Will you be moving to a W205 or keeping your W204 awhile longer?

I'm curious to know if your planning to keep your W204 when the W205 comes out. IMO, a W204 looks so much better than a W203 that when the W205 comes around, the W204 will still look good. Even more so if you added some nice mods.

We're going to keep ours until the extended warranty is up, which is going to be end of 2014. With the issues we've had, I don't think I'd want to keep it out of warranty. But I don't think we'll be moving up to a W205 as we typically don't buy them new.

Sorry to hear about your issues. I also wouldn't buy new but I stayed away from an '08 on purpose (1st versions) and got an '09 instead.

No big issues with the 08 here, but I don't think my wife will want another C-class anymore. She wants more room, so the next one will most likely be a used W212.

Unless I can convince her to trade it for a W211 E63. She just doesn't care for the looks of the W211...

Personally, I like the W204 wheelbase and size.
Not really a fan of car manufacturers expanding the dimensions of the compact sports sedan category (Audi B8 A4, BMW F30 3-series).
However, I do like the new styling of the upcoming 2013-14 model lineup.
