I too live in Colorado (north of Denver) and I have a C230 Kompressor Sport. We have owned iot for three and 1/2 years purchasing it with 6K and it now has 51K. We had taken it in for service several times to get the 1-2 shift adjusted (too hard) and the dealer replaced several parts, internal and external including the front flexdisk. Never did really resolve the shift problem. We had a poor running issue when cold, replaced the FI controls, then a rattle when not started for several days, dealer replaced the Kompressor and Clutch. I have replaced the front rotors and pads, and three sets of tires. Fun to dirve quotant is very high. MPG = 27 to 33. I would but another one if I could find a clean one that I could afford.
