My previous car 2006 MB C200CDI

So here it is. I've driven it for 1,5 years and even as a BMW fan I must say this is a great car. It doesn't drive like a BMW at all. This car moves from left to right if you go into turns, it understeers heavily and to get it to oversteer you need a wet track and patience. Even due to these things the handling is not that bad. I drove the car on a circuit and was amazed about cornering capabilities despite the heavy body roll. So for sporty drivers this isn't the car you really want.
If you are looking for a comfy car than this really is your choice. The seats are perfect, the driving noioses are realy low and (and I will realy miss this one thing) the stereo installation in this car is simply amazing. High or low tones at max volume, no problem. Ear damage and perfect sound quality, no problem.
The engine is realy not powerfull enough for this car. Once you got it going it is nor fat nor slow, but it realy takes time to get upt to speed. If you don't slip the clutch and rev it up to the max you're slow period. Overtaking on the other hand is not ht big of a problem. So this car lacks low end torque. My mother in law has a 115 hp 318d E90 (one of the first series) and it is remarkably faster although it has 5 hp less.
This 'T modell' has a big boot and with the rear seats down you can even transport your mother in law:D or any other whale.
So I must say that in its own way I liked this car. It looks good end it's comfy but it misses the true driving pleasure I enjoy when driving a BMW. Enjoy the pics.

Nice review! :t-cheers:

I expected your C200 CDI to be one of the cheaper trim versions with plastic hubcaps and Classic trim, but I am glad that it looks pretty upscale. :usa7uh:
