Cool down dude, first perfect your knowledge about any car or "Mercedes" and then comment like " you guys have never driven it and just keep on giving foolish opinions..."
There were 2 AMG before C55, they were with an inline 6 3.6L and 4.3L V8, C36 and C43.
Also, increase your language skills, read again, I have written "Buying a E200 Kompressor is like buying a 2.0D in Corolla".
So a 200 kompressor in E class lineup is like what a 2.0D is in Corolla lineup.
To understand this, you can drive a cheap 2005 316I and enjoy the smoothness and sound of engine, no one pays 4M to drive a 4 Cylinder forced induction engine that does not sound even as good as a Civic.
beta tumhari camry accord ki marr kai rakh daiti ho woh car... you guys have never driven it and just keep on giving foolish opinions...
You are comparing a Car (E class) that is nearly 3 times costly then Accord/Camry.
No one buys an Execuive car to race, else a 1.4M Mazda RX8 is enough to run circles around the E class, E class is for refinement and crusing comfort.
However you can any day come with your E200 KOMPRESSOR, I will arrange a JDM CL9 and we will see how much guts the 1.8L Mercedes has.
Just because Mercedes makes an engine that does not necessary means that it is superior then Toyota or Honda.
tell me your range and what type of cars do you like .i'll find a perfect match for you
Whatever Mercedes you have seen or you can arrange, I can better it, if it is not an North American model, also commercial selling is not allowed on PW.
@JetPilot
Sir you can opt for an E240 pre facelift models 2002-2006 (manufacturing date), not import date, if your budget is less then 4M, if you can accommodate more, you should go for the face lift W211, E200CDI preferably.
If you need a small car you can go for the W203 C class (which I do not recommend) with 2004 onwards (change dash and steering rack), C230 is best, for less then 4M.
If you can go beyond 4M, you can get a new face, square lights W204, which is much better, C200CDI or C180 (which are rare).
Unfortunately, I cannot help you in buying as you are in Islamabad.
Mr. Storm is the best person who can help you, you should request him for his time.
Best of luck and regards
