guys, just comparing the e200cgi vs e250cgi....

any pros and cons...?

the only thing i can think off is that although e200cgi lesser horses at 184 vs e250cgi horses at 204,

the torque of e200cgi kicks in at 1800 rpm vs e250 at 2000 rpm... so maybe for singapore roads, e200 kinda more responsive...?

Both cars weigh the same!

PI E200 & E250 Avantgarde listed price diff. Is only $5k

20 more horses mean higher max speed

40 Nm more Torque mean faster off from the stand still & to be exact nearly

1s faster.

7G tronics should not cost more unlike the C which the extra $$$ is more for the FL overall.

So imhccbo the answer is quite obvious paying a few $k more is quite insignificant paying a ride that cost $200k.

Why not wait when U dun have to pay more for it when MB finally decided to replace the "ancient 5 spd" tranny after so much criticisms past & present!:becky:

F10 lah! :lol:

Why not swop cars with a fellow forum bro who wants to exchange his sedan for a cabrio? With all the paperwork done of course. That's what I intend to do when my kids grow up. :)

Even the current E300 & E350 all has the gear shift lever on the steering.

To put in Park or shift is a breeze - just push the lever in or tap up/down.

Probably comes with paddle shifts too for the 7G-Tronics.

Meanwhile the center console is free from the gear shift and U have more storage space.

Yup yup but kinda prefer having the gear knob rather than lever....

But lever safer as kids kinda hard to reach!

Seriously, I've no idea how the 7 speed drives like as compared to my 5 speed box. Maybe its time for a test drive.

But if it's driving feel, don't think it's worth to change just because of the gearbox. Better off getting Audi in terms of performance and drive.

Just a personal opinion. Went to test drive Audi before I bought my ride.:) My entry level beemer also handles slightly better and stiffer ride. But no regrets getting the Benz. blackmercs wrote:

My opinion is :

1. merc branding still number 1.

2. Audi is same price but faster bhp and torque.

3. If only Merc uses DSG 6 speed best!
