[jacko111]

Hi all,

I'm looking at buying either a c55 amg or the w204 c350 sport any opinions on what one I should buy thanks

Easy the c55 due to the fact it's a v8 amg.

Thanks

C55 all day long really. W204 c350 will be hard to sell on as its neither here nor there in terms of what it is. The c55 will always be sought after and is a cracking car to drive

I've had a C55 AMG and now my daily is a 204 c350 Coupe.

Big plus for the C55 is the 367hp 5.4L v8 which sounds awesome and it handles slightly better.

C350 (306hp model) will give you a very decent performance and won’t be too far away from a standard C55.

204 will still be under warranty, more modern, looks better, better gadgets and you will benefit from CDi like mpg!

I’m averaging 37.4mpg in the last 14K miles I've covered in my 350 Coupe.

If you’re going to use it daily and put 15K miles plus a year then I would say the 204, otherwise C55 AMG.

Both amazing cars, imo.

A man who's owned both, can't really asked for a better review than that ha
