It had rear electric sun blinds (still works flawlessly to this day). A lit and cooled glove compartment which by the way also housed a 12V socket and an auxiliary port for you to connect your iPod or other external devices. The car came with an in-built premium 6 CD in-dash changer with a 6-speaker set up complete with the then new MB Command APS controller. A Toyota Camry or a Honda Accord from that era was probably more spacious in that sense. The passenger hump in the floor well is average in size and can be intrusive for the middle rear passenger. The front seats are very firm yet comfy but, in the back, a compromise still needs to be made despite the increase in wheelbase compared to the older W203. There is an easy entry and exit feature where the steering wheel moves away when you switch off the car and moves back into your pre-set location when you’re seated with the car switched on. Even the front headrests are electrically adjustable. Both front seats were electrically adjustable with 3 pre-set memory options which included the steering setting and door mirror setting for the driver.

It had electric adjustments for almost all things like the steering wheel (still not available in the latest G20 BMW 3 series in Malaysia at least). The leather was so well stitched that not a stitch or seem on it was out of place. it brought a sense of prestige and perceived build quality second to none. I felt really proud owning this car in my 30s. The original price the previous owner paid would be approx. Looking at the excellent condition of its all grey leather interior and silver colour exterior (most say it's the easiest colour to maintain), I just pounced to negotiate a great price and bought it at a lowly price of RM 164,000. The locally assembled 2008 registered C200K (in Elegance trim with Avantgarde front grille) I purchased in 2012 had just clocked 42,000 kilometres and was a one owner lady car. What Is Great About the Mercedes-Benz W204 Series Cheap road tax, economical when driven sedately and powerful when you step on it.
It was rated at 181hp at 5,500rpm with 250Nm of torque being available between 2,800-5,000rpm. It is no slouch of a car with a sub 8.8s 0-100 km/h time and a theoretical 230 km/h top speed rating. The engine was a 1.8 litre 4-cylinder inline configuration engine driving the rear wheels. In 2012, performance and reliability came in no better form for me than in the form of the 2007- 2011 W204 Mercedes-Benz C200K (K indicating the presence of a Kompressor, supercharger, spelt with a K in German). Some of the shortlisted cars included the E90 BMW 320i and the VW Passat CC 2.0 but at that age, those cars were already known for their need of extra care/love and poor/suspect after sales service. I then decided to go for a premium brand used car below 5 years old as I felt they offered a better blend of performance, tech and even economy. I tested some affordable new cars at that time but was not impressed. So, after owning a Mercedes-Benz B170 auto, I decided that I wanted to own something a little more refined in terms of build quality and better in terms of convenience technology, performance, and reliability.
