Owner has good taste
Definitely
❤
And that's no AMG package 😮 And still looks sexy 👍
How do you recognise the amg pack ?@@erikgundersen1
@@tntxxplosive So easy!AMG pkg is one to one with full body kit from C32 AMG ( front&rear bumper+ special fat side skirts) and also sport break system.Look at the pictures and you will see big difference 🤔
Ah yes ! Back when the numbers “E350” actually meant you had a 3.5 litre engine
These days a c63 is actually a c20
Yes and the new one after that is going to be like a Tamagotchi where you need to charge the batteries or replace them.
Embarassing
Back then, same generation and engine, getting an E280 meant you got a 3.0 and the E230 got you a 2.5
@@michaelavilov3443 even better! 👍👊
ackchyually it would be a c20 kompressor 😂
No plasticky fake vents, no silly giant screens…just a well made car to enjoy with adequate power!
Hi Martijn,
Thank you so much for the awesome review of my car.
I'm very happy that you enjoyed the car as much as I do and will definitely hold on to it.
The clutch was replaced a year ago, unfortunately the set that I got wasn't the best... She needs a few minor adjustments here and there and will try my best to make her as perfect as possible.
It's a blessing to own this car.
Lovely car, she is very well maintained, good job
@@topg2820 Thanks man 👍🏼
I will definitely continue to maintain her and keep her as perfect as possible. 😁
@@badrc350Very good taste my guy, hopefully one day i will be able to buy one of these, how reliable are they?
@@thememedealer5301 Thanks, hopefully you will find a good one.
Reliability wise it is quite good. The M272 engine has timing chain and balance shaft issues, but the facelifted cars like mine don't have those problems anymore. Good maintenance is key for longevity.
Overtime however (with every engine regardless of the manufacturer) the chain will stretch and will need to be replaced. Nothing lasts forever unfortunately.
Rust is unfortunately a big issue with the C-Class (many other models aswell of the time) like the rear subframe had holes in it (replaced under warranty by Mercedes) and the doors are also prone to rust like mine.
They are also covered under the warranty, however there is a twist. The car must be serviced by an authorised Mercedes dealership in it's entire service history. Mine was last done in 2016, so my request was declined for new doors.
All in all I would definitely recommend this car. It has it's flaws, but which car doesn't? 🤔
This video reminded me that my 330i is enough and I can have a lot of fun with it without looking for cars with more power
Boy I love N/A V6 engines, own a CLK 320 ('98) myself. Please show us more of those late 90s early 00s cars.
Don't sell that beast❤
That car with a manual is a unicorn🦄 Sound is awesome!
Thats a Mercedes!
When cars had soul and character. Other Fast V6 cars such as the mondeo ST220 and Vectra OPC/VXR are also a rare sight nowadays
This car is stunning and the build quality on these is top tier. something mercedes gets right is its materials somehow they never seem to age and always look fresh. i have a C350 CDI estate (W204) its just over 300bhp and 700nm. its an absolute sleeper of a thing and still looks brand new inside and out even after 160k miles. this W203 really impressed me and has aged very well.
W204 class is one of my favourites. Timeless design that will still turn an eye in a couple of decades. Just like the W203 and possibly, for those who know, the W202. We had a C180 W202 and that thing was indestructible. Had well over 200k km with a replaced instrument cluster so God knows how much it had. Rusted through but it ran and drove well over 200km/h.That C180 was what made me fall in love with old Mercs. I have a BMW E46 and while it's a fun car, I'd much rather have the reliability of the older Mercs.
Not only do I love the N/A 3.5 liter V6, but it's so good to see analog gauges with crisp clear markings. Love this era of Mercedes. Excellent video, guys! I love it.
had a 2014 c350 the car really doesnt stop pulling at the top end.!!!!
what surprises me most is that people are still surprised by the older Mercs! they are quality built cars and feel as new even after many years....i know the smell of an old Merc, smells of quality 👌
Yes! My dad has a 2004 C220 CDI and it has enough technology that it still feels modern and actually drives better than most modern cars anyway.
This was the best C Class ever made. The Facelift W203. It is so well made. So solid and great interior build and material quality. My dad has a 2004 C220 CDI which now has 380,000 kms on. It drives so smooth and the interior still looks new. It is unbelievable. My sister, who is not a car person, recently got taken home from the airport in the new C Class using Uber. She messaged me because she knows I am a car person and she said that the C Class she was in (the new W206) doesn't feel as luxurious as my dad's 20 year old C Class. The first thing she said was that the new one feels cheap and not as solid. It is crazy how far Mercedes as a brand has fallen.
