My wife's c300 lease is coming up, we can't decide if we should stick to sedan or get a small SUV.

We already have a 7 seater, so this will be a daily driver with child seats in the back and occasional grocery hauling.

We are all over the place
1. GLC300 - natural transition to the C300
2. E-300 - the interior looks awesome
3. The new X3 - MB dealership is better, and not sure if the ride will be as comfortable as the MB
4. The new RDX - updated interior really looks good - great value
5. Accord

Anything from VW worth considering?

the c300 is comfortable to drive, look great and enough power.
Comfort, luxury and all the latest safety features would be the top priority.

One of my clients has a GLC300 diesel and looking to switch to a 450 since she feels the 300 lacks rear space.

RDX

Never_Enough · 03-22-2018, 03:37 PM

CX-5 or CX-9

VW’s new CC replacement looks very nice.

E-300 is impressive even in base model and the BMW 530 can look very elegant when spec’d out.

Accord’s if you stay away from the low-profile tire shod models the accord can handle poor broken city streets and are also great long distance travel cars that are economical.

There is a new RDX coming out and I really like the AWD capability of these cuv Honda’s, but I like sedans and sport cars better then cuv/suv’s.

Merc E300 or GLC300
OR
BMW 340i or X3

I think the Arteon is still a ways off for the US. What about an A4 Allroad or the upcoming Volvo V60? I personally prefer wagons to sedans or SUV's, but my wife's convinced I'm nuts.

Cadillac CTS-V Wagon....Boom

Bt12 · 03-23-2018, 06:21 AM

VW GTI/R before an accord.... kind of hard to tell how much space you actually need. 1 kid? 2 kid 5 kids? Lots of grocery?

Personally I’d go for the raptor lol

Lightly used Macan.

Depends on your fuh-nances and financial goals in life
