thank you all for the replies! i went to test drive the "2nd" car. C200ML (elegance). i love the superb quiet cabin and the stability of the ride. the only noise i hear when i turn off the radio would be the engine. Salesperson told me that it's the sound of kompressor engine.

 

is that normal? not very loud but when u depress the accelerator, it sounds like a subaru boxer engine where you can hear the engine roar. not that loud though.,

 

Th whining of the Supercharger is normal when the engine is rev!

C200 163bhp is correct for all models!

The last one 86K km if real is underuse.

All are electric seats and if has memory function is a plus!

Partronic/Park Assist or just reverse sensors?

The 1st one looks like an avantgarde or sport version i.e with Alu trimming and 3 spoke spoke steering and likely lowered 1/2" suspension.

End of the day your choice depends what you are looking for!

The first one has a xenon headlight while the other 2 have halogen light. You will need to check if this is the original xenon or aftermarket ones if you are buying this car.

I drove the 86km one. Hmm what do u mean by parktronic. It has reverse sensors. And yes came with memory seats.

[bbwannabe]

All don't have Parktronic but should have standard reverse sensor.
It is very obvious, at the end of your dash, there will be a display for the front parking sensors.

Like this one,

Interestingly, this one have the Thermotronic air-con unit too! This means 1) the aircon control is digital, 2) you can set two different fan speed for the left and right side of the car.

Sports model looks more up to date. Anyway I drive a C180 W203. No complain so far except back leg space is really tight.

i second that the back seats leg space is really tight.

mine is a C200ML W203, Advantgrade model, suspension is 1/2" lowered, alu trimming,

3 spoke steering, only reverse sensors is good enough.

[MBENZ]

i agree too. my c180 rear legroom is so tight, even my kids are complaining.

Hi, which workshop can help connect the DD to steering? I intend to change the HU as well but worry that the steering control will be useless when I get the car. Can PM me if not able to post please?

 

Thank you.

i have my existing DD on my car now. btw steering control won't be lost. i know of a workshop that can help to conenct whatever DD to your steering. cost $80 i think.

now pending paperwork to sell off my rx8 to the buyer and i am free to hunt for my benz! yay yay!

never been looking forward coz i travel to malaysia on NSH about once a month for trips. can't wait to sit in a benz.
