Which C-class Should I Purchase? by nativedoctor(op): 11:14pm On Dec 24, 2016

Hello friends,
I want to buy a small 4 cylinder engine car for fuel efficiency and I am seriously leaning towards a benz. I love the 2002/2003 c180 (w203) but a friend who had the 99 model (w202) says it's less of a hassle to maintain. he insists that the 02/03 is more electronic and that the parts are more expensive. I love the looks of the w203 and . I will be using the car for a lot of running around.
Please I need reviews from people who have used the cars as I dont want a car that will give me issues.
I know a lot of people will advise me to get a corolla but I have used Japanese cars for about 8 years now and I still have a landcruiser v8. I think I want a feel of German engineering (solid suspension and rear wheel drive)
W202 looks old and feels like a tushed up 190.
experienced support please.
thanks

I don't think there's any C300 with a 4 cylinder engine.
Even d C240 is a 2.6 litre 6 cylinder engine.

considering your moniker.... a W124 or W123 will be more suitable
