S classes are unreliable and I'm just not a fan.
The C300 will comfortably go to Mali and back.no?
So what's the fuss for?
Mercedes is pure luxury btw,not meant for sufferhead journeys.
That's what shitboxes were built for na.who does that?

atiku07:


my c240 4matic goes to sokoto and back comfortably non stop on an 18hours journey coupled with bad roads o! and i go there 4 times in a year and the ride is still waxing strong !

RZArecta:
the 03/04 was a quality upgrade on the 02 so it’s much better reputation wise and plenty of car for the money. I used the ML 500 for a while, sweet babe

shortgun:

You said it as it is....Every car that has the Star and badge means luxury and performance.
Benz doesn't make basic vehicles.
Corolla people bow when u see a STAR

ogbuefi677:

looking to buying something like this later this year.
Will dash madam the C

AmuDimpka:
... Do you know that his car uses the same engine with ML 320... I have seen it severally... It's a good one but big... Maybe you like big cars

Smartchoiice:

It's actually a small car especially the E320

AmuDimpka:


Oh that is great... I haven't driven it before shaaa.... Would want to know the handling

Smartchoiice:

315nm torque.... 224hp fast quiet and very deceptive

AmuDimpka:

ogbuefi677:

On d contrary, I prefer small cars.
golf 3 to Volks Bora to C class+ Volks golf 4 now.
Buh I have a thing for this particular car.

AmuDimpka:
you are right... This is the engine that it used and that is exactly the same engine with ML 320 4matic engine


It's a v6 12 plugs ... A very good engine ! Rugged

Smartchoiice:

Yes and with a far lighter weight

AmuDimpka:


It's a good ride , you rarely see it lying in workshops... Very rugged just that it's big especially the wagon

The interior is very roomy

ogbuefi677:

Yeah.
I'm always marvelled at d interior of that ride.
Quality finish,and you rarely see one with a cracked dashboard despite d fact d newest of them is at least 18yrs old.
Heard d engine(M112) is indestructible except with extreme carelessness

AmuDimpka:


Exactly that is what also would improve the fuel efficiency... Are you looking at the wagon or the sedan

The power seat botton are located at the door just like C class , unlike the ML that the power seat botton are in the seat... I prefer that though

Different strokes for different folks

It's s good car ! Parts are available

shortgun:
Am thinking of swapping in a V8 engine in my C320.
My only worry is to get a transmission that can handle all that power .
For that much power I will need like a 7 speed transmission.
Brabus and AMG did it with the M113 engine
The engine is available.
5.4l raw power in my 203
Who knows where I can get a transmission to match.

AmuDimpka:


Why call Corolla here bro... Even the 2000 model C class the 2015 Corolla can't be compared in terms of features and safety !

shortgun:

Dig deeper abeg.
I want to finish everything b4 next month.
I already have a good budget for the upgrade....I won't mind giving anyone a good chunk for information about what will help me accomplish my mission.
The way I cherish my w203 I think I will still have it in 10 iyears to time.

Smartchoiice:

The body will not carry the power of the v8, w203 wiring is bad already without additional meddling

AmuDimpka:

Themandalorian:

I believe you are joking in terms of safety but please enlighten me, What features does the 2000 model C class has that the 2015 Corolla lacks?

there are some silly and ignorant usernames that post on this thread you should learn to ignore their posts, the person you quoted is near the top of the list

just ignore his regular nonsense, he has frequent episodes of manic delusions of grandeur

one other person is the neighbourhood clown with his numerous monikers, dont even read his posts, just completely ignore them, you would not miss anything important

the list of resident jesters grows daily

AmuDimpka:
... That 320 comes with a v6 engine... How come yours is v8... Did you swap engine ... Becuause I know that abenz 320 - 350 are v6 to 450 - 500are v8
