Please guys your advices is highly needed right now
Thanks in advance.

All views and no comments make OP even more confused

Guys pls help a brother

Siena:
Difficult to advice, when you don't mention engine options.

Do these cars you're comparing have engines, or are you comparing bodyshells?

Thanks bro
I need just 4 cylinder, 1.8L - 2.0L engine
Auto transmission or tiptronic
Thanks in advance

The BMW 3series like the C class kompressor come with cramped back seat which make them very uncomfortable for your passengers, I'll advice you to go for either the 1.8T or 2.0L A4 Audi which offer balance of comfort, power and fuel efficiency.

Audi a4 will be a better option provided you get a well maintained one

Was thinking that Mercedes is the best of the German cars when used in naija(in terms of maintenance and seeing good mechanic)

If you go for the Audi, you are at your own peril, the better option for you is the Benz c 200 kompressor . Good return in fuel economy, comfort and prestige, combine with power and availability of spare parts, compared to the others. Two Adult enters the cramped sport back seat of Benz 190 , how much more the roomier c class?

Secondary, ask anybody around, mechanics in Naija dont understand Audi and BMW that much, so their owners tends to suffer in their hands. Except you'll be doing your repairs yourself.

Secondary,there is this aura you will feel while driving the Benz that is lacking in others. Mind you, Benz haters will never endorse this.

bros, those german cars are not what anybody can toy with, get a competent workshop else you might regret buying them.
Good maintenance culture and zero tolerance for manage-manage
