Somatic:


Sorry, slip of brain. The people I know who had that vehicle bought it brand new and they didn't have good reviews about it. Meanwhile one of them bought a W203 at about the same time. The W203 is still going strong. The W210, decoration for their massive mansion since the Oga refuses to sell his multi million naira car for 450k.

So the multimillion Naira car is discounted to 450k so fast?

BOUNTYDOG:


They ended the production of w210 when w203 came out,they replaced w210 with w211
In actual facts,w210 should be compared with W202 and w203 with w211

So for u to compare 210. With 203 is cos 210 stands out
W210 was made before Chrysler came to managing resources like dey did 203

You seem to be believe everyone here is an idiot. No shyt, we're comparing an older higher-end car to a newer lower-end one. Why would anyone compare an E-Class to a C-Class of same generation anyways?

What next, you're going to compare the Samsung Galaxy S9 to the Galaxy J7 or something?

BOUNTYDOG:


The w210 has better handling than the w203
The arms.of a w210 is ruggedly built to last unlike the 203,the w203 consume more than the w210
The w210 E320 with M112 is faster than the w203
The maintenance of the w210 is way cheaper than the w203
The w210 has more cabin room and engine room which makes DIY easy and also easy for kazeem

The case of rust issue
Is a general thing with Benz
I have seen many sharpw210 facelift without rust and seen many w203 with rust
W210 started from 95 while w203 started from 2002
So that explains why kingreign feels they fall apart or rust. They ended the production of w210 when w203 came out,they replaced w210 with w211
In actual facts,w210 should be compared with W202 and w203 with w211

So for u to compare 210. With 203 is cos 210 stands out

Now you have perfectly summarised it. However my comparison is valid...there are w203 made in 2001...

Well anything can be compared... But not all things can be equated

Don't get me wrong
I only had to use the year of manufacture when comparism as rust and how parts fall off easily came in.

Hope u get my explanation right?

Get a W210 E430, thank me later.

Engine bay lacks space for DIY

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

Who be dis man sef?
From ur pics sef u no.jus like d 203 :-P

You can change my mind with superior perspectives

The interior is too tight..

very wrong.

Not good enough for a family..

well you already have made a choice on which to go for so why asking for our opinion again?

weyreypey:

W210 please.. the w203's I have seen have mostly turned to junk after a few years unlike the w210 with superior interiors after decades of ownership
I am not talking about the w201.

the 203s you see turned to junk are as a result of poor owner maintenance. I've owned a 203 getting to 7 years now and if i tell you I bought it last week, you'll believe my lie.

Well said but lemme add the W210 WILL MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A GRANDAD and dont worry that front bumper must crack while the w203 looks more modern and beautiful.I so love that 210 engine it eats the road but the w203 c320 is not slow with 2 plugs per cylinder.I will still chose the 203 anyday

With W210 it's easy to turn on Roadmaster mode. W203 seems anemic in comparison

trust me, if I'm Going to compare which to buy, it will be a w203 and a w211 not a 210.

Well I am interested in 2001/2002 W210 versus the 2000-2002 W203 C320.

HeavenlyBang:


I've mostly seen that issue with pre-facelift models. They end up having to refit Peugeot compressors on them. Kingreign probably has a better idea.

Edit: Never mind, I see he already replied.

yea Peugeot compressor is a perfect fit and match.

lol. How can you compare a high end E to a low end C? That's like comparing the president of Russia or USA to the president of Ghana.

You are comparing late model 210 to early model 203? Lol... Bruh easy Na.

Same year. Same year bro

weyreypey:

Same year. Same year bro

when you say same year, you have to know that one has been around for longer and is an improvement of its original model while the other which is generally low end is the first of its kind and thereby has a lot if down sides compared to its newer model which starts from 2005-2008.

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

Its a V8 so you should expect that. How about the M113 in C55 AMG

kingreign:

my point is that despite the v8 being in much older models compared to the m272 which was used until late 2011, benz owners with less knowledge will assume their 2010 c class is faster than a 2002 E430. C55 is a car i’ve always wanted to own, i only wish it had the priviledge of having a M113K engine baba God pick my call

see as una dey dissect Benz
