I would rather prefer the c270cdi

27 on the highway is actually bad

I have the wagon one with the sport package although its a diesel but still a pretty good car

Being a copy of someone is a gimmick that only takes you so far

Awesome color. I may be getting a C350 from that era. I was initially looking for an E class but a well spec'd out C class will do as well.

He's doing the Doug impression. Looks cool, but he needs a better mic.

i borrowed the c230 from myself hahahahahahah

7:10 nah man it's a clean car and all but you didnt have to lie lol, it is literally known to everyone that the w203 interior in the prefacelift is really bad both visually and physically (materials), the facelift for europe rolled out in 2004 while in US it was till 2005 and it was when they fixed the foggy white headlamps with a clear one and the interior got upgraded massively, especially the center console looked much much nicer, the whole reason people think this generation of mercedes sucked in quality is because they really went cheap in pre facelifted models for all C/E/S classes

Super GOOD job. I know this is a few years old, but you will give Doug Demuro a run for his money.

Could you do a c240 and c230 comparison? I have a 05 c240 4matic and I’m interested in the c230 but just want a real comparison to help me with my decision. Thank you! Great video!

You need to review more cars man, this was REALLY good.

92 views for a reason 😅

NOT Doug. Come up with your own style, unique and entertaining. Just some advice. I borrowed it???

Spilled my coffee at “nice little sport package”. Delivery was perfect 😂

Some dood at work has one. It’s beat to fuck. All the mirrors are destroyed. Massive bodywork damage lol poor car.

Doug Demuro from wish. Jokes aside, well presented!

I borrowed this C230 from myself

Nostalgia boi

Hey, I had an 05 benz c230 and I walked in to a store after I parked it outside, I came back and it was on fire from under the hood towards the front window. What can spontaneously cause that? It was a very hot day and I was running the ac on high. I was shocked. Thanks.

We want more car reviews

come onnnnn al least change the tone of your voice¡¡¡¡

Can't get over the ugly drivers side air vent, why is it distorted like that?

are those 17''?

"now I borrowed this c class from myself" XD

I absolutely love that orange glow:))) its a matter of taste:))) i had a c class european version and mine had an white on black display with navigation also:))) you could choose different colours i also saw with green on black letters etc.....orange was the best i loved it:))) its a matter of taste

God, I love this Car. My 2024 will be a highlight if I find one. Great review

excellent

Man you are awesome haha! And the Doug impressions are spot on. I'd like to add a few notes if anyone is interested in additional information : - W203 came equipped with 3 kinds of radios: Audio 10 (Cassette+CDC), Audio 30 APS (CD+NAVI) and (double din) COMAND APS (NAVI+TV...) - Audio 30 and COMAND could include Linguatronic (voice commands) which was also an extra option. It would add a stalk on the right side of the wheel that would trigger the commands. - Almost all MBs up until circa 2020 never had a volume indicator. - This climate control is the standard, but they offered a Digital one which also featured glowing dials on vents. - On the gearshift, C stands for Comfort. In other W203s, the buttons says W/S (Winter/Standard). Don't know why they changed it. - The second button in the button row is usually for Parking Sensors. - Parking Sensors package also included nicer rear dome light, which featured two reading lights for the passengers in the back - useful! - The third button triggers a rear blind, while on wagon version it triggers the rear wiper. - Early 2000 MB featured a backup system for lights in case a bulb burns out. (If your turn indicator burns out, your fog lamp will replace it and so on.) That's something we do not see today! - The car in the video is also featured with a radio controls for garage doors in the rear view mirror, which was extra paid too. - Another quirk (on earlier W203, not sure about this one): you can't fold mirrors. That was also extra haha!

C/S doubles for “Comfort” and “Sport” and the following generation (w204) makes clear distinction of this when you press the button. The center screen tells you if the trans is in comfort or sport when that button is engaged. But the functions are exactly as you describe. Mercedes may have simplified the verbiage after this generation but I’ve always known those buttons to be “comfort/sport” even when the car was new.

Honestly, I can't stand Doug anymore, but I like what you did here.

C= Comfort S= Sport.

I think C means cheap as it was the cheapest Mercedes available when first released.

I also don´t like the radio. I must say (although I am a Mercedes fan) that the W203 radio is the ugliest radio in the whole car market worldwide.

I bought a White one the CLASSIC model 4 door sedan Kompressor with only 120KM. It doesn't have the rear Sun shade. Gloss White Paint. I love the car. I bought it for 3500 CAD. Great value for a used Mercedes 1.8 liter. Fun car to drive.

I have a 2005 C230, she’s been a great, it’s no longer my daily driver but I’m keeping her.

Great video Doug!

Bro wanna be Doug DeMuro so bad ❤❤

C230-C280 all pieces of shit

Cassette tapes??? Which era was this video made in😮

Another wanna be Doug. D 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

This had me in tears! Not enough t-shirts though lol!!

Was a REAL manual ever offered?

I want more of that ❤

i have the 2003 c230 coupe kompressor freaking love the car fun to drive

Why did KZbin only suggested me this video 3 years after it was originally posted? WTF?!

My 2003 engine seized at 150K lots of small issues. Not a real Benz

This is not a real Mercedes. There is no real anymore.. I had a c124 and then bought the successor, a CLK230 compressor. Only then will you understand that you have been robbed! The experts know exactly what I mean.. Now i have back a C124 🎉

Love the W203 ❤ I always decoded C as comfort, E as elegance and S as statesman because usually German politicians drove the S class. Other cars of course too like 7series or A8 but if it was a Mercedes it would be the S class. Btw, on my W203 C180 Kompressor T-Model with a 5-speed automatic transmission AND LPG, which usually consumes a bit more, I got a stunning 46.12 MPG on the Autobahn!!! What a car ❤

the nme c class r e class refers t the segment

I have one and absolutely love it. It’s been incredibly reliable for the 265k miles I’ve driven it.
