Can't speak for a C250 but the 328i is a great car imo. That turbo-4 is light, powerful and efficient. The steering isand it doesn't handle as well as previous years but it's a very well balanced car with a lot of tech for not that much money. I can't imagine taking a Prius over it. Damn, I'd just feel like a bytch.
I'd push a scooter before a Prius, but that's just me.
I got one of these as a loaner when I dropped my car off at the shop. Not too bad at all...but I'm sticking with my tuned 35 for now, its just a car that does alot of things well although it might not do anything "great" if that makes sense.
I was thinking of going 911 next. I remember you said in a thread you were coming from a 911 to a 335i (I cant remember if it was you). This isn't the first time I've of people doing this, whats the motivation? Better daily driver?
