the car value for both of these cars is around 120k. which one is more recommended? ive survey the common issue for the f30. it is bearable, while the cla45, i dont know much yet. but the maintenance cost for both looks just fine to me.

what are your thoughts on both of these cars? thinking on getting it early next year.

Theres a smart warranty. Also ill reserve some money for the repair cost. The maintenance for the cla45 i saw some user said around 8k per year. Seems ok for that fast car since the tyre sure will finish faster.

actually even before warranty also many ppl sell their car. example u can see the g20 330i. common issue is the bearing rod. but that one can be solve using third party parts. got solution already. but by doing that, it will void the warranty. i dont mind with such small issues. its still bearable.

the smart warranty cover quite alot depends on which plan you take. even cover the turbo part. but need to pay yearly for 2k per year. if no warranty then just find a trusted workshop to repair any issues arise.
