prima facie case for a 230
Convince you to buy a c230?
Well, it’s up to you guy. I’ve owned a 911SC, RX-7, Jetta, Pathfinder, Acura Legend Coupe and then Sedan and some others thrown in for fun like a samurai (which was a riot off road).
By far the best car I’ve ever owned is this little coupe.
It’s not one thing in particular. It’s not performance certainly, because a ton of other cars can leave you behind. (If playing king of the hill is really your thing you should look elsewhere.) It’s the whole neat little package, designed by a genius in my opinion, that we all adore.
Looks great, feels great, drives great, stops great… it’s just great. (And Scott, believe an older guy who’s seen the years you’re just about to live, -that little car works on twenty-something babes like nothing I’ve owned before).
Why buy this car? Evidence abounds. Look around you here. People are spending their precious time typing away to strangers in the dark not about sex, money, power or politics, but a CAR. A car! Coupe drivers come to love this little car so much that we develop an immediate and nearly indelible affinity with all others that have this car too. It’s an absurd brotherhood, all of us trading stories, tips, anything that validates and reinforces our singular obsession with this little benz coupe.
Yes it’s a little alarming, and perhaps a little deviant, but all too common. Check out the MBWORLD forums and you’ll see that the C class (W203)

And chances are that you would too. If you buy a coupe, I’m sure I’ll be reading about your stereo upgrade or new 19 inch rims here in a few months.
Audi’s a fine car, but what do you need a four door for? And it’s a little austere. It’s a “Dad” car.
And the Bemer, well frankly, in my home town most Bemers are piloted by A-holes. Maybe not where you live, but around Toronto it’s pretty much the rule. BMW = “The ego has landed”. (No wise-cracks from our Calgary membership please!)
Whatever you buy, just don’t kill yourself in it, or somebody else for that matter. Good luck and take it easy.
