I have done that since yesterday, but no response.

Abdomox:


Many thanks. Still awaits king406 review.

king406:
for me when it comes to cars, fuel consumption is not really the first thing i consider, performance and availability of genuine suspension parts is what i look at. Reason why i went for the 350 instead of 250 was simply because of greater performance. So far i havent had any problem with the car but i believe parts are available. Note that you will come across several 250 models online and at dealerships before a 350 model. It costs between 9500 to 10500 to get a full tank, depending on the fuel station you use. I use this car mainly for my weekly commute from abuja to kaduna and it takes a quarter tank, one way. Overall the car feels very solid and well built, i believe if you take care of it and engage in preventive maintenance you wont have any problems.

Abdomox:


Many thanks boss.

What's your view about it not having enough space at the back and it being too low to accommodate 5 persons- i.e it hits the ground when you have full passengers.

Thanks.

Welcome back after the time out bro..

HeavenlyBang:
Good to hear that, bro. More life.

yes the Nav and JBL are a combo installation with 14-speaker at least counting speakers too can help you identify your target

Chelseafan1:


Good job bro, what's your review on 2005 C230 Benz Kompressor sports.

Reliability, city driving, suspensions, most importantly, sound/entertainment system, speakers nd woofer, likely issues, the pros and cons generally, considering it's a 14 years old car nd the likes.

Can you do a comparison with a 2010 Corolla sports.

Lol, comparing a Mercedes to a Corolla. Respect yourself.

[s]Sha be ready to change the C230's engine every month [/s]

nurey:


Benz c230 luxurious compact vehicle
corolla 2010 compact vehicle

benz M271 engine 1.8L I4 turbo 189hp

corolla 1.6/1.8 i4 132hp

Reliability the corolla with a NA engine

city driving the corolla highly efficient engine less weight

suspensions Benz C230 sports solid suspension parts, bigger and better brake parts, solid stance, would withstand steering accuracy when miss road (hit potholes at high speed, pass water body at high speeds)

luxury and optionals Benz including feel, comfortability, interior finish, respect etc etc

Its a benz not likely to give much issues if you utilise the right oil due to its turbo gadget, don't enter too much pool of water, investigate faults before calling kazeem to fix, this particular vehicle is mostly shaft noise, interior falling apart.

if I were to choose between both considering the samples in question are in optimum state, I would pick a C230 Benz it's reliability is not the best but it's not questionable either

Chelseafan1:


Lol, I have driven this 2005 Corolla sports and it's really nice, only that I would have loved a better sound system.

It's engine is quiet too, I love it. It's a Toks tho.

Why change d c230 engine? Abeg shed more light o

Wrong. A Benz C230 Kompressor is one hell of an unreliable and non durable vehicle. Engine problem, suspension problem, interior trim pieces falling apart, AC gremlin are part of their issues.

HeavenlyBang:

If you think the Corolla is nice, you'll probably have a heart attack if you drive the C Class. It's sooooo much better.

The engine thing was a cartalk inside joke. The C230k is reliable. Maintenence will be more expensive than the Corolla, but it's still a very reliable car.

nurey:


I hope you are not using that benz fanatic case as a yardstick for engine problem, the M271 is a good engine not the top most in reliability but good as long as you don't pour palm oil. Yes the w203 interior falls apart, but still fixable compared to rusting/corosion.

Most cars have AC wahala camry, the 2012 upwards kia hyundai, it's all fixable. explain suspension problems?

Chelseafan1:


God bless you for us my brother, you didn't talk about the sound system in the Benz. Reviews I read online says the Benz absorber can be very stiff, how true is ds?

kingreign:


Own a C230k then you'd have an idea. I'm not using nwanneni's as yard stick. I'm using personal experience. Experience of others and what I see around.

nurey:


I have never seen suspension work done on a w203 as many as them be for my area 200, 230 and 320

I agree the interior falls apart

I don't know about the AC though but majority w203 I see are always using AC on the road

I don't agree at all at all with that engine M271 but you know wrong engine oil affects turbos even online reviews gives it a good reliability check

Chelseafan1:


Lobatan....i have heard people complain about some of these problems too but then my cousin used his for more than a year with no problems b4 he sold it
