W202 C220 was our family's first (used) Mercedes when I was in high school, and I still love it. Currently my parents (now in their 70s) drive the last new car they brought - a W203 C180K - it has well over 250.,000km on the clock.

For me, the W203 was the best built C Class ever but only the facelift version. My dad has a W203 C220 CDI with 320,000kms on and it is rock solid, tows a 1200kg caravan twice a year over 3000kms in one trip, has zero rattles and the interior still looks brand new. I had a facelift W204 C180, and I absolutely hated it. The ride was awful and the build quality was very poor. At 28,000kms, it rattled like a bucket of bolts. The ride quality and refinement was even worse than the W203. My dad's W203 drove smoother, quieter and the seats were far more comfortable. The 204 had hard plastic in places where the 203 had soft touch. And the 203 had excellent details and quality. for example: 1) The 203 has a roller shutter type thing behind the steering wheel where it goes in and out of and up and down while the 204 has a cheap piece of vinyl like material to close the gap 2) The 203 has rubber seals all the way down the front of the front doors and even at the bottom of the doors where a lip would go perfectly into a groove on the door sill with another piece of rubber inside (this probably explains the fact that it is quieter with less wind and road noise) 3) The 203 centre armrest is softer and the sides of the centre console is soft touch plastic and not hard like the 204 4) The 203 has a beautiful piece of plastic cover in which the spare wheel sits so you don't see the metal beneath. The tools sit in a plastic compartment which screws in to the hollow of the spare. The spare even has an extra set of wheel nuts attached to it in a plastic holder. The warning triangle feet is also very hefty and solid feeling metal unlike the cheap thin one used in the 204. 5) The 203 main door seals are covered in fabric so they never stick or make a noise and look very high quality. The 204 is just plain exposed rubber like every other car. 6) If you knock on the panels of the 203 it has a solid sound to it versus the 204, 205 and cheaply made 206. 7) Other little details like the wipers stopping when you open the driver's door was ingenious on the 203 and not carried over in to their cars subsequent to that generation. This is just some of many small examples having owned the 204 and 203. I wanted to replace my 204 with a 205 but the 205 build quality is simply horrendous. It had nowhere near the level of build and material quality of the 203. Many that I went to test drive had cracking centre armrests and the button to open the split armrest was peeling (the metal look on them was peeling). Most had the glossy black centre console all of which held up so badly showing many micro scratches. These had less than 100,000kms. Completely unacceptable. Everything also felt hollow, brittle and cheap to operate. Even worse is the new 206. While it looks great, the interior is so sparse in the base model it just looks and feels cheap. I was shocked to see that the entire bottom half of the doors and dash (including the glovebox door) is entirely hard plastic. Cheap city car plastic. What a far cry from the soft dense materials of the 203. The engines of the 206 scream like hair dryers when revved and sounds unrefined. Window switches feel brittle and cheap. All the switch gear does not have a consistent feel. In the 203, all the buttons had the same high quality push feel to it and were all consistent. In the 206, some buttons are clicky, some are mushy and some are capacitive. It seems engineers no longer build Mercedes but accountants do. Cost cutting wherever they can while covering it in a thin veneer of what they think is technology. This is why the 203 C Class was the best they ever made. It truly had S Class levels of details and build quality in a smaller package all while still being modern and having that solid Mercedes, German quality feel. I miss Mercedes as they once were.

As a pre- facelift w203 owner with only 96k miles on the odometer, I strongly agree. My mother had a w202, and while that's a great car, the w203 is more refined in every way. I think the w203 is the most underappreciated and underestimated C-Class generation.

Its such a good mix of classic solid mercedes quality with a touch of modern amenities and just enough technology to still be useful day to day. The W202 charmed me though, I LOVED the very simple understated looks and interior, and the w203 was quite fun but something always broke on it. The w205's are cool but I don't know if I would want to own one long term, I personally prefer the boxier benzes.

The 204 is always going to be iconic with that 6.2L engine but I'm really not a fan of the M156, I'd rather have the M113K E55 AMG if I wanted a uber AMG from that kind of era.

owned a c63 w204 facelift, so with the mct 7 speed. the car had the sound, the looks, and the fun behind the wheel. but I'm glad I swapped it for the m113k - in an SL55. tbh the 5.4 supercharged V8 is not as loud, and not as high revving, and the 5 speed is a bit slow, but it is so much more daily driveable, and boy once the supercharger kicks in its SO MUCH FUN. I enjoy it much much more, also the c63 had a terrible ride quality, the seats were horrendous. it's only fun for the weekend.

I have now owned 6 W202 and I absolutely love this generation. The build quality and reliability is unmatched. It was WAY ahead of its time. Its almost like a baby W140. Even today it drives flawlessly and makes a fantastic daily driver. Fuel consumption is absolutely comparable to modern cars (I drive it with 7,5 L / 100km or 31,6 mpg). It was so unfortunate that this model had terrible rust problems. Otherwise this would be a car for literally eternity.

