'04 Mars Red C230K Sport Coupe (not Coup-EH)
You're listening to tuscanraider, E? I thought you were smarter than that 
.
Quite frankly I'm surprised he hasn't been banned for being a troll on these forums. Every time he opens his mouth it's basically a derogatory comment.
Also, quite frankly, given the choice between a manual C230 sedan (my brother's) and an automatic C-coupe (mine), I prefer mine every time, despite my (very much) wanting a manual. Quite ironically, had I borrowed my brother's car yesterday, I wouldn't have been able to pick up a TV for him, as it wouldn't have fit in his car. Hatchback FTW.

Yeah, he has spewed his crap for years about the coupe. He said he went for the sedan as it was better, but I can't for the life of me figure out how. I have had both and I like my coupe better in many different ways.
Besides, he drives a Crapillac now and if we are going to talk ugly lets get started on those.

Yep, you guys are right. Hell, I was ready to mobilize the troops with a quick PM.
I had Rage Against the Machine in my head..
"Rally round the family....With a pocket full of shells."
You guys would actually be disappointed with the amount of stuff I have carried in my Coupe. I'm talking, Engines, Boxes, Freight, etc. I so love my Coupe.

I miss mine all the time and have thought about picking up another one. I used to get my dog cages and all kinds of crap in the back. It is a Benz heavy hauler! 
Hell, I see the '02's going really cheap and I never had an issue with my '02 up to 98,000 miles when I got rid of it.

You forgot about my plates for the first time Phil 
Haha, no need to geet midevil on me. It's all opinions or we'd all be driving the same cars. I've been in the Mini cooper, I love how it handles and feels fast. It feels very roomy in the front two seats for that size. I don't like the rear end of the C coupe for some reason. It seems cut off and I've always disliked it. 
I know that the coupe is a "benz" but I wouldn't buy a car just because it had a brand name. I would look as the overall package.

Too many to list
Another thread about the dreaded coupe....oh gosh, but I prefer the Mini over it any day. Whatever the argument is, sales killed the coupe in the US. And I couldn't agree more.

Personally, i prefer the sedan, but that's because it suits my needs better. I would take a Mini over the C coupe, but thats not to say the coupe is bad. I think tuscanraider took the coupe hating a bit too far. People buy what THEY like.
