I am looking for a car up to 450€. Although the purchase is not yet immediately at the door (as expected in September), I would like to inform myself well beforehand. I have considered the following models and would need a decision help: Mercedes C-Class W203, I like optically from the outside best, from the inside least, because I have to be satisfied with the VorMOPF model with my budget. Probably consumes the most of all and has the well-known R BMW 3 Series E46 Visually from inside and outside for me in the midfield. If, then probably only a 320er up (because of the steering chain problem) from MOPF (because of axle problems) would be possible. Will be problematic to find a model in the budget, which was not kicked. Audi A4 B6 Optical from outside so lala, from inside with the golf most beautiful, since the most modern. Over the A4 I did not find any real defects, would be very grateful Golf 5 jumps out a bit for enlightenment It’s hard to find one in the budget, mostly high mileage (but more often with a new ZR). It’s also hard to find an engine outside the 1.4r in the budget, don’t think it’s particularly fun. My driving profile: 80% highway, 10% AB, 10% city. I’ll be sure about my mother. Drive about 8,000km/year. Which of the listed candidates would you prefer, according to the budget? What kind of motorization/carrying gear is recommended?
