A simple drivetrain would be better than a complex one

Merc or BMW

When the Volvo drivetrain gets sick, you are in trouble

BMW interiors are quite boring, if you’ve owned one. But, if not, it’s fine

GLC is the nicest outside.
Volvo is the nicest inside
But the x3 has the best drivetrain

That's what they always say la. Next year eyeing some other beauties already.

I have owned all 3 brands before. Not to put down any brand, for some, I will never go back to them again.  But don't take my word for it. Just pop into any of the 3S and you should be able to feel the difference right away. It comes with the culture.

Look like GLC300 don't have. I driven the w205 for 2 yrs+ then upgrade to w213 recently.
Biggest repair was the alternator Borsch RM2,800 with installation, else just wear and tear.
Tukar minyak hitam with filter pun RM500-RM700.
Gear oil with filter - rm 1k +

Neither. Go all left field and buy this:

Service centre very ependent on their location .. some branch besar besar but the SC like shit .. takes awhile to find a reliable one .. once you find a good one and kawan kawan with the sales advisor then no problem ..

For me BMW X3 if you don't mind the slightly plain interior .. Drives great, performance won't lose out tooooo much from the volvo ..

Volvo is fast but not 460hp fast, their tuning is more for comfort. Also if you plan to keep it long term, i suggest not to take the volvo as the engine outside mechanic susah nak buat .. supercharged + turbocharged + electric drivetrain .. too complicated .. but if you have the ability to change it before the warranty ends then yes, go ahead and get the volvo ..

Another thing is the volvo FC will be slightly high and the fuel tank is small .. if your daily commute is less than 50km then you will enjoy the pure EV side of the volvo (Provided you rajin charge it daily) .. ooh and even brand new there's some creaks from the door panels (CKD quality) .. but overall great car

skip the merc due to the bad ride comfort and cramped interior

I read that as you rode your friends mom in it. Lol
I drove the sedan version with the V6 and mmg drink petrol like water.

Not Citroen.

It's DS Automobiles. Supposedly Peugeot SA's premium marque.

Good or not, you have to ask Boy96, /k's French car fan.

But one thing for sure, this one stands out more than BMW, merc or Volvo.

you have the t5 variant, no hybrid, full petrol.

Mechanically, I have not faced key issues with the 3 brands. It's the 3S support that literally makes or breaks your day. In terms of ride, BMW gives you most aggression, Volvo the most pleasant, Merc is a bit lost in between trying hard to be both,

Once you addict to Volvo Bower & Wilking sound system, habis lah.....no turning back anymore. Only left Benz Burmaster can compete it.

250k you buy new Camry can liao. No need think so much.

My 5 years old Volvo XC60 so far so good.
No tow truck experiences yet.

lambogini urus ...not bad ma...ride also quite smooth

Then why do you ask Merc BMW Volvo leh

X3 and XC60 .. ok here's few more points .. X3 .. BMW driving dynamics can't go wrong .. Volvo over some small bumps will feel the suspension cannot settle down properly .. don't get me wrong, it is comfortable. But volvo also much heavier .. that time touge up genting can feel understeer

Volvo touchscreen looks nice and nice to use .. but to be honest, it is a hassle to keep it clean .. and it really is troublesome to adjust the aircond when driving, and the ac control stays there, blocking everything .. so yeah many 'button' presses just to adjust the ac. apple carplay and android auto also abit small due to the potrait orientation.

And drive mode have to adjust through the screen, they removed the knob on the centre console for drive mode selection .. abit mafan

Well, my advice is instead of buy conti 2nd hand, buy new Toyota.

burmester cannot compete lehh 

Seriously, your budget can get even very good Lexus NX recond liao.

can't remember got harman kardon or not hmm
