E250 VS C180


Recommended Posts

Am thinking of chaning my ride from S280L to either E250 or C180 which would be a better choice for me? just a 22yrs old guy.

The world Most dangerous thing is the Vehicle. Its not about the machine weather its slow or fast. Its the person who is controlling it. The driver is the brain of the Machine. Not the machine itself.

If the driver reacts slow even the most powerful ABS(Auto braking system) will not help. The driver has to give the car the command in Order for the car to react. Afterall he is the brain of the car.

Space is not an issue C200 & above will be better C180 due to lack of power etc, else E250 or E200 is good enough.

Hmm.. i think in terms of aesthetics C-class  seems a more popular choice among the young.. 

E class is okay, but I find it to be more suitable for the older crowd as with the S-class, which I associate with old towkays and taitais... In terms of handling, not qualified to comment...hehe.. but ultimately, it's your ride, so its more important that u drive what u feel best suits u, and not what is 'appropriate' for your age... lol

I am more of like the old tawkays need a classy ride comfortable and spacious seats esp rear side....cos need to ferry my parents and they always complain if its too small...haha...esp if we go long distance.

so would a E or C-200 have what I needed?

E250 for you. Just don't buy a white. U may end up looking like a taxi. U may also wish to check when the new model (2013) is out.

The new E is very chio...should wait for it if ETA is not too far off...

 

Personally, will go for the new E....

Which ride to go for really depending on your needs.

The rear leg room and space for C class quite restricted. E better.

I changed to E class recently as I require more space

You should stick to ur S class since space in important to u... IIRC you still have a ML 350 right?.... then buy a SLK to add to your fleet....
