  • The C-Class Sport Coupe (CL203) was a break from tradition for Mercedes-Benz - it was a shorter more sporty hatchback based on the C-Class platform, but remained rear-wheel drive with some interesting Kompressor engines available. It was competitor to the BMW 3-Series compact. How does it fare today?

    My dad bought one of these new in 2002, and now I drive it everywhere! It’s a fun little pocket rocket, especially with the manual transmission. I didn’t get the moon roof, but I guess that saved a bit of weight. I wouldn’t trade this for anything!

    they are great daily driver cars. bullet proof auto gearboxes and engines..and it has proper torque converter auto gearbox.I have a 2006 one and really like it.not expensive to maintain neither.

    This had a lot of electrical problems

    I bought a 2002 Mercedes Benz 220 CDI today with only 290.000 km on it yet. Already loving how it drives, feels like a proper highway cruiser 😊

    Great review... I've always thought this car was a class smaller than the C-Class, and the styling is slightly weird, though I prefer this gen to the CLC as the design looks more cohesive... That being said, I'm really not a fan of the W203 C-Class and much prefer the successor, the W204 which IMO, is the best C-Class...

    Australian C180K manual transmission owner here. I bought this because there's hardly any fun, manual, rwd daily drivers under 5k here in Australia anymore. Was never a car to "awe" at and not the most manly car to own but I've come to appreciate it. Hardly any aftermarket parts to zazz the power up a bit, so it's just a buy and drive car

    I have had mine for many years it's been brilliant in lot's of way's 2003 it's now starting to be troublesome but not in a hurry to park it up. 126 536 miles. Nothing really.

    Mine is manual, of course a 200cdi, can't be a Manual Sport without the massive 122hp 200cdi

    I own and drive the C180 Kompressor version, it got the M 271 engine in it with... well 1.8 Liters of displacement. It's my first car and I'm quite proud of it!

    Another good review 👍. There’s a couple of these where I live which still look good despite being nearly 20 years old.

    I love the videos. I have a 2002 C230 coupe as my daily driver. I’m currently driving across the US in a 2006 CLK 350. Both are awesome and so different.

    I have owned a 2002 C230 since new,. 252K miles and still going strong though many MANY things replaced over the years. Recently had been sitting for a while in need of repairs,

    I always like this model!!! I remember when I saw it first time in 2001, I use to live back then in Switzerland 😅 And you're videos are uneatable!!! I love it to watch and leeson

  • @TheJoaninhaMendes

    My favourite "modern" car. I remember seeing this car for the first time when it came out. I was about 18 or 19 and it was my dream car at the time.

  • @meeshmeeshelle6326

    I love my 2002 and can’t consider parting with it. I’ve actually taken it off road camping into National Forrests. The rear wheel drive handles sand dunes amazingly! I’ve considered lifting it a little & putting on all-terrain tires to make it a rally car. It’s my friend for life! 😊

    I own a 2003 sport coupe and I love it
