Hi all,
I'm very interested in buying a c250, after driving one and reading lots of reviews - I'm hooked.
I've narrowed it down to two cars:
1) 2012 C250 1.8 BlueEFF AMG Sport, 23k (auto)
2) 2010 C250 1.8 CGI BlueEFF Sport 44k (auto)
I did a lot of reading RE the cosmetic changes with the face-lift in 2011, but have there been any mechanical differences?
A few questions:
- What's the difference between CGI and non- CGI?
- Is it still the M271 engine in both cars?
- I believe the 2010 has the 5G autobox, whilst the 2012 has the 7G. I read that the 5G autobox in the 2010 model is far superior to the 7G auto box, would you agree?
Also, there's a £3000 difference between the two cars, quite a bit of money so I really want to chose wisely !
Any help would be very appreciated
