I've owned 220cdi AMG Sports Plus since new in 2012 , it's now 120k miles up .My alloy wheels and trim are different ( not leather). It has the auto/paddle shift gearbox which is delight and it still drives like new . Returns 44-48 mpg between tankfills and often returns 60mpg+ on a motorway run @ 70mph . Apart from servicing /consumbles /oil filter change etc every 10-12k miles the only additional expense i've had is a clock spring failure at 90k miles which was replaced fairly cheaply by my local Merc Indy. p.s the becker sat nav is a pos and i use google maps on my phone ;)
Nice motor . i have the C 250 SW 2013 model and love it . Refined , comfortable enough to do a cross Europe 12 hour cruise stress free and fast enough to get about town . My only gripes are the thing you mentioned about having no memory seats ( not that i let anyone else drive though ) and the fact it is so comfortable that on long drives ( 7 hours autoroute ) I get slightly bored as the only thing to do is play with the music controls as i gracefully cruise along . I love mine , baptised "Marco"
I own a similar car. Mine is a 2009 C200 Sport CDI with slightly more miles (216K at the time of writing) and a 6-speed manual gearbox. I don't mind the manual as my daily driver (2003 Volvo XC90) has an auto. I reckon the W204 is one of the best modern Mercs and is definitely the best C-Class. My only real gripe is the lack of cruise control.
I have a manual 2012 c220, 2.1 tuned to 500nm torque... its incredible. the manual kick down beats an auto every time. compare it to a 320d i guess but the c220 just looks class.
@@yargc9641 You have them in 163hp too, mine is a S204 C220 CDI Estate BlueEfficiency with the OM651 2.1l engine with 163hp... Both have 400NM just 7hp difference.. ;)

Thanks for sharing, yes memory seats are a pain!

Great review 👏

Just curious why you manually cancelled the indicator?
i'm looking to buy one of these C220, is it reliable doe ?
It's classic indeed, I'll one of this machine
Which to buy gasoline or diesel..which engine? 1.8 with 184 hp or 2.1 with 163 hp
2.1 is not 163 hp , its 170 hp

Diesel without a doubt 💯
For who says this car is old. Imagine I am driving a 2006 clk coupe hahaha
How much??
Don't give up your day job.
Gotta agree with this buddy. This dude is out of his element.
Not actually leather but mb tex, seats prone to splitting