I’ve _never_ been into S-Classes, or Mercedes station wagons (and I’m a major wagon fan) but the C and E Class sedans are some of my fav Sedans. They age well visually. They feel solid. Just can’t go wrong.

I really couldn't find out much about it at the time.. and really thought it was something this euro guy had put together. He worked at Michelin and was going back to France and was taking a new Z06 Vette at Michelin's expense. I have thought about that damn thing on and off for ever.

I love my C32 to death, it may not be the best C Class but I put it above the 201 and 204 in terms of styling. In my opinion the 204 was just too sharp in its design, and the 201 was a product of its time, but the 203 has timeless curves and shapes to itself. And I disagree on the interior as well, maybe build quality was a slight step down during the Daimler-Benz era but the design has held up incredibly well to me. The center console in its waterfall design is seen in the 205, holding the two side by side shows that and it’s aged much better in terms of looks compared to a 220 or 211 for that matter in my eyes. I personally think the 203 AMGs are the sweet spot for daily driver ownership as you get great performance in a simple easy to work on package that doesn’t catastrophically fail as the M112K and M113 engines paired to the 722.6 trans were bulletproof in most areas, especially in comparison to the M156 of the 204. Are they the best at anything? Not really but it’s a safe choice for a compact super sedan.

I can’t disagree with your list but I am partial to the W204. I’ve had two of them, a new 2009 with the P30 package and carbon fiber trim and more recently a nice used 2011 with the P31 package, locking diff and carbon fiber trim. They were more fun to rip around in then the W212 E63s I’ve had (M156 and M157).

loved it! I feel like every generation but the 205 has a marquee model. the Cozy 190s, the C32/43 of the 202, the C32 of the 203 and the C55 to close it out. the 204 needs to introduction. but the 205 while very fast has no "moment" for me.

I’ve got the c400 specifically, /c450/c43 with the M276 DELA 30. I was wondering if you could do a review on the engine. It’s been hard to find in-depth information about it. W205 is it for me, best styling, interior, sound system, tech. That’s obviously a product of a newer car, but it’s still the best. Looks wise, they were able to compliment a soft/medium and aggressive look into the car, and it’s not too ANGULAR. This duality makes it the best blend of luxury and sporty(with simple aftermarket options)

Technically, you could say the 201 is not a C-class (in name) but the 124 was not an E-class until they flipped the badge around. The 201 "birthed" the category for MB, so should be included, just like the Audi 80 can be considered the forerunner the A4 and the E21 3-series that was actually a coupé, gave rise to the (sub) compact executive saloon segment.

There's been 3 W204 in my family, early C300 and late C250 and C350. Not a single one gave us any issue, by far the most reliable not only as a Mercedes but most reliable car period. Now that I can finally afford C63 all the available ones has been molested and just impossible to find a good example.

205 generation for me for the reliability of the AMG’s and aesthetics. The styling of the coupe in particular brought back the softer and more elegant lines of the 60’s and in my opinion is amongst the best looking cars MB has made. The 63 is epic and the 4matic 43 was different enough that it was a truly unique offering instead of a watered down 63 unlike the 206 generation. The w204 is a close second though simply for the fact that it’s the last of the naturally aspirated v8’s.

I had a very rare in the U.K., W204 2012 C350 petrol V6 (one of only 50 registered in the U.K. in 2012! Everyone at the time was deluded enough to believe EU propaganda that diesels were best for the environment and most thus bought the C350 CDI instead). It was a great car that sounded superb and did 34-35mpg on a gentle motorway run. The 2015 E400 Cabriolet I had afterwards didn’t sound anywhere near as good because it was turbocharged!

As far i understand the W202 C55 was not a standard model offered by Mercedes. The history of this car is super obscure and interesting, and it is not documented as well as i would want it to be. If you bought a C43 you had the option to special order from AMG to have your car converted to a C55. And this i think was offered only in 99' and 00', but even if you had a 98 c43 you could still do this. A lot of parts were changed and taken from the w210 E55, not only the engine. And as far as i know you had to pay a lot of money to AMG if you wanted this. Only 59 true C55 W202 exist, 30 LHD, 29 RHD, and only 7 were Wagons. Truly a unicorn car and its not nearly talked about as it deserves. If i saw one in public i would probably pass out. There is currently one i can find for sale and its in Poland. Asking price is 100k€ As far as the C-Class goes i currently own a 1999 W202 C180 Wagon and i cannot describe how much i love this car. Yea its not fast but its comfortable and extremely reliable, and very fuel efficient.

Definitely not a standard model but it's still listed as its own model in the Mercedes archive like the C32 Sports Coupe. It's interesting that it lists a conversion price of 57,420 DM for the C55 if you had your C43 converted. mercedes-benz-publicarchive.com/marsClassic/en/instance/ko/C-55-AMG-station-wagon--S-202-E-55-1998---2000.xhtml?oid=5566
