the 03/04 was a quality upgrade on the 02 so it’s much better reputation wise and plenty of car for the money. I used the ML 500 for a while, sweet babe cool
that is great... A massive engine ML 500 is the cream de la cream of the SUV

You said it as it is....Every car that has the Star and badge means luxury and performance.
Benz doesn't make basic vehicles.
Corolla people bow when u see a STAR

Why call Corolla here bro... Even the 2000 model C class the 2015 Corolla can't be compared in terms of features and safety !

It's a good ride , you rarely see it lying in workshops... Very rugged just that it's big especially the wagon

The interior is very roomy

Exactly that is what also would improve the fuel efficiency... Are you looking at the wagon or the sedan

The power seat botton are located at the door just like C class , unlike the ML that the power seat botton are in the seat... I prefer that though

Different strokes for different folks

Am thinking of swapping in a V8 engine in my C320.
My only worry is to get a transmission that can handle all that power grin grin grin.
For that much power I will need like a 7 speed transmission.
Brabus and AMG did it with the M113 engine
The engine is available.
5.4l raw power in my 203
Who knows where I can get a transmission to match.

The body will not carry the power of the v8, w203 wiring is bad already without additional meddling

Says who? I believe you have seen the C55, it's same w203 body.
There's no bad wiring anywhere, it's actually plug n play.
I only need to change the ECU and TCM to V8 type.
Probably the from SAM too.
Like I said, the only I will face is to get a transmission that will fit n match.

there are some silly and ignorant usernames that post on this thread you should learn to ignore their posts, the person you quoted is near the top of the list

just ignore his regular nonsense, he has frequent episodes of manic delusions of grandeur

one other person is the neighbourhood clown with his numerous monikers, dont even read his posts, just completely ignore them, you would not miss anything important

I don't like even debating this .... 2000 c class comes with six airbags as a standard while Corolla 2000 comes with two airbags just driver and passenger ...it's the 2015 that tried to upgrade with several airbags what Benz has been doing since 2000

Let's start from there ... You see how you are comparing a 2000 model of Benz with 2015 (15yrs ) difference... Do you know that all Benz from 2000 comes with electronic seats , I doubt if Toyota of that year of even 10 years later do ... One thing you must understand is that let's give it to Benz in terms of safety.... I feel so secures driving Benz .. it's not bringing though ...

Dude nobody is claiming that he knows it all... I am a Benz Loyalist , been driving Benz for years... So I can't even claim am expert, I just read about Benz , drive it and love it ... That is me! I am not a mechanic

But you that is expert in benz, maybe you are the head of design team at Stuttgart Germany... Tell us and lecture us ... We are waiting to hear from you rather than having this side talks

You are right mine came with Crazy 3.2l V6(M112) the same engine in your ML. Am thinking of swapping in a V8 M113, 5.4l cheesy
I think I will just get the C55 AMG las las if I can't get a transmission that will match.
I can't imagine letting my C320 go.
