I get about 380-450 miles depending on highway/city driving.
The tank is 16 gallons so you can calculate.

I spotted a black 2002(3?) C320 in my parking lot rocking 2007 wheels.
Actually, don't really like how they look somehow...
I may snap a couple side-by-side pix if I remember to

Yeah right you gonna mod it... You can fit a car seat. Rear facing seats probably in the middle to maximize how far front seats can be pushed back. They out grow those in the 1st year then you go with the standard front facing ones that fit no problem. Trunk you should be able to fit most of the bulky strollers and baby bag but nothing else large. I got my w203 when my 2 kids were 7 and 5 and drove them around with them in the back fine. My kids are teenagers now, they still fit just don't let both of them ride in the back so the car won't rub

If you do pick one up I'd suggest getting one with the 60/40 fold down rear seats if you plan on hauling larger items

yeah, they grow up quick enjoy every minute when they are little. I'll be 34 this year, had my 1st when I was 17. Fold down seats were a factory option not all came with them.

Here's proof how comfy it can be in the back seat lol. The good days, coming back from the parade back when we weren't a d league team.

As my youngest turns 5 this year, I just picked up a set of seat bottoms with the built n boosters and a head/neck support frame to route the belt correctly. Will be adding pictures and updates to the "w203 Rear Folding Seats / Ski-Sack / Retrofit / Removing Back Seat" thread.

BTW...what did the OP choose?!?!
