On the average, a Mercedes-Benz base model performs better than its Japanese counterpart of the same year, but that doesn't mean it performs better than every Japanese counterpart ever made or make a c-class a premium or luxury vehicle as being described by some people here.
Because if a c-class is luxury, what will the E, S and G class be classified as? How much more vehicles like Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Maybach... Koenigsegg, Ferrari, Lamborghini...

My C.CLASS MERCEDES BENZ... this car made me forget my other car. A very strong car indeed. I bet you, if you drive benz, you will reject other cars.[color=#006600][/color]

It's still clean !

You are mixing it up... Benz c class are luxury or premium cars while Ferrari are sports cars and roadsters and also Benz still build roadsters also... Sedans can't be roadsters so is wagons not SUV

@pipz

Going further you’ll see this on American street.

Some of the paint jobs on the low riders are $20k

Benz A, B and C class are not, I repeat are not Luxury cars. The S and G class are the luxury Mercedes-Benz cars.
You ignored the part about Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Maybach...
What are they?

MrBigiman:


Really surprising from a don. I put up a post the 3 pointed star W202 and ur comparism has been flawed so far. Compare the 1997 C class with a 1997 Honda or Toyota, then tell us which outlived it's time, thats how to make a healthy comparison.

pencil light outlived it's time orobo Camry too. go find out.

We are talking about C class and it's a luxury or premium car ....maybe not in class of top premiums like Royce or maybach ( which is Benz product )

I've read every comment every page on this thread and this is obvious:

The very essence of the Benz brand is this notion of invincibility, a superiority complex, an infectious unexplainable affection for a vehicle.

Congrats guys. You got you there.

The Mercedes C class W202, is far and above Camry Orobo and Honda bullet, thats d argument. If you drive any of the later today, no one will give u a second thought. However the C230 1998 model, well maintained, will still command enough respect.

forget driving dynamics. I'm talking real value in market now.

Boss, only 1 major thing determines value in d market,.....and dts demand. The fact dt a 2004 Corolla is about N2m now doesnt make it a better buy/or a better car than a 1999 w202 C230 Kompressor. Infact, a 2004 Corolla isnt half d car a w202 is, by whatever indices (not even fuel efficiency).

BERNIMOORE:
Agreed, I have driven the s450 and s550 4matic jeep really they are machines, but my point is Benz are heavier yes with good tyre balancing but the Toyota is light and makes you feel like doing Nothing, when you drive these Benz you're looking serious because the way the gear transmits seems as if the car is about to fly of ground with a pu-pu-pu-rrrr bass-sound while Toyota would do the same thing without you hearing a sound, i prefer any Camry 2009 Avalon That balanced minimal sound fuel consumption with comfort.... Balance is the keyword here

Its clear as daylight dt u dont know anything Mercedes-Benz. What is 'S450 and S550 4matic jeep' abeg?
From 2006 a w203 auto has 7sp tranny (gear 1 to 7), and frm 2003/2004 6sp manual transmission. How many japs can boast of such dt early in d game? And dis is from a C-Class dt is at best entry level luxury, not d main main luxury or premium model. Compare japs to Korean or Chinese vehicles abeg, leave Mercedes-Benz out of this lame comparison....

kuntash:


Not entirely correct bro..

The variance of the C class benz are so divers, ranging from continent to continent and regions to regions,

The specs are not the same even though they carry the badge of C180, C200, C220, C240, C270 (Mainly Europe) & C230, C280 (US)

There are some specs that have their air flow incorporated into the throttle body .

Taking ur comment into consideration, here in nigeria its either an airflowmeter or its not, no built in, no hidden one, as noted its the only issue with the car, if u dnt have airlowmeter issue then ul enjoy ur car, if u do then it will ruin everything

God bless u bro for saying the truth.

You people just rekindled my love for this machine... I love the komressor version more... But I heard its problematic? How true? I need tips on which to go for... Considering this car very well, my new area needs a lion that will roar and pass any conditionz.

odionomoike:
Nothing but love for this car. We had magical moments and will still find time to create more memories.

Bros na 200 b dt?

Go for the C180, u don't need a compressor engine. I presently use a C240 1999 model, it's service, fuel and use, no single issues. Welcome bro.

All these airbags... that is how somebody will choke when they have an accident because they are surrounded by air bags on every side

Please, be an honest person and not an asslicker.

How is ishilove's comment not daft? Do car manufacturers make airbags that choke?

How do airbags choke people when they deflate after deployment?

Stop supporting rubbish.

stop thinking in a manner that depict daftness.
people with respiratory challenges such as asthma, respiratory system infection, agina, chemical allergies may choke, convulse, be come unconscious when hit by deploying airbags.
depending on the force of deployment, airbag could break ones nose, cause some significant damages to ones eyes, lips, break ribcage, cause internal bleeding and in some cases death.

get enlightened stop being emotional

BERNIMOORE:
forget it which Camry are you talking about? Camry 2.7 muscle 2009 model v6 is faster and more durable, yes Benz are cool but it doesn't pick fast when accelerated until it has transmitted gear twice because it is heavier and uses back axle compared to the camry front wheel drive always red hot in cruising, light weight less fuel consumption. Its a personal choice though.

lol, be fair na, this is a 2000 model i4 benz... compared with Camry and accord of same year and engine size. wetin you find go 2009 v6 2.7 liter engine.

Ask the guy. Comparing a 1998 Benz to a 2006 Camry is not fair.
