2006 SLK350 & 2007 B200T
New B200 Turbo down under

Have just brought a B200 Turbo for the wife...
Nice touring wagon for the open road and good to drive around town.

Purchased with folding back sun roof (great) and with luxury pack. It is fun to drive and the back quickly converts to a large completely flat space which has come in handy already.

Was a little bit expensive but it has suited the job we have selected for it.

My SLK350 is a dream to drive and the B200 is enjoyable when the family is with you or you have some bulky gear to carry.

For the people that knock the B, buy a Ford (I've had one of those and not really impressed!)

I'm serioulsy looking at getting a B200 CDI, it's about the right size for a second car, they look good and from all that I have heard drive well too.

we dont get the 200cdi here in OZ, just the 180cdi. i prefer the b200 petrol to it as they are the same price(here at least) and it delivers better performance with only a minor economt hit. how does b200cdi compare to b200 turbo (petrol) price wise in NZ??

No idea about NZ prices, I moved to Norway 14 months ago, the B200 CDI here is quite a bit cheaper than the B200 turbo.

buying a merc is about prestige and that comes with a price tag
