I love the look of W204 C, - how's the reliability? I'm thinking about getting a 2013 sport.

I prefer the W204 with some appearance tweaks. Mine is a Sport model, so it has AMG-styled wheels, front spoiler, side skirts, and rear spoiler. I replaced the front grill with a single-bar grill.

W204 2010 C300 4matic Sport M272
I also love the look of my W204 Sport. Growing up it seemed all my Greek friends family members had Mercedes and I never really cared for them.. Then a neighbor bought a W204 a few years ago and i automatically liked how it looked. So i got one. I dont care for the w205, they look to plain in my opinion.

Has to be the Sport model though, I don't care for the Luxury how it looks jacked up. I think the Sports suspension makes the car sit great, gap in the wheel well. Also the Sport front bumper and side skirts looks much better than the Luxury.








By chance i got the M272 engine. I wanted the 4matic since I'm in NE and wanted something that can go through snow if needed. The C250 i was looking at was RWD. I'm very glad i ended up with the M272 engine since its pretty basic and easy to work on. After being on this forum the 4cyl and diesel engines look more like a nightmare to work on. i was looking at the E class but that seemed more costly to work on if there were any issues. Since i work on my own cars. And i personally like dark grey the best.
