HI all, just introduced myself in the new members thread, I'm planning to buy a C Class and still trying to get my head around the different variants.
Originally I was hoping to shoot for a W124 coupe but SWMBO is terrified of the size of the car
So now I'm thinking C Class (W203) 2005/6 Coupe, but not sure which to go for. My gut feeling is the C180 or C220, but I'm still trying to understand the engine range and badge designation. So far I think I have this,
C180 = 1.8 4 pot 129 PS
C180K = 1.8 4 pot 143PS supercharged
C200 = me , is this a 1.8 or 2.0?
C220 CDI = 2.1 4 pot diesel
Any help on the C200 (petrol) would be appreciated. I'm also wondering about the bigger engined models for a bit more fun, in particular the C230 2.5 V6.
Any general recomendations either for or against would be appreciated. Weekly use will be a 15 mile round trip to work plus weekend jaunts but we also tend to go to France/Spain/Germany for holidays in the car. I'm thinking the diesel may not be the best option for my commute to work of 7.5 miles as it won't warm up properly.
Thanks in advance for any help or pointers
