Hi all, my name is Titus and I recently joined the USAF and am looking to buy a 2005-2007 C-230. I'm trying to do all the research I can right now so I get a good car. Just thought I'd introduce myself. I look forward to mkeing some new friends here.

personally I think:
2005 C230 - heck lot of more fun to drive in the city because of the power in the low rpms
2006-2007 - nicer for highway
regardless of all the other differences like 5 vs 7 speed, better vs worse gas mileage etc, this would be the only criteria Id be looking for.
Good luck with your future purchase

Thanks for the responses. I've been looking at the 2005 Sedan, manual, Kompressor. I was also looking at maybe a C55 manual if I can find one. Are there any major issues that are common with these cars? And what kind of maintenance costs do these cars have?(i.e.-Brakes, oil changes, basic work)

Welcome to the Forum, and thanks for your dedication in the USAF !!!
I say you can't beat the 2005 C230....newer styling, 4-cyl supercharged engine, which = great fuel economy. I've gotten 36.7 mpg with mine. Why buy a hybrid???

Personally, I like the wheels on the 2007 C230 and the 2007 C280 the best. If you're going to get aftermarket, then that doesn't matter. I'm thinking about getting some refinished dual-spoke 2002 rims next year...
