What car is good

I think the all new Mercedes-benz C-Class Sedan is the best of all
DaimlerChrysler introduced a new generation of the C-Class on January 18, 2007 [2] and displayed it in the 2007 Geneva Auto Show. Sales started on March 31, 2007 in almost all European countries. The new vehicle has an extended wheelbase and tracks, a stiffer bodyshell and a design inspired by the most recent S-Class and some hints from the CLS-Class. The model has three levels of equipment - Classic, Elegance and Avantgarde. A high performance AMG version with a 6.2 L engine followed in September 2007, labelled C 63 AMG with 457 PS (335 kW). The Classic and Elegance lines retain the traditional Mercedes-Benz radiator grille, with a three-point star bonnet emblem. The Avantgarde line has a grille similar to that on Mercedes' sport coupe models, with two horizontal bars and a large centre-mounted star. In the UK the Classic line is known as the SE and the Avantgarde line is known as the C-Class Sport [3], and comes with an AMG bodykit, and AMG alloy wheels as standard. The North American version is slightly different, as the Classic model is dropped. The Elegance is known as the C-Class Luxury and the Avantgarde wearing the AMG sports package is known as the C-Class sport. Both lines have an additional amber light in front of the front wheel well.
Mercedes plans on redesigning the entire C-Class lineup with saloon and estate versions - while the Sportcoupé will remain based on the W203 chassis - coming out throughout 2007 and 2008. There will be an increase of component-sharing with other Mercedes' models, namely the redesigned E- and S-Class, as well as the upcoming GLK-Class compact SUV.
Versions of the car will be available with a choice of rear- and all-wheel drive (in the latter case an improved version of the 4MATIC system, not available in right-hand drive format), along with a variety of four- and six-cylinder engines. Engines will most likely be the straight-4 M271 and V6 M272 petrol engines and straight-4 OM611 + OM651 and V6 OM642 Diesel engines. Six speed manual transmissions is standard on all models (except C 350), with the 7G-Tronic seven-gear automatic transmission available for six-cylinder engines (7G-Tronic is available for C 230K, C 280 and C 320 CDI and standard for C 350) and a five speed automatic transmission available for the four cylinder models.
The development of the W204 C-Class included the use of a "digital prototype", which put a 2.1 terabyte digital replica of the car through an exhaustive 15 million mile road course. This is an industry first, and allowed for crash testing and more, before a physical prototype was actually constructed.
The C 63 AMG is reportedly the first AMG Mercedes designed from the ground up for performance, as compared to previous AMG cars which were more or less focused on the engine. The C 63 has a revised front end architecture that's taken from the CLK 63 AMG Black series. The revised 7-speed automatic now has three shift modes - Comfort, Sport and Manual - with the last one running with the converter locked allowing the driver to hold the engine at the rev limit. The ESP can now be turned fully off, interfering only under heavy braking. The car also has the quickest, most responsive steering of any Mercedes to date.

trash. just copy and paste. Just like this person -- TRASH!

4 Door saloon with this budget got a lot of choice,,,

Don't get a BMW 3 Series, Because it is not a looker, don't cry If you buy one and saw me pointing at you and laugh. As last person mention that, Merc C Class is a better choice than BM, but don't buy it because the built quality is not so good, plastics are cheap, consoles looks boring, engine dosen't powerful, so I think you need a car with passion and beauty

Alfa Romeo 159 will be quite a choice, although the quality is not as good as you think, second hand price is bad, but it looks magnificent, and It is an Alfa Romeo, which will be better If you drive over the city, in your budget, you can have a 3.2 L engine which got 250 bph@6300rpm and 32.8 kgm of torque at 4500 rpm, and it got 6 Speed Q- Tronic gearbox and Q4 Four Wheel drive. and It got a 5 Star rating in Euro NCAP for crash test. You can also spend more for a sportwagon, but you said you need a 4 door one, it is just a reference.

Saab 9-3 and 9-5 will be my second choice, there is not a lot in Hong Kong, all the engine in the sales range in Hong Kong are Turbocharged engine, powerful for most times, in your budget, you can have a 9-3 Aero with got 250 bph@5500rpm and 35.7kgm of torque at 1800-4500 rpm, so the torque band are quite big, that is just a cheaper choice, and you can got a 9-5 Aero with same power and torque, you got better space and comfort in the 9-5, and It got a highest rating in the Euro NCAP rating

VW Passat is another choice for you as the reference, It got a 3.2L V6 engine which produces 250 bph @ 6250 rpm and 33.7 kgm of torque at 2750-3750 rpm, quite a good choice, big boot space, quite good looking

If ou are a risk taker, try the Volvo S80, in your range, get a 3.2 with a few options, 3.2 L6 engine got 238 bph and 32.6 kgm....

Hope I can help you!!
