Lovely looking cars, congrats on the purchase.

[JKay]

Thanks. I was going to get a 335i but then changed my mind at the very last minute.

This looks much fresher to me

[va1o]

Congratulations

What have you gone for?
Spec Engine?

I had a white one with a pano roof at the launch; awesome cars and they look stunning. Good choice.

[amg master]

great car, just make sure you get the pan roof it looks amazing and it breaks the car up also red leather looks good.

probably the best colour combination you can have.

I had to go for the E200 Coupe in the end. Due to high import duties here in Malaysia, its costing me near £90k. THe E350 would set me back £115k.

We dont get to spec cars like in the UK Merc Malaysia gives u what they deem as desirable spec. U just choose colour and transmission. But yes is has the pan roof

[Not Ideal]

Wow didn't realise that - so basically all the cars have identical spec..?? Makes buying a second hand one much simpler..!!

Thats the 220 CDI and 250 CDI IIRC. Applies to all cars with that engine, so basicly the W204 and W212.

651 is new the 250 cdi.

Trend seems to be the injector(s) are failing around 8k-10k. Were told at work is was because Delphi decided at the last minute to change the type of glue they were using, hence this rather large cock up!

There isn't really a recall either as yet, if the car's broke down it's coming in & being sorted. There's been a bit of a shortage on the injectors at the moment, not everyone can get hold of them!

Im sorry but thats wrong, there is a BIG recall for this it's 4248. AND it can happen at any mileage, i've had cars as low as 49mls on the clock to 2,500mls.

Sorry but i just dont get it, how is that a better looking car and different from a CLS.
and IMO a 3 series coupe beats it hands down for style

It's different from a CLS because it's only a 2 door Coupe, not a 4 door saloon; it's also a much smaller car.

As for it being not as stylish as a 3 Series Coupe....I guess it's different taste's and all that, but if you want something that looks like every other car on the road then you go ahead and get a 3 Series. My money would go on something a bit more individual.

MB do build handsome cars, and have done in the past, i'm not denying that. But for me the 3 er is one of the most resolved, subtle coupe designs on the road for any amount of money, just my opinion but there you go.
and as for looking like every other car on the road, i always find this amusing as Merc and Audi have been trying to compete with the 3 er now for 30 years. you cant help looking like every other car on the road if they all copy the way you look.

[Dave J]

its realy small inside with poor ventilation and hot footwells with essentially nothing more than a previous C class chassis with a pretty body....

I was choosing between this and an E to replace my C. E order now placed.

"I was choosing between this and an E to replace my C. E order now placed."

Is this car not considered an 'E', or is your 'E' order a four door model?

Thanks,

You've been poorly informed there; it's based on the current C-Class chassis not the previous one. As for the hot footwells I would suggest you drove a car with the a/c directed to the wrong place!
