Which C-class to get.

[lonnyboy]

Hi all, currently driving a VW Passat CC 1.8tsi. Looking to change to a C-class and have 3 models in mind.

C180 7G-Tronic 1.6 Turbo (New engine to arrive in August)

C180 7G-Tronic 1.8

C200 7G-Tronic

Thanks for the input.

Whenever possible, get the largest displacement engine that you can afford.

[jtang]

Agree with HYM. C250 is the ultimate for the 1.8 lit CGI models. If your budget has no cap, then go for the C63 Black Series .

[Merceman]

Go for the most costly one If $$$ not a concern!

[Arshavin]

Suddenly so many ppl interested to buy a Mercedes.

C&C also great Mercedes Benz Sales???

Update me the current discount , overtrade and service credits. Haha.

[Arshavin]

I still love e class coupe.

Alex your photo car too high end

[Arshavin]

Both of us strike Toto 1st prize. Ok. Share the winning money.

[lonnyboy]

Eh.... C63 out of range but if got lots of moola which guy doesn't want.

Was initially looking at C-class coupe but if having children in the coming few years will be troublesome, my CC is a 4 seater now so looking for a normal sedan with 5 seater.

Bigger displacement is better but is it worth the extra 20K to 40K for 30 more ponies...

Discount nothing much... Overtrade is 4K and SC is 2K

[jes]

if you guys strike toto think you'll either be heading to Ital or Eurosports instead of C&C

[Arshavin]

Haha. Jes u can join us in toto winning too

it really depends on yourself, if 30 ponies is meaningful to u. if u drive less than 2,500rpm consistently, the kompressor model may work better for u. if u like a spirited drive, u may find your ride sort of 'out of breath' early.

not sure what C&C does now, but I vaguely remember there is some interior/exterior differences between the C180K and CGI series

I'm only looking at the CGI series only and I prefer the car to have the power to overtake hoggers easily...

News just release to SA like 2-3 weeks ago, heard a test drive car will be available during July.

Hi bro, I was driving a VW previously, welcome to the "bright" side. There are many Audi, VW converts here. Lol

As usual, buy whatever your pocket allows. Comfort and brand prestige is a notch up compared to VW, but u have to lower your expectations in terms of power and drivability. There's always a trade-off unless moolah is unlimited...

The new 1.6 turbo will be a tiny tad faster (negligible) than the current 1.8 CGI due to the 7G gearbox. But having said that, I believe the 1.6 is maxed out or very mod potential Liao. If ur thinking of modding ur ride. The 1.8 CGI is the way to go. If u intend to stay stock, save ur $20 grand

Sounds like you're ready to be promoted from lonnyboy to lonnyman then. Grats!

[Cklasse]

A good compromise is the C180 7gtronic. Alternatively, get the 1.6L turbo if it comes with 7gtronic and up options with ILS. The must have is the 7gtronic.

[Arshavin]

Cklasse, my C180K FC now stable at 11.8 to 12.2 km/L range. Good or not ? Going 1st serving next mth. Have to ask u as u r FC King

Sala lah, I am never a FC king. In fact, I secretly wished that the petrol will sell at more than $2.50 a litre so that some cars will be taken out of the road.

[Arshavin]

U still hold the best record. I been trying very hard to chase up

Hope after 1st serving the FC will improves to 13km/L

Where is he now? Unker batam where r u
