Having owned an e280 W210 for the best part of 18 years until it died, I'm now after a c class and would like some advice please?
I'm toying with the idea of an Estate (no children/pets), but the occasional ladder, wood and ikea furniture. I note the W204 estate is about the same length as the W210.
or
W204 Saloon.
I'm told some of the saloons, have rear seats which fold down. Is this from a particular year? or Model? This would offer practicality.
Which ever vehicle i go for it needs to be:
Petrol & Automatic and ideally CO2 emissions under 165.
Perhaps half urban and half motorway driving.
I've seen the estates with a sports trim but just a 1.6L on a c180. Can a 1.6L engine be any fun to drive on an estate or even a saloon? I worry it may be under powered. For the vehicle to be described as Sport, I'm assuming it must have some extra power. Or am i mistaken?
Budget is about £7000-£10,000.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
