BOUNTYDOG: Hmmm Why, cos of speed? Why not E55 to be unique
E430 is good but.it's maintenance no be here Cos it's a V8,M113. You will not have enough engine.room as the M112, meanwhile 9ja roads cannot.even take the speed of the M112 If you ate not a frequent traveller V8 should not be ur best bet i didnt want to go too far with e55. But yeah like you said its because of speed, speed is all i care about in a car. That M113 4.3L beats the hell out of M272 despite it being years older. I would love to see it against an M276 |

HeavenlyBang: Lol, they don come. Accept the fact, man, the C230K is faster. thats just what you found on the internet written by biased fans. |

HeavenlyBang: Now, to advice you on the cars themselves.
As said, I have zero interest in a Corolla, and so go out of my way to not learn anything about the bloody things.
For the W203, kindly stick to facelift models. MY05 was the facelift year, so anything after that should be fine.
The 05 230 Kompressor is a petulant little brat that will go when you want it to, and mon dieu, does it go. However, it has a supercharger, and, while not difficult to repair or prone to random tantrums, should not be trusted in the care of an uncouth, ill-trained technician. The ones colloquially known as "Kazeems". The C230K has excellent gas mileage! Perhaps on par with the Corolla, even. It's a 1.8L i4 car, so that's about par.
The 05 C240 is a naturally aspirated V6, so has no supercharger. [s]It is, however, slower than the C230K and doesn't offer a driving experience as fiery as the aforementioned model.[/s]
The C230 and C280s of 06 and 07 are excellent cars. Both are powered by the M272 engine, which is prone to a balance shaft defect. Expensive to fix. That fault usually occurs around the 100k mile mark, so there's a chance any car you have may already have been fixed. Check your Carfax before purchase. All 2006 models had that defect, but not all 07 offerings did.
Personally, I'd go with the 05 C230K. Biggest gripe with it is the subpar exhaust note, but it's probably the best option. The 05 240 is a good one, too.
Choose wisely, young warlock. |

C230, c240, c280, c320, e320 were all produced within 2001-2007 So compare them to the honda's within those years. Still, the honda's are no match and those Benz models will still give the 2008-2012 Honda's a run for their money, a w203 2006/07 c350 will even be faster and not many people know there was a w203 c350. If you are in Nigeria, most of the Honda cars are i4 while all the mentioned Benz models have v6 engines as standard, you know where I'm going |

To all of you shouting Honda, do u know that by 2010 Mercedes made a new m272 3.5liter engine with 292hp? These are called blueefficiency engines, with charged gasoline injection. These are faster than ur regular 3.5 litre m272 engines with 268hp. Just be careful as to which Mercedes you try on racing, I personally own a 2011 E350 blueefficiency with 292hp. In 2012 they made the m276 engine with 302hp (the one with black engine cover). So just be careful as to which Mercedes you raced or trying to race, those blueefficiency models are sleepers, only a few have the blueefficiency badge on them (usually from 2011 most of them do). Word of advice. Someone up there mentioned vcm as one of the reasons a Honda might be faster than these Mercedes cars, vcm that is used to save fuel again?? Correct me if I'm wrong because I didn't really read ur post  . The Honda's that have 272hp can they put the power down being front wheel drives like Mercedes 4matic does?? Don't come and argue front wheel drive is better than four wheel drive please  even the earth dreams engine can't compare. Call more worthy cars like the Lexus is350, Infiniti m and g class but not ur economical Honda. |
