Angry hahah you have the Cheapest Benz!

Wtf? some kid with his souped up honda told me that while i was driving with my 2007 silver c230...I know its the most affordable of the benz but it still is way better then a honda civic...with after market parts.

I think its just hate! cause a lexus is250, benz c230, and bmw 3 series **** on their rides so they have to hate on your car.

bottom line its still a benz.

I just tell them "At least my car company doesn't make lawn mowers"

That usually shuts them up.

True. But they don't know that. And if they do, just ask them if their car has electronic ignition or a pull start.

Hey now, Honda makes some damn good lawn mowers. Our Honda lawn mower is as old if not older than i am and runs great. It starts on the first pull every single time.

I agree with you 100% those things are damn near bullet proof. Have you seen the video where they put nos to a mower? That thing would just not die.

So I got the cheapest benz and live in the cheapest house in the hood, I can live with that, no shame there. Just a loser trying to feel more important than he is. The wealthiest people in the world don't drive the flashiest cars, take Warren Buffet as a great example an unpretentious lifestyle.

you should have explained to them that in Europe they make classes below yours like the a class and b class, and therefore yours isn't the lowest class mercedes........ or you could ask yourself why it matters what they think?

While the list of cars you produced may be the cheapeast of their respective makes, they are some of the best cars of their respective makes. Don't let other people's opinions influence you, especially little kids. If you are that gullible (which I know you are not), perhaps you're not fit to be a Mercedes-Benz driver.

Ironically, when I think about the BMW 325i, I don't think of it as the "cheapest BMW" even though it is. This is because BMW started by making small cars and later went to making larger ones while Mercedes made larger cars and then made smaller ones.

In conclusion, the size of someone's car is not definitive of that person. Some people (like myself) simply think "less is more" and personally I enjoy the benefits of driving a smaller car (such as easier parking). Also, the Mercedes C is the smallest four-door RWD car sold in the country (if I'm not mistaken). Since I like small cars and RWD is a prerequisite, I may be driving C-Class, 3-Series type cars for the rest of my life, and I'd be very content with that life. If Honda made a RWD Civic that handled well, sign me up.

Whatever. Honda makes good cars for the masses. But a Mercedes has more engineering behind it and I really doubt that the Honda had everything the MB has: 8 air bags, stability control, ABS, etc. Sure, it may be the least expensive Benz, but it's still got more engineering and safety equipment than that Honda.
