Looking for a good first car. Which has better handling, comfort, and safety for the money MB SD Connect C4? The more details the better!

 

Both.

 

I'd say they're fairly similar and the only significant difference is that one is bigger than the other. If it's S60 vs S80, for me it will come down to which ones were the best maintained by their previous owner(s).

 

I prefer the S80 for room and comfort, and the S60 for a more sporty ride/handling and better economy. If they want full sized adults in the back seat on a regular basis then the S80 is a must.

 

As used, consider the condition!
I tried both and there's very little fit (for the human) difference in the front.
The ride was a bit sportier in the 60.
The rear in the 80 is a plus if you haul 4 people.
To me, neither is a 5 passenger ride.
Also consider the V60 (newer)
