Better at what? Performance, fuel economy, handling, ride comfort, etc.? If you can focus your question, lots of folks here may be able to offer meaningful opinions.

the C180 AMG (1,6 lt) it's look like C350 AMG but expect engine only but the same full body kit and wheels.

I'm still confused. is this just some AMG badging / parts on a C180? We dont have this engine size here in Canada... but our C250-C350 can get amg wheels, pedals etc as an upgrade.

And what's a C350 AMG? no such thing what makes the car a real AMG is the engine.

I think he meant that it has the AMG styling package (as you listed: wheels, pedals, etc)

I agree with Sportstick. Both vehicle are great, but they meet different priorities.

Haha I'm from Canada too I'm also confused. I think it's because Canada only offers AMG sports package while in other country there is AMG, Sports, and ELEGANCE. She meant C180 with AMG package and C250 ELEGANCE package.

C250 without a doubt. You can always change the styling parts on the C250 after, I doubt you'd want to change the engine in the C180...

We have diff lines here:

Classic : without any options and with basic steel wheels
Avantgarde: with other fabric on the seats, Alu parts in the interior and 16" wheels, sports grille...
Elegance: without sports grille, without Alu parts.


Then you can order the AMG styling package on every line.
AMG wheels, AMG Side skirts, perforated discs etc.

So thats what he mean with the AMG.

In some countries the Sport package we get in North American, is listed as an AMG package. And no its not the engine. I have seen people drop AMG engines in none AMG cars. And this has been discussed million times over and over. When you get an AMG car you get the total package ( engine, trans, seats, styling, etc....)

Get the 250... In a few years the resell value of the 180 will go down like the titanic.
