It's a 2005 Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor sedan (called a "meh" Mercedes by someone in this forum, and apparently has less power than a Civic Si! :rolleyes: But it's okay. ) It has 75,xxx miles. (72k when I got the car.) One owner carfax (well, I'm the second owner now.), never been in an accident. It has the M271 engine. (supercharged 1.8L engine) When you drive it, it sounds quiet, but when you hear it from the outside, it is surprisingly loud! Probably because of the huge exhaust that comes with these cars :lol: And AMAZING gas mileage!!!


As far as 0-60 time is concerned, I want to say in the mid 7's.

For those of you who love Corvettes - My colleague has one (he works at the same place I'm interning at). His car collection includes a 2013 Corvette 427 edition.

Also, with the Kompressor sedans, they come with ventilated front disc brakes, which I think are pretty cool.

Here is a picture of my best friend's car and mine. We washed our cars and we were letting them dry.

The interior!! It's torture sitting in it after a hot day outside :lol:

When I unlock the vehicle when it's dark, the car senses that it's dark and switches on the courtesy lights. ( I tested this, I unlocked it in the daytime and it didn't switch on, only in the nights)

One more picture, and you can stop being bored :lol:

For those of you wondering about the license plate, it is a tribute to my mentor (my great uncle who passed away in 2008). His first car in Singapore had those same letters (and spacings).

Nice Merc dude! What are your plans for it?

Thank you!

No major plans as of now - I'm thinking about getting an auxiliary cable installed. As far as performance is concerned, it's more than enough for me. :)

Says the kid who bought a Fox Body built to drag race :lol:
 
Very nice. I've always had a soft spot for the hatchback versions of the W203, but the sedans are fantastic as well.👍
 
Can confirm that black interior gets hot. Doesn't help that your car is also black :lol:
Good to know that the car runs good and hasn't had any big problems, although it will be a good idea to get a full check up at 95k miles. Since it's the 1.8L K, it has the 5-speed auto, right?
Edit- @Xilor I HATE the W203 (well, CL203) coupes. Just... Gross looking back.
Edit Again-yes, these cars are slow as hell. It's not even funny :lol:

Yep, 5 speed auto!

:lol: In all honesty though, W203's are pretty quick 👍 Dat supercharger whine :drool:
 
Update: got the car fully detailed, pics to come soon, if it doesn't rain :banghead:

Oh, and I forgot to say. It has the AMG package. Basically, it looks exactly like a C32 AMG.
