Xzero - you've earned my vote also!

I admire your grit in accomplishing all the maintenance.

My new wife really appreciates the little coupe that she "married into" after our wedding.

Me? I drive another German these days.............substituting fuel efficiency vice outstanding good looks!

YMMV may just apply here,

all the best,

I voted for your car well. I find it amazing how a 10 year old car can be so well kept. Hats off to you.

Xzero

Thanks azblk, appreciate the support and comments about the car! I feel the same way, it looks and drives great for being 10 years old.

Wow, over 2 years since an update.

The W204 is still going strong and since the last update, it hasn't needed much.

After 4 years of ownership and 46,000KM driven, it looks like I'm finally caught up with the repairs and at the stage where it is only requiring routine maintenance.
