weyreypey:Stiffer shorter chassi. Meaning more rigid body which translates to better handling n sporty drive while consuming a tad less. The car still looks more handsome than W210. Less prone to rust issues compared to W210 2 Likes |

203. save the cramped back seats, you have a more modern, more economical, better handling car than the W201. The car doesn't age well altogether. Everything begins to fall apart at some point of ownership except you're fastidious with vehicle ownership. While I'd do the W203 as a daily driver, the W210 is best an addition to your existing fleet, or worst, decoration for the village house. If you must buy the W201, get the facelift models. Less problems with that one. |

Somatic:W210 please.. the w203's I have seen have mostly turned to junk after a few years unlike the w210 with superior interiors after decades of ownership I am not talking about the w201. |
Re: Between 2001 W210 E320 And W203 C320 Help Choose!! by HeavenlyBang(m): 9:04pm On Jun 18, 2018 |
weyreypey: W203. Kingreign said it all. Looks better. Better handling. Easier to modify. Newer technology. Also, really, fvck anything Mercedes made in 2001. I don't trust a single thing from that era. However...W210 is still an E-Class, and I'd dare say the interior build quality is a tad better than what you'd find on a prefacelift W203. There's also the issue of rust but YMMV. As a daily driver, W203 all the way. |

weyreypey: Yes, yes, and it's definitely a better place to be in than a W203. Ultimately, it depends on your personal preferences. You get more luxury in the W210, a more stable cruise, and a more refined interior. weyreypey: Troway that C-Class joor. Those things are useless. AC wahala will first disturb you. 1 Like |

Re: Between 2001 W210 E320 And W203 C320 Help Choose!! by HeavenlyBang(m): 9:17pm On Jun 18, 2018 |
weyreypey: I'd go with an 05+ C-Class over the W210 any day. But an early model W203? Urgh. Those things literally fall apart. |

weyreypey: Well. The w203. But I'll advise that you look at the w202 models or the 05+ w203. Go lower or go higher. I personally prefer compact rides. Better handling. 1 Like 1 Share |

weyreypey: Sorry, slip of brain. The people I know who had that vehicle bought it brand new and they didn't have good reviews about it. Meanwhile one of them bought a W203 at about the same time. The W203 is still going strong. The W210, decoration for their massive mansion since the Oga refuses to sell his multi million naira car for 450k. 1 Like |

Triniti: I've mostly seen that issue with pre-facelift models. They end up having to refit Peugeot compressors on them. Kingreign probably has a better idea. Edit: Never mind, I see he already replied. |

kingreign: The w210 has better handling than the w203 The arms.of a w210 is ruggedly built to last unlike the 203,the w203 consume more than the w210 The w210 E320 with M112 is faster than the w203 The maintenance of the w210 is way cheaper than the w203 The w210 has more cabin room and engine room which makes DIY easy and also easy for kazeem The case of rust issue Is a general thing with Benz I have seen many sharpw210 facelift without rust and seen many w203 with rust W210 started from 95 while w203 started from 2002 So that explains why kingreign feels they fall apart or rust. They ended the production of w210 when w203 came out,they replaced w210 with w211 In actual facts,w210 should be compared with W202 and w203 with w211 So for u to compare 210. With 203 is cos 210 stands out W210 was made before Chrysler came to managing resources like dey did 203 |
