I'd safely say such an educated opinion has come from owning both marques at some stage. What Mercedes did you own at one stage?

no you haven't. If you did I would spend a lot of time putting together an essay.
Look, I'm surfing the webz actively since 1998 (my first contact with internetz was in about 1996 when it was very, very basic) and I'm on various forums for many many years...
I have learned one thing... there is no point whatsoever to endlessly argue with somebody on the internet because at the end of the day it doesn't absolutely matter who thinks what. I have my opinion, I drive an e30 every single day and wouldn't change anything about it. Definitely wouldn't get a merc instead of an e30.

Of course it's a great craic! They are very nice to drive. E30s are not built for long journeys but you have some serious fun in them.
Tbh I can't imagine myself to have same amount of fun in any Merc from that era that is for the same money as E30.
Hitting apexes in something like this? No thanks.

I would always have said the majority of b8 A4's are driven by reps but that's not the case at all really when you look at it. However the amount you see being driven by middle aged woman normally with kids in the back they must be becoming the family car of choice. I would go as far to say you see more driven by woman then men maybe that is just in kilkenny.
I suppose it's still a step up from the Megane where the average driver was a 70 year old :pac: so I am back to the 30-45 age bracket

Define middle age I've seen a few different characters driving Audis and it would put me off buying one but I might have went to Audi Waterfords open day today 0 -

If you're prepared to quote from another thread into a new one, that really says a lot
You wouldn't catch me in an E30. I shall stick to my Mercs and E34. The E34 is the bee all and end all compared to the E30, a mere shadow to the E34. And never again, I'll take a Merc any day over a BMW

Lots of face painting for the kids, Beat 102-103 were there aswell with the Beat fleet, the Q7 is beautiful but I still love the XC90
P.s 30's is not middle aged :P I'm in my 30's :P0 -

But many B9 A4's there that's all that matters :pac:
Ah yep I would probably say mid 40s is probably more middle aged category but you know when you are 22 everyone older than 30 is ancient :pac: I have the opposite problem in work everyone that doesn't know me thinks I am a student and then you get this real shock look in their face when you tell them your actual role I have even had the odd person think I was actually taking the piss making a joke out of it :pac:0 -

Not sure if this should be in the "Today I did something to my car" thread.....
Anyway, this happened a family members car a few days ago. Pic of when I polished it last.
Was going like clockwork, 225k miles on it, not missing a beat!
Thankfully nobody injured (how, I don't know!)

What is says is that I am busy so I didn't reply straight away and because the previous thread was full I took 1 minute to transfer and amend all that text. Something really bothers you about me am I right?
E34s are big cars ... there is extra weight there when compared with E30. E30 will be much quicker than E34 if they both have the same engine. Nobody uses E34s for rallying. For obvious reasons.
This is a merc I wouldn't mind driving:

I definitely learned 2 things:
1. cannot multiquote after the thread has been closed.
2. cannot multiquote on mobile version of boards.0 -
