C hatchback
Has anyone driven the new hatchback? The reviews seem pretty good. I think they're made in Brazil, and I wonder about their quality.

Are you referring to the 2002 C230? It is called the C-Coupe. Do a search. Never heard that the car is made in Brazil.

I rented the Sport Coupe (with Sport Package-had 17" alloys)with a 2.3 litre CDI diesel engine in Europe a few months back.
I liked that car a lot. A little goofy-looking from the rear, but I'd think you'd get used to it. Big wheels definitely help the looks, and the car ran like a champ all the way to 140+ MPH...solid as a Mercedes

I have never driven it, but I just cannot seem to get over the styling of the rear. Plus I have some sort of personal vendetta against hatchbacks, regardless of whether they are called coupes. I will never own a hatchback as long as I live.

Ali,
What don’t you like about hatch backs? I’ve owned 3 (Datsun Z car, MGB GT, and Porsche 928) and thoroughly enjoyed them.

C class SportCoupe
I have driven the C 180 (manual and auto) and the C200 Kompressor SportCoupes.
They are well made (in Germany), comfortable and good value for the money. Quality standars? In par with W210 E-class, centuries away from a W124 or W140. Hatchback issues? I don't dislike hatchbacks, but this SportCoupe is identical to a Renault Safrane seen from the back, and THAT is discomforting. If you buy one, DEFINITELY get the Panorama Sunroof!! A.

I am driving my C240 this week after it has been tucked away under the car cover in my garage for awhile. I'm not driving it much until we get past our pay cut, in case I have to sell it.
Every time I drive it again it's like I got a new car. It handles, drives and runs amazingly. It has the sweetest clutch and transmission I have driven in a long time. The handling on a winding farm road is amazing for a sedan. I expect the coupe to drive as well or better. Great cars! |
