If you wanted a luxury German saloon without the luxury price tag, you’d probably consider buying a used car… But how about a used car that’s over 20 years old!?

Well, Mat’s got his hands on an Audi A4, BMW 3 series and a Mercedes C-class all from the early 2000s to see if opting for a classic saloon is worth it. Oh, and he’s going to drag race them of course!

First up the Audi A4. It’s covered 129,000 miles and has a 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder petrol engine that makes 130hp & 195nm. That power goes to the front wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox.

Then there’s the Mercedes C180. It’s driven 126,000 miles and has a 1.8-litre inline four-cylinder engine with a supercharger. It puts out 141hp & 220nm. That power goes to the rear-wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox.

Then finally, there’s the BMW 318i. It’s covered 88,000 miles and has a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated inline four-cylinder engine that makes 140hp & 200nm. That power goes to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox.

So, which one of these old saloon cars will be Mat’s favourite? Keep watching and find out! Don’t forget to follow us also on Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram!
