Still haven't figured it out. Sport vs. Super Sport
***Edit, I figured it out just after posting this thread, but read on if your interested***
Still haven't figured it out. What's the difference between the Australian Delivered 2005-2007 w203 Sports Upgrade the Super Sport models?
I've been told mine is the Avantgarde with Sports upgrades. But then I see cars that look identical advertised as 'Super Sport' models. All very confusing I must say.
I read this article I happen to find after a lot of searching (all about the w204 on the net these days).
http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mell...25702F0009ED58
From that read, I have concluded [*edit: wrong, read reply below] mine could be the 'Sport Edition' as all the features mentioned, including different front/back wheel sizes, is what my car seams to have.
So what is the 'Super Sport' I keep seeing advertised?
Ok, but here is where it gets even more interesting. On our Rebook site (www.redbook.com.au) there is no Super Sport or Sport Edition mentioned at all, just the lineup with Sport upgrade options.

I pulled the year back in Redbook to 2005, mines 2006, and in 2005 there WAS a Sports Edition in the lineup. But only for that year. So I guess this means my MY2006 model is the Avantgarde with Sports Upgrades?
PS
I found out the Super Sport came in the C180 model or C200 Wagon, but not C200 Sedan. Mystery solved.

If your as confused as I am writing this, here is a summery;
*Sports Edition ran in 2005 models only.
*Super Sports was only for w203 C180k and wagon [which included C200k].
*Other models that have similar features must be Classic, Elegance or Avantgarde models with the Sports upgrade.
Looks like mines either the elegance or avantgarde with Sports upgrade.

Ha ha, glad I cleared this up for myself. Just gotta find out now if mine was the Elegance or Avantgarde. But after the Sports upgrades, there really isn't any difference as far as I can see via Redbook comparison on the 'standard features list'. The Avantgarde would have had superior woodgrain to the elegance but the Sports upgrades would have nulled that with the Aluminium Sports inserts. There also something about the Avantgarde having 'Chrome Interior highlights' but I'm not sure if mine has these.
And strangely enough, the Elegance, according to the Redbook, was $800 more then the Avantgarde base price.

. When I did my research for my next car, I did all the reseach on BMW & Audi. I never thought a Merc in my price range would come along. So even now I own one, I am still learning about it.Although Merc has been my favourite of the German makes since childhood.

I kinda like the big American cars you guys have. Over here in Australia, they are a bit of a novelty. I am a large car fan but the C200 is by far better then any GM car I've driven. If I had my way entirly, I like the E-Class but my wife wanted something smaller, she's in her late 20s and still hasn't got her license. She didnt like my previous car, Holden Caprice, due to its long wheel-base design.
Mine looked exactly like this one;
(black interior for mine)
It had everything, memory seats, DVD system, V8 engine, climate control, reverse dipping mirror etc etc etc. But it was not a Mercedes
