Anyone watching this during the quarantine?

Definetely one of those childhood favourite cars we had on my drive. The mercedes W203 was a legend and was a big leap from the mercedes w202

We have. 2003 and 2005 c class still going from new in our family! Never broken. We been also through 2 Land Rovers in that time.

Interior not as nice, but the 4 door C class looked better than the 4 door 3 series. E46 coupe though, beautiful car.

I have a 2000 C240 Mercedes and I absolutely love it to bits. It’s lovely to drive, has good equipment, everything works but the ride is a little on the firm side. I think it’s magnificent and I can’t imagine the 3 Series being any better.

You'd be suprised, i have a 2000 manual 330i saloon. The cars perfect!

Currently have this shape merc c320cdi and have previously had an e46. Quite honestly, they're both decent. And since the merc only cost me £1650 2 years ago and has only needed a battery and aux belt, I imagine it will remain with me for a while longer.

Both hold a special place in my heart.

Just trying to understand this , If you never ever looked at a BMW , why would you not buy one? This same can be said about other brands as well , its a very stupid ( maybe im using the wrong word sorry ) way of thinking , You should try them all out before making a decision . Its kind of fun test driving all the new cars out there before making a decision . You might be surprised at what you find . Some cars are really nice , brand should mean nothing to us common folk if the car makes you happy , I mean they dont pay us to be brand loyal haha . Love the new Volvos though! We have both Bmws and Benz vehicls at home , both have their plus and minus points , I have always found the Benz to be more comfortable , but will never come close to the sporty drive or feel of the BMW the car just feels like its on rails, the BMW on the other hand wont come close to the comfort and smooth ride of our Benz. I love them both for what they are .

Still hanging onto my '07 C350. It's not perfect, but it's painful for me to contemplate the day when it bites the dust. Easily the best car I've owned.

I still like the look of this C-class even 15 years on, but it was from the era when Merc was partnered with Daimler/Chrysler, and its build quality was not good. Body rust and electrical problems are known faults for this generation C. For this reason the BMW was still the better car as BMW never cut corners on build quality like Mercedes did in the mid 90s/early 00s.

+soundseeker63 LOL you have never heard of the subframe chassis issue in the BMW E46? And cooling system in Merc will easily outlast BMWs which are made of plastic. Not saying you're wrong about Mercs - though rust isn't a common issue by the time the W203 came out. You're right about electrical problems affecting 1st-gen C-classes - MY05 update fixed this. And you're right about general build quality dropping in this era of Mercs.

donkgated Well maybe I am biased as I have owned 5 BMWs including a '00 318i like we see here and never had any serious issues with it apart from central locking/alarm and stereo issues, which are all minor electrical niggles. I do remember that Mercedes was ranking very lowly in owner satisfaction surveys around this time and a few acquaintances also said they were disappointed with their build quality. Which is why I consider early 00s Mercs best avoided. More recent versions seem to be much better, and I find BMW too common now so would actually take a new C-class over a new 3-series.

Merc fan growing up but my first car was a bmw, it was an opportunity and i did't hesitated.

2000 CLK430 & 2000 BMW323CI .Both have been running strong no problems for the last 7 years. I have had S class .And 5series but 535i Had problems Also So yeah I like Them both . Depending on the model

Bought a 2003 E46 316i sedan 2 years ago with little mileage. Honestly? Well, yeah, only 115hp. But it looks timeless both outside and inside, especially from the inside... it looks as if it was designed 5 years ago. It has one of the most beautigul steering wheels I have ever seen - the sports multifunction one from the facelift. I mean, yeah, the engine really isn't powerful, but it has soul, if you know what I mean. It needs to rev high, and when you're in the right gear on mountain roads, that 16 valve howl in high RPM is really engaging when you put the pedal to the floor. At a certain RPM range on the highway, you can really hear the vanos when it "roars" between 3k and 4k rpm. Still puts a smile on my face, even if it's slow. Oh, and rather good MPG. Only 6,5-7 liters per 100km on the highway which is geat for such an old car. Oh, and the handling? Goodness, I have new tires and new OEM Bilstein suspension + springs. When I drive on winding roads, it's as if it is glued to the road although I have no sports suspension or anything. It really is great to drive. Reliability? Well... that's a different matter. Mine needed a lot of work in terms of new gaskets to combat oil leaks and general repairs, like a broken crankshaft sensor or a broken ignition coil. I did it all myself, so it was only the parts - essentially dirt cheap. But if you'd have to bring it to a shop, it could end up costing a lot. The Mercedes, on the other hand, has a lot of issues of rust, which the E46 facelift doesn't gor the most part. You can pick your poison, but I am happy with my E46. It's the kind of car that makes driving a fun experience where you are focused and enjoy it - which contributes to safety 😛 And I want to stress the interior again: It looks a) extremely timeless and b) the materials are great. Lotsa quality.

I just wanna add for information for these, looking for this type of Mercedes, that the facelift of the Benz w203 in 2004 decreased the rust problem and if you buy lower trim model like the C180, electrical failures are much rarer.

The c class is an amazing car only if you take care of them, my parents have a c240 it was a good car with a good engine but because lack of care we destroyed, but we didn't throw away the car we replaced the engine with a w203 c320 engine, which iam greatful that happend lol we paid 500$ for it and it was worth it, the car is relatively fast 0 60 in low 7 high 6 secs, and what j love about this engine it can keep running even if something is broken in it the car sometimes shutsoff but if i just turn it off and on it comes back to life for the whole day, but these days iam taking care of the car since i have a driving license, the car is running as if its new, the only problems i have with it now is the egr valve, and the interior needs a bit of work and its a bit rusty on the outside but besides that its an amazing car