The quality details on the W203 were like no C Class after it. Like the seals that go all the way down the front part of the front doors whereas in Mercs after that generation it did not. The piece of trim on the lower part of the door that slots into another rubber seal at the door sill. It is probably why it is quieter than the W204 I had. More seals. The roller shutter that covers the gap behind the steering wheel whereas new Mercs use a cheap piece of loose vinyl. So many other small things that make the car feel so great compared to generations after it. Love the W203 so much.
It's probably underappreciated and underrated because they're really hard to find in most markets.... hence no one talks about them. Very rare to find this combo. Where I'm from anyway.
Croatia jumps for excitement! Finally, real cars🤩😍
I had this car with this engine in 2010 automatic gearbox and 4 matic . A beast back then .Blue with silver and black interior, rooftop, big navi and seat's buttons on the doors. I'll never forget it. 272 hp lovely to drive it .
The engine and exhaust sounds like a muted Nissan GT-R. Sounds great, could use a tiny bit more bark to bring out that baby GT-R sound.
I had a c230 sport from 2007 till i almost died in it in 2014 where it ended up as a ball of scrap.. it was a very nice car to drive but a nightmare to maintain everything in it would cost me a fortune to fix or replace … im glad it finally found peace and went back to its original form.
Wow this car actually pulls, totally did not expect that
Old Mercedes with manual shift are the real oldschool Kings on the road :D don't they?
M272/273 is so underrated. I've had a 3.5L m272 in a c207 E350 coupe for over 4 yrs now & it is such a perfect daily. My sister has the 2.5 in this same chassis & is also great.
It literally doesn't stop pulling & actually seems angry/disappointed when you let off of it. It will sit at top speed w/ a smile & actually seems more smooth the harder it's pushed. Low end torque has me overtaking people on the hwy near 100mph & not touching 3k rpm. Stupid easy to wrench on as well ✌️🤘
The topher just released a video of a brand new mercedes that rattles more even without miscellaneous objects in the door.
This era of Mercedes wasn’t the best in terms of quality especially after the merger with Chrysler
@@f181234 No. Actually this C Class was the best Mercedes ever made. Especially this facelift. It has way better build and material quality than any C Class that came after it. The W205 and W206 C Classes are awful quality wise.
I had 2003 c180kompressor auto, that thing was absolutely swift and comfortable, had over 300km and was running fine, it used to be so much fun on roundabouts in wet conditions to go sideways 👌🏼 absolutely a undercover car. I always have Mercedes cars since childhood also BMWs but I still have two MLs one body on frame and one is 2012 w166
The smell in w203 comes from the lemon grass which was used in seats instead of standard foam
W203 💪 Great Mercedes era,specially facelift version 2004-2006 those cars with a few modes like suspension,wheels still looks awesome 👍😎
What a clean Merc! 🤍
Great video and car. Definitely appreciate the affordable car reviews way more, keep it up!
I have a 2010 Manual C300, I confirm its the best of its kind
Sound is amazing
immediately I fell in love with it...such a beautiful classic. I'm a bimmer guy but this could be my starting point in owning a Mercedes 🔥🔥
Those were the days
When MB class C was a "real" MB. I search the specs in Zeperfs and is mind-bending the curves of torque and power, like the gearbox ratios. The weight is 1635kg/3605lb in running order, with 6Kg/PS and 214Nm/T. Awesome Cx=0.27... No more text to write in my opinion.
Very surprised with the 100-200 time seems a very healthy engine
So unfair we never got the 6-speed Mercedes in North America, I would have loved that car
According to the US brochure there was exactly the same specs car. Never seen any though
We did get them, but in very few numbers. I've literally seen one hahaha.....
FCP Euro has a spotlight on this same chassis & drivetrain. One of their Mercedes guys (Danny) actually found one & did a few videos on it. There's 6 spd w204's out there too.
You are welcome . Please review 2012 or 2013 mercedes C 350 . Your opinion is very important
This era Mercedes cars were the best looking, proper sedan. 🥰
This is my dream spec mercedes.
A nice sounding engine.
Impressive performance! Held up pretty well also
This car definitely shows what a Real Mercedes is, sad that modern models don’t show that.
Reminds me of my Dad's B6 A4 3.0 V6
Absolutely perfect.
most underrated drivetrain.
