C200 CDI 2010
Glad to finally be back after nearly a decade of other cars. None of them live up to the Mercs I had, and now I'm the new owner of a 2010 C200 CDI.

I owned two 190's about 8-10 years back, unfortunately had to sell both of them after a spate of bad luck (and being poor) in my 20s I couldn't afford the repairs. Sorely wish I kept the 2.0 190 D . Slow as an ox but I loved it, and it could happily run on olive oil in a pinch. Would buy it back if I could find it. White, 1990, 2.0, sounded like a tractor and 0-60 in half a minute.

Anyway I can't get over how refined my 'new' C200 is, even as the base model with not many toys it'll still leaps ahead of a 2010 Jag I got rid of.
That being said it does feel a little sluggish. I read somewhere that the C200 is the same as the C220 mechanically, so looking at a remap. Does anybody know a good place in or around Gloucestershire?

Cheers, and glad to be back at last

Hello and welcome
Funny you should mention your old White, 1990, 2.0 and that it sounded like a tractor. I just saw a light gold coloured 190 head off at the traffic lights and it sounded like a tractor and had the acceleration of a Ox :D
