Sure thing, I no run. PH no far from here, na 2 hrs drive.

nwanneni:
You are wrong in 2 places
1)kompressor=supercharger and not turbocharger
2)turbo charger does not increase consumption since as it only collects exhaust fumes,cools it and resend it(air) to the engine while supercharger sucks power directly from the engine by the serpentine belt driving it.

smellingmenses:
you are saying almost same thing, but the car in question ain't turbocharged... the 2005 c230k is supercharged hence more fuel consumption....turbocharged engines consume less fuel

nwanneni:
i was just correcting the girl (RUDE) on some things.
Don't even know the car in question

HeavenlyBang:
1. Kompressor means supercharger, not turbocharger.
2. Saying that a car with a turbo is less gas efficient than a NA one fails to take into consideration the fact that turbos are used as walk-arounds over bigger NA engines. A 3.0L V6 will guzzle more gas than a turbocharged 2.3L i4, all things being equal, and both with have similar power outputs. There's a reason why manufacturers like Honda are starting to phase out NA V6's in favour of charged i4's.

Kompressor does not necessarily mean supercharged
Mercedes stopped using superchargers from 2007
All w204 kompressors are turbocharged
The only latest model with a supercharger is the new CLS and they're giving it another fancy name cos it works differently unlike the regular supercharger
Turbo charger has an edge over super charger not because it's more fuel efficient but because it doesn't suck up engine power to give that boost
Turbochargers also fail on the long run and cost an arm and leg to fix cos it badly affects the engine
Which is why I'm a fan of NA engines no matter how big they are
Who gets a v6 or v8 and still worry about fuel consumption anyway?

And just in case you're feeling unrepentant, here's another that hits even closer to home. I've given you one super and one turbo.

radautoworks:
As far as 4matic vs kompressor, you are comparing apples to oranges. 4matic is Mercedes 4 wheel drive system whereas kompressor means it's a turbo charged engine. Turbo=more fuel consumption which IMHO is not worth the power boost in this class. Also, harder to maintain should something go wrong.


Get the c230 and be done with it. If you think you need 4wd because of where you live, get the 4matic. Ignore the kompressor as it's the opposite of your stated concern.

HeavenlyBang:
The W204 C180K and C200K are supercharged, not turbocharged. Turbocharged Mercs don't carry the Kompressor badge AFAIK.

Also, I know the differences between a turbocharger and a supercharger, no need to educate me, thank you very much.

I'm also a fan of NA engines, so we can agree on that.



This comment implies that any car with a charger should be ignored if the prospective buyer is in the market for a vehicle with good gas mileage. No shite, if two cars have the same engine displacement and one of them is charged on top of that, the charged one will guzzle more gas. Isn't that common sense?

My entire comment was pointing out the fact that a car having a charger usually means the manufacturer has opted for a smaller engine, which is helpful for gas mileage, not otherwise as your statement implied. Case in point, W203 C230K vs C240. Supercharged 1.8L i4 vs NA 2.6L V6. The C230K has more power, more torque, and is also more fuel efficient. What's not to love?

oga i too love the way you state facts with charisma.leave all these wannabes that just want to argue for the sake of arguing!
Imagine that one saying mercedes dropped supercharger for turbos and renamed it kompressor bla bla bla bla .....and the shit is endless

mammanbawa:
I was misinformed and made to believe Mercedes dropped supercharger after 2007
Cheers

nwanneni:
worthless argument!just posting factless random materials.
I am talking from a very solid engineering background.
If you say turbos increase fuel consumption,then i have to stop exchanging words with you girl cos indeed you dont know anything about physics let alone engineering.
Have a nice day

Please House a lot has been said about c class that i am getting confused, can someone summarize this in the other of their 1) Maintenance cost 2)Fuel economy and 3) Reliability. My spacial Thanks goes to HeavenlyBang and others you guys knows what time is it my brothers. I will also like to know about E class. Thanks everyone.

The w203 was produced from 01-07
It was facelifted in 06 I think
That was when the c240 and 320 were dropped for the c280 and c350 with the introduction of the m272 engines into the line up
Definitely the 4 cylinder versions are more fuel economical which is why I'll advise you to go for the c230 kompressor
It's got sporty looks, a fuel economical 189hp 1.8l supercharged i4 engine
It's quite fast for a car of its kind
The 2006/7 c230 with the 2.5l 209hp v6 engine has balance shaft issues on the long run but you're good to go if it's fixed well.
It looks better, faster and it's more fuel consuming though the difference is not much.
I'll go for the c230 v6 if I were you
The c280 balances between the w203 models when it comes to speed with 228hp. It is the fastest after the c350 with 3.5l 268hp same with that of the w204 c350

Thanks for the details please the 230 kompresor which model, and do you have an idea about E class and GLK 350 I am not cocerned about speed rather reliability, parts availability and maintenance cost.
