2012 C63 AMG, 2012 C300 4matic, 2008 E92 M3
Hate to burst your bubbly on a few arguing points but the 1.8 in your car is the same one in all the old C230Ks and they where not what id call reliable.
Ive been running VMI reports right and left for people still having issues with cam censors failing and oil leaking every where and destroying parts on the car some times to the tune of 2k+
Not only that but they just did a turbo instead of an s/c so this engine the M271 IS still the same old 1.8 that was course like it was in the w203 230K.
Also your denial that the car is more raspy and course up top because you "don't read reviews" doesn't mean its not true.
Also even with extra Tq in you 4. Since obvs as you stated they have the same 0-60 times, then I guess you just proved how negligible the difference is.
Before 2012 you got a smoother engine with the same performance an extra 2 cyc and a proven dependable engine, now you get a respy 4 that gets better gas millage and thats about it.
Also the 4 cyl is a smaller engine and the 4matic system isn't huge so having the excuse they couldn't fit the components under a physically smaller engine doesn't work. I still stick with that it can't push the power. I say that because even Ford, who's become turbo pushing ******, doesn't offer the ecoboost 4 with AWD, but they do keep the less TQ and HP powered 6 and they say it IS because the 4 just can't hack it.
The only reason I feel merc went to the 4 again is because of US fleet standards, its why they took smart back over. Its a band aid so they can still make gas guzzlers people want.
This is all IMO you take it so personally that I hate your smart and don't like the 250. People where not to fond of the 7 speed auto with the M272 that I had (well mine was stick) It wasn't a big deal, its peoples opinion.
As you can see I def have backing about the smoothness of the engine and the dependability.
Sorry I just don't like 250s don't let it ruin your purchase, it seems like your letting it get to you

If you dont care, why do you bother coming here?
You diss others for no reason. What's your deal, seriously? Are you that in need of attention? I can definitely be cool with you if you decide to act normal and not like some weird crazy person.
Also, you can't really say you don't care what everyone here thinks when you so obviously do as evidenced by the C350 hoax you pulled.
