i personally quite like them...they are a nice looking car

230K is a smidge under 200bhp i think.

i don't know an awful lot about them at all i'm afraid.

they do look good, especially if you whack on some pimp daddy AMG rims

and they defo aren't as common as some of the other ones you've mentioned, i don't like A3's...but love the S3 lol.

A4's are very nice cars too...i'd go for a diesel though if you do get an A4, they are fantastic with a remap ( 130bhp engines tune to about 170bhp and shedloads of torque )

my housemates mum has one

.....but it is a very nice car. very well built, 55 plate, leather all toys etc, and i fit in the back (i'm just over 6 foot) so they arent as cramped as some other cars

hers is is the 200 kompressor, and goes really well

Yeah thats how they are on Mercs. And im if ever getting a Merc get an Auto. There not best in Manuel, and just one of the reasons Tabetha explained above lol.

TBH not keen on the ones your looking at, not exactley sport or lux. I would prefer 3 series coupe over one imo.

Older style with SUICIDE DOORS is what you want when they were built properly, or 450SEL 6.9, for economy!!
