#1538 of 1627 C320 Coupe 2004 by foggy2 Sep 18, 2003 (10:30 am)
My last new car, a mini cooper, bought in 11/03, turned out to be a lemon. I'm ready for speed, comfort ,and dependability. I need flex passenger seating, so the C320 is interesting. But, the negative posting and feed back I get regarding the C-Class and MB in general is making me uncertain. Plus, I don't want to spend a hundred of dollars on parts and repairs when the time comes. Anybody having a great experience with this C320/MB?

Do 16" snow tires and wheels work on the 17" sports sedan stock setup?
#1540 of 1627 Pick up my 04 C230 sedan saturday by ppbskis Sep 18, 2003 (4:18 pm)
Hi people,           Since I am going to be a mb driver I figured I should check out the message board for this car, Boy was I surprised at the amount of chatter on these cars. This car is going to be my wifes daily driver since she " totally totalled her VR6 Jetta last week. I had never considered safety a high priority untill this almost death inducing accident occured. I was really impressed with MB's airbag design and naturally being 40 + I am more than familiar with MB quality. I hope it's all true, the hype that is. As for pricing I'm fairly sure I did well the car is Black Opal,heated seats,sunroof, cd, I dont know what else, but it listed for 36k and my cost is 33k, it's a lease deal that comes out to 1200 down and 470/mo. for 39 mo. I hope to report my wifes happiness with this car in the near future. Bye Joe

No problems. You'd have a better perspective if you'd followed the board since mid '02, like I have when we got our C320. I haven't read many gripes about this car and if we were replacing it, we'd have to purchase an '04 with the same options, plus now I'd take advantage of the Xenon option. The wife loves the "C," wouldn't want a larger car like an E320, and in '02, the only other C-sedan was the C240 which doesn't get any better mileage, even though it doesn't have near the power. You probably will like the C320 too: it drives like a sports car. You really do not need tires that are any lower in profile than stock: it already is a stiff driver. And, the room in the back seat is a lot bigger than you might think.
#1543 of 1627 C vs. M by nyccarguy Sep 19, 2003 (5:13 am)
Well, considering we had a terrible winter here in the Northeast this year (I live in NYC), the next bad winter isn't due for another 4 or 5 years:) I'd suspect that on the other say 355 days a year that it doesn't snow, you'd enjoy the C230K Sedan w/ a 6 speed MUCH more than an M Class. I would advise getting a good set of winter tires and wheels to get you through the winter. Winter tires along with MB's electronic nannies will make the C230K more than capable in the nasty white stuff. Winter driving has much more to do with tires than it does the actual drivterrain setup. The AWD in the M class will make it easier to get going, but what about the M Class' massive weight penalty over the C230K? That extra weight will hurt your braking and handling in the snow (as well as dry weather).

The stock 16" wheels with 205-55-16 tires, and the Sports setup with the 17" wheels and 225-45-17s are about the same size. They can be interchanged.

Previously called "2002-2004 Mercedes-Benz C230", we're expanding the subject title to "Mercedes-Benz C-Class (Coupes & Hatchbacks)". Members can now discuss all C-Class coupes and hatchback models here.   For that that access this discussion via our main category message boards, you may notice this discussion is also linked between our Coupes and Hatchbacks Message Boards. Hope this is helpful.   And thanks for your participation!   Revka Replies to this message: 1foureyes (Nov 11, 2003 5:05 am)
#1546 of 1627 C280 running poor by 1foureyes Nov 11, 2003 (5:05 am)
Replying to: revka (Oct 05, 2003 6:15 pm) Hi Everybody I'm new to owning a Mercedes. I have a 1995 c280 with 135k on it. When I test drove it and brought it home it ran fine. Now I have a miss at idle and when i take off it seems too clear up after about 2500 rpm. I replaced the spark plug and its still there. Any idea's   Thanks
#1547 of 1627 Looking For Opinion On Snow Tires by khice Dec 10, 2003 (10:56 pm)
We're close to concluding a deal on a 2002 E230 Kompressor, automatic, sport package w/17" wheels. Does anyone have an opinion on snow tires for this car? I have Blizzaks on my E320 wagon but, find them very noisy. The Kompressor will be my wife's car so I want good snow / ice performance without too much noise. Dunlop M4 Winter Sports had good reviews at Tirerack. Is there a town forum reader who has tried Hakkapeliitta's? We live north of Chicago.
