That's what he said. That's not what he told me in private. He only complained about the handling. Yeah, the es350 is a bit ungainly. But it doesn't float around. But he was impressed with the acceleration. He saw the clear difference between his c180 and the es350. Like night and day.
I don't ever see a regular Benz in my rear view and miss a beat.
Pfft. A beemer? Now, that's a cause for concern.

The c320 does 0-60 in 7 seconds and you call that fast?
Danny even you?
Acura tlx shawd does same in 5.5 seconds and you really want to go head to head with it with a c320?
You people shod stop embarrassing Benz abeg. It wasn't designed for such sprints. It's an elegant car built for cruise and comfort.
Not for sprints.
If you want a quick German, look towards the bimmer.
Even the AMG tuned benzes have trouble catching up with Japanese tuners.

Even my Lowly humble RX330 does that 0-100km/h in 7.8secs so its just 0.02 seconds slower. That W203 is a shame to what speed is all about.

So you migrated to RX330 from 300 without paying homage? Anyways welcome back to the Merc thread.

This Benz thread is funny.
All the Japanese doing 0-1000km in 0.1second grin I guess is not the ones I see on the road Every day.
Maybe they are in ghost mode.
I've traveled from Abuja to Port Harcourt, kano, Zaria, umuahia, Enugu, Igbokoda, KatsinaBauchi, Jos, Gombe, Yola n michika in Adamawa.....e.t.c.
I hardly see any true competition by the Japanese cartons that are doing 0-1000km in 1second on this thread.

All you need is a 2008 v6 accord or a 2013 avalon and you will be alright las las.

For the 2013 Avalon once it takes off you would never see the tail light again even at the finishing line.

You are the ones living in a bubble. You don't even know your cars. Unfortunately. And one of you races those who aren't even racing with him.
On a straight line, no c320 will beat big for nothing v6 Camry (both in the same mechanical state) in a 0-60 sprint. Take that to the bank. Don't even bring Honda or Nissan to the mix. It will be too embarrassing.
Enjoy your Benz peacefully.
Like I said leave the sprinting and stunting to the jap shitboxes. cheesy

Bro a C klasse is a C klasse. Not comparable to the Camry. Compare the C Klasse to the Corolla or avensis... Then compare the Camry to the E Klasse. The fact that you can sprint first one and a half km doesn't mean we wouldn't do you for lunch...

C class is to be compared to Corolla since you mentioned Camry. E class vs Camry should be it.

The G 35 is awful with fuel. I buy 40k fuel every month and I don't drive more than ~1000 miles.
Don't buy a Nigerian used G. Unless you can get it properly inspected.
To use this amount of fuel I must be driving the Gelandewagen

I'd also beat any non-AMG G-Wagon in a race, so it checks out. grin

With great power comes great fuel consumption. Deal with it. I'm also not complaining, boy.
