    Z4. I dont like the A class as it looks too Focus/Astra shape. A Merc should be a saloon or estate not a hatchback.:)

    Second Alex note above why no Fords? A nice focus st?

    I like the Merc A class personally but the engines on offer didnt seem all that powerful if you went for a diesel. My obsession currently is a diesel Octavia VRS.

    Even tho I love my fiesta now I'm just feeling something with a bit more luxury also I've all ways wanted a converable my only worry with the z4 is the running cost as only being 20 The insurance is quite a lot and the tax is £265 compare it the a class £20!

    Chap I know used to pinch his brothers Z4. Not that comfortable - he was saying it's terrible on motorways and because it's a convertible handled about as well as his old Freelander.

    He drove up from Cambridge to Fleetwood and could hardly walk when he arrived.

    Drove a Z4 for 2 weeks last year. The novelty factor wore off after a couple of days so on that basis the Merc is definitely the way to go

    This is a Ford owner's club forum, so is going to be unsurprisingly bias, lol.

    Whenever I see a broken down car at the roadside I make a mental note of the make. Unfortunately french cars are at the top of the list.

    That's surprising, most of them here are German.

    Best bet is to spend a bit of time going round garages and trying cars to see how the drive and feel.

    Then draw up a short list
