ATS vs 335 vs C350

Had to buy the wife a new car. She had a 10 accord and we drove the 13 accord sport. Guess what? It's an accord. Felt the same, drove the same, just a upper level cheap Japanese car. nothing special, horrible power, no real refinement or luxury but that's ok at the time because she had nothing to really compare it to.

Then we drove the Buick Verono. Wife hated it. I had an 12 regal GS 2.0 turbo, huge brembos (same size as 370z), adjustable suspension, nice interior but really lacking in the power department with the tanny computer killing power whenever it wanted. A lot to be desired and not a GM fan at all. The ats can't be far behind.

Then the Kia optima. Nicer inside than the two but again no power and horrible motor sounds! Really cheap!

Then a BMW 325i. Wife's obsessed with BMW. Always has been but never drove one. The inside she liked, power was ok but everything that guy in the vid said was true!! Drive it and you're done with it.

Then the c300. She loves everything! Everyday she tells me she loves it. The ride, the power, the MOTOR SOUNDS WOW! (Then I put an exhaust mod on it!!!!), the interior, I could go on and on. Then her mom got rid of a 07 c280 and got an 11 e350. Then she had a leak fixed last week under warranty and they gave her a 13 glk350. Needless to say she loves them all. Merc 4 life!

If you were only buying one though, the merc would still have to be it from what I know about GM, trannys, etc. plus he did say stuff everything into the amazing merc package. All around its the best DD since no one will buy a ats to carve canyon roads 24/7.
