Converted to Merc! Hey all!

[hauts]

Greetings fellow Forumers!

After many years of BMW, we switched to a Landrover, and it has been nothing but bad luck for us! So we decided to have a go at Merc.

Looking at the FL C180 Coupe now. Anyone feels the Sedan is better?

Hope to learn more from the forums!

Cheers,

Ian.

Ian, good luck. One is 2 door and the other 4 for better accesibilty

Don't mind me as I'm bitter ha ha. Would have loved to get the coupe but tricky loading kids, and dog in a 2 seater. If you have no such constraints then why not get a coupe?

Coupe vs Sedan isn't really and apple to apple comparison. It depends on your preference and practical needs.

Maybe this thread might help:

[hauts]

Yeah I guess my question was kinda in a grey area, haha, apologise for that. The thing bout' the Coupe is that the seatbelts do not get pushed towards you :x

I was at the dealership on Tuesday, saw a black C250 being delivered. Anyone here owns it?

You should join the meetup this weekend and see for yourself what are the options and features for sedan and coupe.

Hi Hauts,

I am a converts too . Look at my avatar if you are considering a coupe . Ok , you can starts drooling now.....

[Ppp]

Go straight for the Coupe

[hauts]

Just had a test drive in the C180 Coupe. It is surprisngly quick, overtook cars with ease.

Now the hard part, which color goes best with it? Does the blue go slightly purplish in the sun?

Thinking of a steel grey, like gun metal

[Ppp]

Diamond white or magnetit black

[Berrie]

Diamond white or magnetit black

I tot yours is grey or something? Nice colour - masculine factor!

Nice colour! But there again, individual's preference...

[Ppp]

Hauts, don't have the urge to go back to BMW again??

[JCase]

Mine is magnetit black

Ít's sort of black and borders on a very dark grey.

Magnetite black is the color of magnet.

Look greyish during the day and black in the night.

[Odessus]

Palladium Silver ftw!

[MarkCWQ]

Obsidian black for the deep mystic black look! Downside, maintaining it will kill you.

[hauts]

Top 3 choices were the Magnetite black, Obsidian Black and Palledium Silver, but I've got sold by how the Magnetite Black looks!

I test drove a White C180, didn't really fancy it :/ personal prefference

Hauts, don't have the urge to go back to BMW again??

Yeah, but I do have another 5 series at home, so I guess I'm safe

Believe it or not, I opted for a 4 door cos of my dog's car seat.

Join us this GTG, there are large variety of colors for you to choose...

Since u got a 5 series, get a CLS which you won't regret..

Yeah, no doubt the CLS is a step ahead of the 5 series, but it only seats 4

And somehow, I found myself in a smaller space in the back of the CLS than the 5' series .. and it's meant to be the other way round

Re: GTG, I will be driving down Malaysia for an event, plus I think I'm too young to go for it

[Ppp]

You mean GTG for older guys?

[hauts]

Nooooo, I just think I ain't ready to go for an event... Ain't implying that it's meant for older guys. And ... I'm pretty shy. So yeah. Maybe when I get more familiar with the scene.

[Ppp]

Haha.. just kidding bro..

We welcome anybody either merc or non merc owners...

But you won't regret to be a merc owner..

[hauts]

Haha yeah no doubt! Somehow, I find I have more leg space in the passenger seat of the C-Class Coupe than the 5 Series!
