Mercedez C230 Sport Review UPDATE

Ok, Guys I took my AMG ML55 back to mercedez to get detuned due to all the dang horsepower it has....::bo: Sorry Gibs but, I think I will give your TBSS a run for its money :) Well to get to the thread in hand I have never driven any other vehicle than a Ford I refused for the life of me to never drive anythingelse.. I bleed Ford blue to the heart.....

Well guys my story goes like this. I really took my truck in to get its basic service done and oil change because not sure what the previous owner did because I have no records.. I arrive at San Diego Mercedez benz and right away you know exactly were to go there is signs and service guys waiting to greet you like if you were some sort of professional football player or famous actor this is by far way different than any Ford Dealership I have been too. Next I am told to drive into the building where there is about 50 large glass windows with people in there offices just watching you drive thru awesome feeling. I finally get to the service advisory window and he quickly comes and askes me sir how can we help you, I tell him about my vehicle and it needs it service and oil change and filter. He says no problem and says please go into the customer lounge and we will be right with you, I said ok I then proceed to the customer lounge were I am greeted by two ladies in bikinis with Starbuck hats on them :) ok not really but, they did have a Starbuck coffee machine with breakfast and all the drinks are complementary wow, real nice atmosphere there is about 4 to 5 big flat screen tv's so it really doesnt matter were you sit every chair in there is awesome. Lucky for me I had my laptop with me and automatically saw a hugh sign that said high speed wireless available so I did'nt miss a minute of this awesome forum I love. Oh I forgot to mention while in the showroom you are greeted with all these awesome looking cars pricing from 150,000 and up:( :) So about 10min pass and then a service advisory comes out and hands me some keys to a 2007 C230 Sport and says we will call you when you vehicle is done. Im beening Ford customer I know I need to stop the advisory and say wait how much for the rental? I felt like she laughed at me and said something under her breath like silly 1st time benz shopper or owner or something to that effect. She smiled and said have a wonderful day we will contact you if anythingelse arises.. I was shocked.. No Charge... No Ford dealer has ever treated me like this.... Well on my way home I decided to see what this C class can do. And I mean I squeezed out every possible hp this car can go. I shifted every gear like I stole it..:):D I am still in shock this car does not have the down to earth torque that our cars have but, let me tell you this 2.5L V-6 201 HP is deadly, I can just imagine the bigger and faster cars.. I hit 130+ and hit the turns at way over 80+ man this little car really hughs the turns, I have to say the suspension is 50 times better than my Cobra.. Remember the The Sport models have firmer suspensions, lower ride height and more powerful brakes than the Luxury models. The Sport sedans also have a thick, three-spoke steering wheel, more thickly bolstered front seats and aluminum trim, and are trimmed with aggressive lower body cladding. All I have to say is I am looking at a way to get out of my Ford Edge and purchase me another Mercedez:)

I have never heard of a Mercedes owner being treated ill at a dealership. They are top notch. Might be a lesson other dealerships could learn from?

in florida Lincoln treats you like that


also teh c230 isnt a bad car like you said not very powerful but enough to get around the kompressors are a little better but if you want it to actually move you have to get a sporty verison. not a poor mans benzo

OMG's guys I have an update: I took it in to get an oil change and I get a phone call today. Mr. Valdez I am thinking oh sh** well she tell me that after visual inspect of my car they found a couple of bushing that were messed up and the car has a couple of TSB's and that they were repairing them for me. Right away I asked wait how much she tells me its part of the TSB and is a safety issue we are going to take care of it. There is one thing she is trying to get underwarranty and that is one of my motor mounts is degraded but, not necessary but the advisory said he would like to change it. She said if its not covered do I want to replace it anyways. I told her sure and she replies never mind we are going to go ahead and change it too. :eek: that it will be covered on my warranty. :bd: Man guys this is the best experiences I have every had at a dealership.. I am difinitely trading in my Ford Escape Edge for another Mercedes..Mexican:D

Remember I only took it in for an Oil Change would Ford go the extra inches to verify my TSBs and to Visual Inspect my car for me.. I don't think so...

I wentin to get my wifes focus fixed one time under warranty

I told them that the brake booster was bad

I knew this because I just replaced it on my Mustang becasue it had the same feeling and problem.

So I said alright the booster is bad it just needs to be replaced.

They had my car for 4 days saying that nothing is wrong with it that they cant figure whats goin gon

5th day comes by and they call me and say your brake booster is bad we will have it fixed for you and you can pick it up tommorrow.

Needless to say I blew up on the fricken idiot
