#7292 of 7297 Looking for a '95 C220 by paul_p Jul 24, 2007 (2:27 pm)
Hi All, After selling my Y2k C230 over a year ago, I'm looking for a car like the new C220 Mercedes I leased back in 1995. Does anyone have long term experience with these cars who could tell me what to watch out for wear-wise on a '95 C220? I'm familiar with the "nature of the beast" up to about 40k miles when I traded mine for the Y2k (gas gauge issues & a/c condensor). I know it's personal but imho nothing made today has the same combination of handling, solidness, ride, and looks. Or it could be nostalgia! Regardless, I'm considering owning such a car again, or possibly a '96 through '01 E-Class. - P. Replies to this message: plekto (Jul 24, 2007 6:04 pm)

#7295 of 7297 Tire Pressure Display by thumper1221 Oct 12, 2009 (7:10 am)
Does the C-Class Tire Pressure Monitoring System display the PSI in each tire or does it just provide a warning light on the dash? I really like this feature on the Acura TSX, but I am struggling to find comparables. Replies to this message: gkg680 (Oct 12, 2009 9:13 pm)

Replying to: thumper1221 (Oct 12, 2009 7:10 am) I recently bought a 2010 C300. Nice car, like driving a bank vault, solid, but tire pressures are not displayed, you get an idiot light. I considered a TSX but would've liked a manual transmission with a certain color scheme, and they're hard to find in my locale. C300s with a stick shift are even rarer. Both cars, I believe, are wonderful values. Sadly, I had many distractions, was having problems with my old car, and needed a car in a hurry, hence, didn't negotiate from strength or get as far under MSRP as I would've liked. I think you'll be happy with either one, tho. I like driving a V6 after years of owning 4 cylinder cars, and the automatic transmission has been fine, I live in a large and congested city, but I might be rationalizing a bit. Best of luck with whichever car you choose, thumper.
#7297 of 7297 C300 - Any Reliability Issues? by artautowriter Nov 10, 2009 (6:48 pm)
We're considering buying a 2010 C300 Sport. I know the older C-series had problems with electrics & perhaps other areas. What experience does anyone have with the '09 or '10s? We're down to this C300, an Audi A6 Quattro & my wife likes the boring Lexus ES. One of these will replace a leased BMW 328i that has been fantastic. Wife says it's too small even though same size as C300. Go figure. Thanks. Norm