Amazing Benz.
Wow this is a beautiful awesome car. If I owned this I’d give it to my kids one day
I like the torque converter gummy bear analogy😂
The W203,W204 and W205 are crazy nice vehicles! Those were the golden days of Mercedes. Wish they'd stop putting so many gimmicks in the newer vehicles :(
This is beautiful
Max is our favorite!🥰
Dis car sounds like the old school LEGENDARY Volkswagen VR6
I also own a 2000s manual V6 Mercedes but 2.6. Agree with every word!
Thing is immaculate! and with a few km!
Still waiting for the day some one brings you a Mitsubishi FTO GPX type R a long forgotten jdm gem with a 2.0lv6 and mivec revving to 8800rpm its the integra type r cousin and rarely filmed in the wild :P The N/A v6 god in the sound department
More videos of older cars would be a win, I think...I'd love to see an FTO here!
my father got c280 2007 360k km and the quality is on point , as you mentioned it smells like old leather till today 😂
Beautiful
So impressive performance
Ik ben gezegend met de c204 350 v6 306 pk 2013 .
Super auto.
Had a manual V6 C230 sport edition from 2006 last year as a second car. Decided to get rid of it, but damn do I miss it. It was such a good drifter with the massive angles the wheels could turb.
I had this car before and till now i missed it. I wish i have it back
That model mercedes is Very comfortable on the road i think with a supercharger it will be a little monster.
Where's this is Max? We miss Max. ❤
Shame it's debadged. C350 in this gen is rare.
You should review a mercedes cls 350 w219/c219
In the pursuit of the best a lot of us have forgotten what strong power really means
I owned a c32 amg.
Please find a c32 amg and take take to max speed.
Unreal piece of machine
I have a C32. Funny thing is I saw another one on the road about a week ago. Too bad we were going seperate ways...
Back in the day i had a E 350 4m and i was envious of direct injected turbos…i sort of felt like
It lacked the latest technology. How foolish i was! I would love to have this similar engine with a manual.
4:00 bro had them fake disabled parking cards. 🤣
It's a wonderful car!
Very good car my oncle same car in 2007 love it sound engine
Nice car
Fabulous
This is a nice car❤
Max and Martin have the same voice lol
Pretty car !
nice car
I miss mercedes
nice color
I wish i could grumpy old man to it .with al the cars i have..Come on man 2006.Wohoo .And it stil is a sleeper car.even 2024,i wish i bought 1 back in the days 😀.great clip .i bought the bmw z4 3.5is because of your clips.And me and my wife love it till today.But also this car .👍
Very rare vehicle… impossible to find one of these here in Brazil 😒
Could you bring a Mercedes CL203 C350 sportcoupe ??
Can you try w204 c350
At list they would have used this engines on a new c63 AMG that's how I feel because this v6's sound good the 280 to the 350 and the AMG 32 which sounded way better
Super xlean C350! Clicked instsntly the moment I saw the title, and wasn't disappointed at all.
Looks like it'd be a fantastic daily 😍🤌
Hi, thanks for the credits.
I drive it mostly on weekends, sometimes during the week if the weather is good.
Man, inflation really got over the car industry as well... Back in the day a C350 meant 3.5 V6, now a C400 means probably a 2.0 i4 :( so you pay more, have the impression to get more, but in reality you get less
Can you make a video with Bmw 740i e65
could you do vid about w208 clk 320?
Try C32 AMG Kompressor !!!!!
Take my money 😍😍😍😍
I need to drive this Benz to school so bad 😂😂
Where in Germany are you doing these test ? Maybe i can offer my car for some video :)
Depending on video u startt 100kmh at 6.54sec and arrive 200 at 7.12 seconds that means 100-200 18 seconds not 16.5
Ayo i literally got those Wheels on my 46 320ci
8:54 that is a wow that only a mercedes can make yo do...
MERCEDES ❤
when are you going to reveal the M3 e92?
I feel like luxury cars and manual don’t really fit together.
Die schnelle Dame Mercedes sager vi🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have C220 CDI T Modell with a c55 AMG Sport Package. Its the Sport Edition. In a very very good condition.
Which Year?
@@erikgundersen1 2007 one of the lasts
@@KADIRSTYL wow 😯 nice 👍 good luck 🤞
It's sad that they don't make different engines. The years are moving and they slowly die.
My c230 was fun to drive just needed more power .
I LOVE SEEING COMMUTER CARS !
