Find out why I think the W204 Mercedes-Benz C-Class was designed to last a very long time - Video

There is a new video on the Motoring Malaysia YouTube channel folks. This time I've decided to talk about my own car, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C180 Blue Efficiency W204 series C-Class.

Mercedes Benz launches new base petrol C160,new C300 as well as new C200 4Matic models

In a nutshell, Mercedes Benz have launched new W205 C-class models over in Europe. What's interesting are the petrol versions for us here in Malaysia and those without the all-wheel drive setup. This is what MB Malaysia could bring in the near future for us here.

C160 - 1.6liter turbocharged petrol engine with 129hp, 210Nm. 0-100kmh in 9.6seconds coupled to either a 6 speed manual or a 7 speed automatic. This sits below the C180 with the same engine but a higher state of tune. Bring this or the C180 in MB Malaysia. Even if the prices clash with the CLA200. Why deprive Malaysians of base models that help us save some cash yet still have some luxury.

Long term report - Mercedes Benz C180 CGI BlueEfficiency

If you've been following this blog you'd know that I've been running a 2012 Mercedes Benz C180 CGI BlueEfficiency for a while now.

I collected the car in November 2012 and it has now been over a year of owning this slightly premium sedan. It may be the entry level c-class but I've not been left wanting in any department at all. Of course, if you had to pay over RM214,000 for any car it better not be lacking in certain aspects.
