 2cents.
Audi
First was an
A5 S-Line. Drove like a dream. Only had 225HP, but as it was my first ever Audi and coming from a Peugeot 508, I absolutely loved it. Never had any issues with it.
Then I upgraded to a
S5 Coupé. The sheer power was extreme. Sound was beastly. It looked gorgeous, both inside and outside (at least in my opinion) and I frequently got a lot of compliments on it.Unfortunately, the brakes started to squeek heavily with the winterr tires on and Audi couldn't fix it in all of the years I had it and just said its an issue with the S5. Extremely disappointing for a completely new and expensive car. That issue alone made me enjoy it waaaay less than the A5 overall. I hated driving during colder months.
Both cars:
Benz
So that issue made me swich to Benz for the last two cars. As parking is a nightmare where I live, I wanted something smaller, but with similar raw power and sound as the S5.
I got the new
A35.
Absolutely dream of a car. The black rims, the powerful engine, the sound. Had it for 3 years and loved every second of it. Parking was a breeze, driving on the Autobahn a blast. The interior was just beautiful and everything worked perfectly. No issues at all. Loved the fact that you could combine comfortable steering, while also having the engine in S+. Only downside: Felt every bump in my asscrack.
Jsut recently switched because I needed more space. I was looking at the X5, Q5 and the GLC. I checked out all, but ended up sticking with Benz and going with a GLC300.
All blacked out, with black rims and AMG package. Only had it for 2 months, so can't really speak on all the nuances, but so far I love it. Feels like a tank, handling is incredible and better than all 3 cars before, looks beautiful, very spatious, the upgraded interior is beautiful and I love all the gadgets that come with it. I have to say, I do miss the sound of the a35 sometimes, but it's something I can live without.
Overall I enjoyed the Benz cars more.
