Bought my C230K new years eve 2009 after selling my Subaru Impreza WRX typeRA on Christmas eve

This is my 3rd Merc. I used to have a 1990 190, sold that to buy my current 190E.

This is my daily drive.....

Tidy. I must admit I do like the 230K C class.

It was only the interior on the C class that put me off.

How do you find it compares to the 190?

That's lovely, I'm quite partial to the facelift W202 in sport trim, I had an esprit but always wanted it to turn into a sport!

I found the W202 to be a decent enough car, the only things I found inferior to the 190 was the finish of the bodywork and some of the interior materials. But I liked the way the dash still had a bit of the old Merc look about it and had no qualms about the mechanicals, I racked up a few miles in mine and it was totally reliable, no problems at all. Just a shame it was only 8 years old and had rust on all wheel arches and around the boot lock...

Yours is immaculate though, proof there are good ones out there!

The C230K & the 190 are totally different.

The C230K has the power and handling and a lot more modern. I keep up with my girlfrineds Impreza round the twisty roads in it, then pass her on the straights

The 190 feels a lot better quality-wise, slower, but being a 190, it speaks for itself. It feels like how a classic should.

The C230 has rust in a few places, whereas the 190 has none.



If i had to keep one and sell one, I'd keep the 190
