Question??

Hi,
I would like to know what are the differences between the 02 c180 and the 03 c180k.. Also, is there much difference between the 180k and the 200k...
I'm trying to choose a car, but before I do so I would like to know what I would be sacrificing in a 200k for all the extras I would be putting in a 180k....
thanks....

The 02 C180 has no kompressor. The 03 C180 has a kompressor and 14HPs more (129 vs 143)

Both engines have their good sides. The 02 C180 engine has a very good reputation to last forever. Its a very durable engine. The 03 C180 has a little more horsepower but noone can say how durable it is (yet).

Differences between 03 C180K and 200K, practically same engine but 143HP vs 163HP. Its up to you if you think the powerdifference is significant. Personally I would go for the C180K and add some more options instead.

Pax, what country are you in? I'm assuming its not the US if you are looking at a C180.
