Why did YOU get a c43? what do YOU love about your car?
im always curious as to see what drove people to get the specific cars that they did among many choices out there.
for me...it was that car n driver article back in the day...although the car came in last place i still loved it. c class with a v8?? cmon! so awesome
i love the refinement in the car and how solid it feels. it doesnt look or feel cheap. i think audi interiors look cheap in comparison. albeit the car isnt fast to today standards it still feels great. so torquey. the look is classic. even after 20 years that design is still great.
and nothing like having an AMG

I always loved benz. I had a C180 in australia, love it, moved to america and found a C43 for SUPER cheap (1/3 the price I sold the C180 for) so snapped it up, now I can have a C with a V8 
love it
love it

Own a w202 C240 estate since many many years and thought the C43 would compliment well the stable. Plus the name AMG is a great name and owning one, albeit an "old" one makes you part of that special community. The V8 power is great too and more than sufficient in trafic today.

I bought my C43 in 11 years ago so back then it was the big boy on the block, it was like buying a C63 today. Plus I wanted a car that was rare.
