kingreign:Well, if you ain't a mechanic, you're definitely a savvy on automobiles. Plus as to the matter at hand, it's a C240, and it's a 2.5 liter V6, naturally aspirated not a C240 kompressor with a supercharger kit on it, plus it's a 1.8 and definitely not a good to my taste. The torque curve is usually non linear in power distribution along the Rev range and tend to zoom out ( no torque on higher rev) on the dyno. Ps: all you listed above holds true, but I don't think Op is gonna ride a corolla or C240 for eternity. 1 Like |

Venoms001:At OP. The truth is that the Mercedes you want is a problematic shitbox. In fact nearly all the Mercedes produced around that year na wahala. Your best bet is a Corolla. A Corolla is the most reliable thing you can buy in the world. Asides that, its a very discreet car. If you have a neatly washed Corolla, and you're a civil servant or dress nicely, nobody will know whether you're a politician or military personnel. The respect that comes with the car is something else. The only problem is that you have to be guiding it like a jewel because of thieves. BTW if the Corolla is too bland for you, buy a Nigerian-used Toyota Camry 2008 for the same amount. |

Sorry . . . A what and a Whaat ? ? . If you're an inexperienced car owner . You're probbaly better off with the Corolla. If you have a "Good" Mech and can afford a "Good" maintenance routine the C240 is a better buy by a long shot. Nothing good comes cheap. But most importantly buy a "Good Car" . the state of both options is of paramount importance. A clean Corolla is better than an abused C240. |
