- B180 SE (w246), A160 (W169) Avantgarde, Porsche 911 (997 C2)
Out A160 (w169) is coming close to its 3 year old birthday so we have been thinking of replacing it. The new A class is too small for our needs so the natural option is the B class. Saying that we had no issues with the A160 and my wife loves it. And as is well equipped ( Avandgarde with few other options) she is not missing any modern toys. What I am personally missing is a bit more power ( massive difference going from my 911 to that) so the B180 petrol should be able to provide a bit more (diesel does not make sense as my wife does less than 10k a year and most of the trips are short)
So based on that I started getting quotes and managed to secure a very good discount for a new B180. But then we went today and saw the GLA and my wife started having second thoughts. Actually when we started comparing the current the B class and the GLA my wife was always voting in favour of the current car...
For me the most sensible thing to get is the B class but I like the GLA but is has less space and will not be as practical. But if we are talking practicality the current one served as well over the last 2.5 years. And also it looks like there is a bit of demand for the latest models so I would have no problem selling it rather than PX
Anybody is similar position ? Any thoughts or opinions ?
