I have a 2012 C350cdi…it’s a FANTASTIC car…! Brilliant performance and I can get 60mpg on a run…Just bought. 2021 Alfa….had it for 3 months, similar performance but the Merc so much better as a car, selling the Alfa and keeping the Merc, so easy to drive with the massive torque….Alfa does 25mpg…had the Merc for 9 years, done 100,000 and only had 2 small issues (maf sensor and wheel speed sensor) massively underrated and a BRILLIANT car…!!!
How would you know if you had that option if you bought from a private seller or local dealer? Asking because I’m looking to buy one and there’s one near my area for about 14k with 110000 miles
Once again great review, Altho I dont like the look of the older C classes, They are quite nice. Side note, Ive got some wheel spacers for the W205 if anyone is interested 2x 15mm 2x 20mm if anyone needs them 🤣🤣
Thanks for the information. Mine is been delivered this weekend. AMG super sport plus version. White and black with maxton trim all around. Splitter, skirts and diffuser. Like a kid at Christmas..
I used to have this but the C250. Was such a beautiful car and was a pleasure to drive. It had an oil leak that eventually lead to engine failure so I had to write the whole thing off as scrap. I’ve recently been looking at getting another one, but don’t know whether to get this year model or a newer one. I can still feel the power on my C250 so I can only imagine how the C350 feels. I’m still not over it 😢
@@ryderm3907 Yes, quite a big difference. In some cases, dpf delete and decat can liberate as much power as the map itself, but usually a good 10-15bhp. It allows the engine to breathe - the quicker it can get exhaust gasses out, the quicker it can get fresh air in.
I have the slight older w204 350 estate running 320bhp and 700nm it drives like new and will swallow e300s and all the other boy racers love the humiliation when boy racers get gapped by an estate car 😂 jokes aside that 3.0l v6 is one of the best engines merc ever made in my opinion
My E class shares the same engine and gearbox and in normal D when using the paddles its like yeah maybe then changes whenever it wants but I can put it in manual this should also have that then it actually listens to you when you want it to downshift and upshift.
Definitely wish i had this engine in my c250 cdi but other than that, rhese w204s are very solid, thats why you see so many around on the roads still in australia
Looks like its only us that noticed. I think there are some models that have an additional button on the dash. I zoomed in on the video and it's going into sport mode.
I’ve got the exact same car in white with dpf delete egr delete and a stage 1 remap.. not sure on bhp but got to be over 300bhp and the torque it produces is ridiculous.
I bought a 2011 swift (newer generation) in January. Very good, economical car. I will get an armrest fitted tomorrow morning at the dealership. I miss a sixth gear (it only has five) and it is not very fast. It is very reliable though. Check for rust and faulty "self realignment" in the steering column. (Don't know the right words). But the car should return to a neutral position with the steering wheel after a turn!
Whenever I see automatic gearboxes changing gears around 1800 RPM and drives around 1300 RPM just breaks my heart. Only downside of automatic cars , they are pretty comfortable tho,
