    Mods to W204

    My 2013 W204 C Class Coupe

    Love it, good choice of car and spec (apart from the CDI obviously...;) ) But look out for the AMG uberpolice on here. Not only have you bought a model with "AMG" in the title but no qualifying engine, now you are adding some styling bits too. tut tut!

    W205 C Class Option Packages

    Almost 100% ditto for me. Makes a huge difference to the light into the car all year round. I have certainly used it whenever I could and I like the fact that it can be open to any degree that you choose. The kids in the back also love it!

    2012 C350 Sport Petrol Saloon

    As posted elsewhere, in my case because dumb MB decided to drop the dynamic handling pack from the Coupe, and then replace it with the AMG handling pack (which is excellent) but only on the C250. The gorgeous C350, with another 100bhp, has to do without, otherwise I would have one!

    C- Class or E-Class

    Agreed. Re the wheelbase, a better ride, yes. Better handling, no. Obviously some exceptions depending on specific models and suspension

    W204 C250 CGI (2012) Common Problems?

    Vishal welcome. Based on my 13 months so far with the same car (though mine is a coupe) , I am pleased to say no issues at all. That said, if you want to know, there is a huge W204 owners thread if you search - the first half of which is all about people deciding on spec / waiting for the...

    A45 vs M135i

    I take your point about £50k on a small car, but I dont think "hot hatch" does them any sort of justice! They are a quantam leap forward from the £20-£25k type cars that fit that tag

    A45 vs M135i

    FWIW I have seen about five A45s, all in different colours, and I think it is one of the best looking MB cars in the flesh, barring SLs. I have also driven an M135 and while its a good car, in the looks comparison its a lot like West Ham were against Man City last night....

    C Class Coupe - Petrol or Diesel?

    My little petrol engine works very well with the auto box, although its not the C180. Ok i have the handling pack option which means quicker changes but I doubt that this makes a significant difference

    W204 (C220 or C250) prices - purchase now or wait?

    See this other thread on MB quality, in particular the posts concerning the real jump in quality for the W204 over previous models. http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/general-discussion/163638-2013-tuv-reliability-report-2.html No issues with mine (but also low mileage). Sad person that I am, I...

    2013 TUV Reliability Report

    Its a very good result beating the direct (decent brand / perceived quality) competitors with similar mileages

    Nightmare garage - finally car is right.. what would you do?

    I have plenty of sympathy for those on here who have suffered real problems, but I have to agree with the points Jules made above

    Hello

    Welcome from a fellow W204 sport-plus-thingy owner. No doubt you will enjoy the car! Just dont let the nay sayers put you off about "engine note" or "duff mpg" ;)
