- W203 C180 Kompressor Coupe (57 reg)
I've been running a W203 C220 CDI Coupe for 6 years. 45k on the clock when I bought it. Now over 135k and still going strong.
Sadly it's a real rot-box and we've decided enough is enough and it's time to get a newer, tidier version.
Ideally it would be a straight swap for an 09 or 10 reg as I love the bomb-proof CDI engine. The thing that worries me is all the negative publicity about diesel and cities talking about congestion-charge premiums and outright diesel bans.
So 2 questions really - what do people here think about the future for diesel and what is the considered opinion of the CLC/CLK petrol engines. I've heard that only the higher BHP 1.8ltr *** 200K is really worth buying - the others being sadly underpowered.
Would really appreciate your comments.
Cheers
