Yeah but considering the C class is only a 4 cylinder, only offering 200- 300 hp for nearly 40 to well over 50k with all the options is shambolic, not when you consider getting a 2-3 year old C63 AMG costs the same, and if willing to go a little older then you can really find a good spec one, it hardly seems worth it.

The new Shape sprinters are incredible however VW/Man vans are even better. I’ve driven about every van you can think of over the past year (nothing older than 17) and the VW/Man is on top (even driven an electric Chinese van 😂) in terms of interior quality. But as a work horse I’d choose the Sprinter. Feels more powerful and it being rwd, just puts the power down much better.

[@bmwman1981]

So it’s really a c200 then as it’s never been a 3 litre engine .This is what annoys me with newer bmws/Mercs the badge used to say what engine size it had so you could tell who had brought the base Engine option now it’s means zero and anyone can buy a basic version and pretend that they payed big money when in reality they cheaped out

[@WindsorGoldPlating]

So true lol

[@alwaysdriven]

Ya especially when they slap amg badges on every model shit is all over the place lol

[@CentralScotlandEnduro]

The numbers do actually mean something and relate to power. I get the old way made a lot more sense and do wish it stayed the same, but with a merc and bmw, a 330i is higher spec & faster than a 320i (but they have the same engine) same as a c200 or c300. There’s about 50-100bhp of a difference though… i would say the c300/330i range suits someone looking at a c200/320i and fancy’s an upgrade, rather than someone wanting the beast and cheaping out 🤷‍♂️

[@84riquelme84]

That is quite a low spec Merc to be honest. In the C Class you need to be getting the Premium Plus. Worth it just for the better screen, better stereo (silver speaker caps) and electric memory seats. Plus you get the touch panel over the wheel. As I say that c300 is absolute base spec.

The problem with Mercedes and I also think Audi and BMW is that they are too accessible due to leasing. I believe when B.I.G. was rapping about it in the 90s and you had a Mercedes, you're somebody. No every other mid 20 year old is racing around in brand new ones paying £400+ a month. For me it has put me off these brands and I think I'll be going for a Porsche as the brand hasn't been desecreated yet.

Calvin, pick of the range is the c300d- i have one and its super quick. With premium pack you also have a fully digital instrument cluster, however after owning both this and the pre facelift c250d, I would actually rate the pre facelift as better quality, yes the facelift cars look better, but lack the quality and feel of the older ones in certain areas, as well as going down in specification, ie the facelift premium cars don't get panoramic roof, electric seats electric boot or keyless entry that the pre facelift car had, plus the newer cars are 400 tax for the year, a 2016 c250d was 20 pound!
