As most of the reports suggest? Are the K & Diesel ones tunable?
Am looking for a med sized hatch, the sport coupe's always been an attractive option for me but not sure im liking what i hear in magazine reports etc.

Ideas of running costs etc would be handy also..
Cheers !

I've got a C220 CDI. I bought it as I wanted the drive of the saloon and its cruising ability on motorways, but not its bulk, slowing it down when not in straight lines. I'm pleased with its ability, it's not nervous but still reasonably agile. 3 years on I'm not bothered about changing it, when I have glanced at magazines I haven't seen anything with it's combination of boot and fuel tank size, both of which are important to me.

In normal use I get 40-45 mpg, although this drops below 40 with prolonged urban use. i understand there are plenty of chipping options for all variants.

I hope this helps, any further questions. let me know.
