Any Canadians with a 250 V6 4Matic Sedan?
I'm considering one as a second car, but it seems like a major pig on gas for the performance you get. Not sure why they make you take the 2.5 V6 with 4matic up here, when the turbo 4 is in the coupe and and RWD sedans.
Anyone on the board that has one? Does the fuel consumption get any better? I was getting over 12l/100km around town in Economy mode. That's worse than my GL class!

I drive like an old man wearing a hat! Although, it is hilly here, and that might have something to do with it... Do you like your 250?

The 2011 and up C250 is so much better now for the canadian market. The original c230 w204 had no options period. Now you can get xenon's to pano-roof. and a 4cyl engine for the 2012 year. So much better. You'll like it. Now all we need is the diesel c-class and GLK. In Canada.

2008 c300
MB Canada don't make you buy the 250 4matic. You can still get the 300. It may have only 30 bhp more than the 250, but its got a lot more torque, and consequently much better performance.
By the time its optioned to base 300 level, the 250 is only $2000 less, and you're still stuck with the admittedly anemic 250 motor.

If they had the diesel turbo 4cyl like they do in europe i would have bought one. I would have bought a c230 instead of the c300 i bought. But the c230 had no xenon's and smaller brake's. I bought a 6 speed m/t Took me forever to find a nice c300. when there was a lot more 6 mt c230.

GLK 250
Hmmm I like it so far. For the gas price in Toronto right now. 1 tank fill up needs 80 dollar, and can give me 500 km, so it not that bad.( Cant really compare to c300/c350 since I dont know how many how many clicks they can run per tank). In terms of performance, like I said, c250 give 201 hp, which is enough for me.
