What car to get?

Wow this seems like quite a lot, didn't know 20% was considered to be the sensible limit (just to clarify, I'm not saying you're wrong, I just find it interesting).

Personally for me it's 15%.

And even then I still end up overpaying inside that bracket so it gets settled early.

One of the best cars I've ever driven is the current C-Class.

Nothing beats true Mercedes engineering.

This thread explains half our economic problems,he bought the car without actually having that money to spend he bought it on terms with a crap load of interest added in there.

Its a problem in SA, a big problem.

Because cars are super cheap and public transport is readily available? Oh wait none of those are true and he probably needs to get to work to earn money.
Even a cheap car in SA brand new is a R100k.

2-3yrs...depending on your usage.

How long will it last?

As long as your gearbox did in your BMW.

So can someone start a new "What car to get" thread so I can say stuff like Hyundai or Kia and people will start raving that Mercedes, BMW and VW are the only good cars on the planet. It's what gets me through the day

Kia / Hyundai will never = Mercedes / BMW.

So I'm in to looking for a newish car, hopefully a demo model or newly used with very low mileage.
I don't see the point of getting a brand new car, also hoping to catch some festive/new year manager.

Aside from safety, reliability, cost of maintenance, ride comfort, fuel economy; what I do want is: automatic, cruise control

Added bonus:
-Sports pack
-Turbo/Charger, likely means better with fuel consumption
-Sunroof

My budget is around 250-300K.

I've been looking at the Kia Cerato, Mazda 3, Audi A1 sportback.

What other cars can I get which have the above features?

IF you have the money, I'd suggest go for a Merc. They normally come with a 6 year warranty / 100,000km warranty which ever comes first.
