New Here (2006 C230 Questions)
Hi guys i'm a n00b here so sorry if there is already a topic on this.
I am currently looking at an '06 C230 and am wondering if the v6 engine has any problems that I should be aware of? We currently own an '05 C230K and love it. Never had any problems with it at all. I am curious to know, Is the 1.8L better than the 2.5L? Are they both similar in gas mileage? Both similar in power? Any help would be great! Thanks in adavance.

i took it back and picked up an 06 and the gas mileage is no where near as good.. maybe 25ish on my same trip to work.. which is disappointing, but then again, its better than my 10mpg i was getting in my truck
as for reliability issues, i havent noticed anything yet. the only thing ive heard of is the pulley going out, which happend to mine, but the warranty covered it

if i had a choice, i woulda taken white in a heartbeat.. ive never really liked white in cars other than benz's and bimmers, but its all in what you want and more importantly, where you keep it. if its garaged all the time, its not going to be a problem with the black
