More or less the same of you don't bother about the slight bells whistles your get from 400

Hence last time I choose 300.

e300 bluetec hybrid is diesel right

its has better acceleration and better fuel economy due to diesel/hybrid combo

yup a diesel hybrid 2.1L

good if you are driving on highway frequently

rm350K in 2015, now hovering around rm80K+

and S400L 3.5L 2014 price tag was rm588K, now around rm160K+

hmm...

Driving a conti, the feel is different. You will never know till you own it. If you keep driving Honda and Toyota, you won't know what you are missing out there. Life is too short to be eating nasi everyday.

Driven before many times. Indeed different. But why own? Just rent la if you want to experience. You will save yourself the experience of maintaining a conti car s as well.

The hybrid has some suspension issues due to battery weight. The rear is always scraping humps.
The hybrid is dirt cheap thats why. U can get a 2015 model for only 80k. But make sure u have a trusted workshop to go to for repairs

oo yea just jalan2 at mudah to see the price this afternoon. partly i agree lah hehe.

but me myself use normal bluetec only, ECO start stop. not the hybrid power units all.

so no idea about bluetec hybrid.

I'd rather pay 2k roadtax every year than pay 20k for hybrid-related repair every year

I'm currently deciding between the E300 Bluetec and the E400 of the same generation.

Any user feedbacks?

Audi engine layout is ahead of the the front axle
S2000 and BMW 6s are effectively front mid engine because the engines are behind or on top of the front axle.
If Audi and BMW layout the same why Audi no claim 50/50 weight distribution like bmw?
Audi nose heavy engine layout is under steer city all day unless you jam brake, then car can snap from under steer to oversteer.
Haha
