What car is better, a Mercedes E class or a BMW 5 series?

Question

I want an all wheel drive car with navigation, but right now I am driving cars with the fabric instead of leather. So which car is a better transition for someone who is switching from fabric to leather? Also, which car would be better for five people in terms of the trunk and seating?

Answer 1

I personally would opt for the BMW, but only because I'm a BMW fan. There's nothing wrong with a Mercedes, they are excellent cars as well. I have to question why you want all-wheel drive? Where do you live that road traction would be an issue? Unless you live where there is lots of snowfall yearly, or in mountainous terrain, you really don't need all-wheel drive. They use more gas, and slightly more prone to mechanical wear issues. As far as the leather/fabric issue... you can get most any car with leather seating or fabric seating, don't buy a certain car just because you want leather seating, that's kind of silly. Do some research into the models of cars you are considering, then go to dealerships and sit in them, and ask questions about them, then you can make an educated choice about the car you buy! Good luck!
