Hi guys, need an informed advice here; which is a better option between 2005/6 w203 and 2006 w211.
Considering:
Fuel economy
Ease of maintenance
Smooth handling
Trying to upgrade from a w202. Many thanks as you share your thoughts and experience.

Op your request is strictly for those who are rooted in the knowledge of Mercedes benz. They are the only people who can understand your write up.

You would have backed up with pictures of the vehicle you are talking about for others to learn.

There is a thread for this on Cartalk, tbh.
Your question is undefined, as there are multiple W203 and W211 models.

My bad. I'll do just that on the thread for car comparison.

I was specific. 2005 or 2006 w203 vs 2006 w211.
Could be c180, c200, c230, c240, c280 or E300, E350 as the case may be. MB enthusiasts know what am asking.

Across the W203 and W211 there like four engine choices, different transmissions, etc. Specify the models.

Also, there was no W211 E300. MB enthusiasts know that.

Am really interested in this topic. Cos am really not sure of which w203 is best. I want to purchase the 05 model, but still don’t know which engine is best...
