2009 Mercedes Benz C200 Kompressor (W204) C Class Review

[@jeromedumpit9144]

One of the very few mainstream cars you could buy with a standard-fit, factory supercharger and one of the best looking Mercs ever penned.

[@KyleLiongCars]

Yep agree

[@bensonadriano2090]

@@KyleLiongCars hi Sir i saw 2012 model and selling for about 850k php..can u tell me is that a good price? 2nd if compare to camry 2014 model which is better is't camry 2014/2015 or this MB c200 2012 model..thank you in advance

[@KyleLiongCars]

I can’t say if it’s a good price. Condition is the most important thing. If it’s in great shape, 850K is good. Vs a Camry, the Camry is a bit more forgiving in bumps, and has more space, but has less of a refined and insulated feeling especially on the highway

[@bensonadriano2090]

@@KyleLiongCars ok thanks for response..actually i have 3 choices either BMW 2015 520D, Camry 2013 and this c200 2012 MB

I have owned a W204 C200 Kompressor for more than 2 years now and it's a fabulous car, in my opinion it's better than the later turbocharged cars because the power is more evenly spread across the rev range. The performance is more than adequate for this kind of car, and the top speed is far faster than I would ever drive. These are easy cars to maintain, just be careful to listen for rattle in the timing chain when you first start the engine, you would need to listen to a good one to know what to expect. Its a comfortable car for driver and front seat passenger, but legroom is a bit limited in the back. maintenance

[@KyleLiongCars]

Agree with you 100%! The supercharged Kompressor models do a better job of across the band power delivery than the BlueEfficiency models. It’s a great driver’s car with the occasional passenger sitting at the rear. Most people here (including me) are on the shorter side though, plus the fact that Mercedes C Classes are quite pricey here due to luxury taxes, so this car is still often driven by chauffeurs. A brand new base model C Class that’s near poverty spec costs around of $60,000.

[@FadzliRealtor]

Thanks for sharing. What about the maintenance?

[@KyleLiongCars]

They’re generally nothing to worry about, definitely way better than the W203. Prices for parts can be pricey if they do go wrong, but overall, just the timing chain to seriously worry about for me

[@autoinfo5656]

At What mileage can we expect to change the chain and what would be the estimated cost for the job!?

[@ckstergiou4101]

Hello,how is the fuel consumption in the city?9?10?

[@neptunevibe]

I own a W204 C200 Kompressor with AMG Package both interior and exterior and is such a nice car! Is my daily driver and is a very reliable car. Very beautiful and mean looking car. By the way when you push the auto pilot it switches to speed limit. Is not turning on and off the auto pilot. Is about changing the function!

[@melangeken]

What a nice spec car, only thing I would change are the exhaust tips. But each has his preferences. I would drive this car as a daily for sure.

[@KyleLiongCars]

Thank you :)

[@Zac0827]

I’ve recently driven this model for 2 mths while the owner went outstation. I thoroughly enjoyed the driving comfort, manoeuvre ability and power. I did notice from the very first drive, the power does not instantly come on after distressing the pedal hard, but that’s fine coz I’m more of a chillax driver now than compared to my previous years driving WRX 2.5. When the owner returned last week, he was surprised to experience a smoother engine. So I put it into a lot of thought and conclude that his commute from home to work is a short one and probably never got to work the engine enough or to clear carbon deposits. Optimum operating temperature is also crucial before every drive. Overall an excellent ride. Very hard not to love.

[@KyleLiongCars]

If you want the throttle response to be faster, you can press the CS button

[@Zac0827]

@@KyleLiongCars Cool! Thanks! I never got around to switching on that mode 😂 guess I never had the urgency 😂 plus rising fuel prices, never cs mode nor cruise ctrl 😅 I’ll try next time the owner goes outstation! 😁

Great review. I have a C200 Kompressor (W204) from 2007 and it is still great.

[@anilec333]

Is that expensive to maintain?

[@KyleLiongCars]

Not that bad

[@filipeguedesramos]

@@anilec333 in Europe (Portugal, where I live) not so expensive. But comparing to my other cars (Mazda and Smart), it is more expensive. It is a choice, and Mercedes is a good one.

@@KyleLiongCars It sure does, you can set it to open the throttle right up as soon as you hit the gas. You should do a review on it if you ever get one. They also have one for almost all brands of cars that use electric throttles.
