    If you were going to buy a car for your mother

    What would you get for her?

    My mother has been hinting around that she would like something. I am thinking about a C-class 300 4matic. Anyone have any experience with one?

      If you live somewhere there is snow in the winter, avoid RWD.

          Konrad, he said 4matic...

          Minte, I like merc's... The new ones especially.. The new C class is also nice and 300 4matic is plenty.. Sounds like a good choice.. Only q I would have is if she ever drove in a merc and liked the "feel"... My mum hates the standard suspensions...

            She has ridden in mine several times. She liked the comfort,was a bit overwhelmed with all the gadgets. Lots of snow to deal with in Wi. so the 4matic seems a good investment.

                C-class is a good size car for her. I don't think she would do well with an S.

                  Go with the C then, it's a nice car, or an e coupe... (if she does not need the backrow seats)

                          Get her a Jeep. They have some damn nice ones too.

                          Rather dependable, great on snow and not a lot of fluff stuff that will get ignored anyway.

                            i'd take an A4 or A5 with quattro, but i'm biased

                                          Never had any luck picking cars for others but i'm pretty good at battering the price down on what is chosen

                                                She is driving a Pontiac now,which was too large for her from day one.

                                                  I'm a lousy son. But I do want her to drive something safe. I looked up prices and they are all under $50k. So I imagine I will get one in the mid 40's

                                                                                  The new c-class is a 7sp. The specs on mercedes site,show it's 0-60 at 7.1secs. More than fast enough for my mother.

                                                                                            Also bailed her out on her mortgage a few times. She still lost the house.

                                                                                            Just felt like bitching. I don't get her nice cars cause she can't maintain her things.
