Both look like w204 to me. One slightly newer or different trim?

 

[Shenfatt]

Yea. The newer model with LED day light which looks more elegant

Facelift below... facelift says it all.... like Lesley Ash - the original was better.

I prefer the pre-facelift W204, Lesley Ash and Renee Zellweger

New one for me

Thanks all. Both is good. Would never goes wrong with Benz

Liked original exterior more but interior is better on the face lift. In my worthless opinion. Though....and I'm prob on my own but I think the w203 is better than both

My Dad has just purchased a merc demo w204 14 reg C180 "AMG" sport model 1596cc turbo although it's quicker than his last car W203 ( c200k ) 1796cc, he and I agree the w203 was definitely more comfortable than his present W204 ... That could be down to the firmer AMG springs and 15mm drop.

Looks are subjective, I'm not a fan of the xmas tree look on all the newer models, but I do see a lot in the east London / essex boarders.

The salesman did say over 90 percent of cars bought from them know are on PCP maybe why they are so common!

Dad being retired is of the era you don't have the cash in the bank ... You can't afford it.



Sorry to take things of topic.

Jardine Motors/MB Lakeside do seem to have had a major sales push in 2014. This household bought two cars from them!
I don't know if it is a trend thing but a couple of years ago, it seemed we couldn't move around here for the number of BMW's. BM's have all but disappeared to be replaced by MB's, mainly C-Classes.

New one for me but I'm biased.

Facelift car has better interior/instruments and electronic gizmos. Older model had a better choice of engines.

For me it was the feel of my 204 I didn't like after the 203. 204's switches felt and looked cheaper, doors lighter, generally more plasticky but I guess that's just down to shedding weight for emissions or some jazz.

That's why I have a CLS

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the CLS, much prefer the C-Class, in either facelift or pre facelift guise, I'm not too fussy, as long as it has the 6.2 litre engine that is.

I'd echo that !
