Hello, I'm considering getting a used C200 2015 or 2016 plate so new shape with the 2 litre petrol engine and 7G auto transmission.
I only do about 5000 miles a year, mostly urban driving so am discounting diesels.
I can't afford the C43 AMG and sadly there's nothing that sits between that and the C200 (like, say, the BMW 330i).
Is the engine man enough for the car? Performance isn't my main criteria but I don't want something that's sluggish. I'm coming from a 1.6 petrol Focus BTW.
Also, how's the 7G auto transmission? Is it smooth and unintrusive enough? I know it's not as good the ZF system in the BMW but does it perform adequately enough?
Would appreciate any advice on both points. I'll obviously look to test drive one as well.
Thanks,
