2002 Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor Sports Coupe

Just in time for the recession: A cloth-upholstered Mercedes.

High among the things many Americans don't understand about European life are traffic circles, bidets, cheese that smells like flatulence, and luxury-brand hatchbacks.

There's not much anyone can (or should?) do to bridge the cultural divide on those first three subjects. Mercedes-Benz would like to introduce you to the luxury hatch with its 2002 C230 Kompressor sports coupe.

Luxury-brand hatchbacks are popular in Europe, where streets are small and gas prices large. But only BMW tried to sell a hatchback, the 318ti, in the United States, in 1995. It attracted few buyers, and those who did buy one were much older than BMW had expected. After 1999, the ti was gone.

That explains the calculated misnomer Mercedes has given to its new "sports coupe," although it's obviously a hatchback. "Hatchback" is such a marketing cuss word that Mercedes officials wince at the mention of it. Forget for a moment that Mercedes sells a proper coupe, the CLK.

The sports coupe is based on the 2001 C-class sedan, sharing its 106.9-inch wheelbase, suspension, steering, and brakes. The "sports" portion of its name is justified, Mercedes says, by the car's rakish styling and its standard sport suspension tuning.

Unlike BMW's failed U.S.-market hatchback, the Mercedes sports coupe does not share any body panels with its C-class donor sedan. Mercedes is counting heavily on this fact to convince shoppers that the sports coupe isn't just a budget-minded C-class but is something with a distinct image. Viewed from anywhere but behind, the sports coupe is distinctive and attractive, with an aggressive wedge shape. Only the rear view will be seen as controversial. It's vaguely French-looking, almost Renaultlike.

The standard tuning of the coupe's strut-front and multilink-rear suspension approximates the C-class four-door's optional Sport package, although specific spring rates and shock valving differ slightly. All U.S.-model sports coupes come with 16-inch wheels bearing 225/50VR-16performance tires. The result is an impressively smooth ride--at least on the nearly faultless roads of southern France where we drove the car.

But the sports coupe is no more sporting than the sedan. As with most Mercedes, the coupe feels heavy, despite its reasonable 3300-pound heft. The car's body remains nearly flat going around corners, but it feels more confident and composed than frisky.

The only engine offered is an improved version of the familiar iron-block 2.3-liter supercharged four-cylinder found in the SLK roadster. For the sports coupe (and the 2001 SLK) Mercedes added a new fuel-injection system and upgraded the intake plumbing to increase low-end power and improve the engine's sound--both former weak points. With 190 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque, the 2.3-liter Kompressor can power the coupe to 62 mph in 7.5 seconds, according to Mercedes. Compared with most of the Euro-boxes on the roads we traveled, the sports coupe is pretty quick, although it's not as fast as the "sports" moniker might imply. And although the engine feels better in this application than in its original form in the SLK, it's still a little weak down low and slightly rough higher in the rev range.

A six-speed manual is standard, and a five-speed manumatic is optional. Either choice represents a compromise. The six-speed, taken from the C240 sedan, allows a driver to keep the supercharged engine in its power band, but its shift feel is poor, rubbery, and uncertain. The five-speed automatic shifts beautifully, but this was supposed to be a sports coupe, right?

Although based closely on the four-door, the sports coupe's interior does have a dash of sport feel. Instead of wood-grain trim, the coupe uses satin aluminum bits. The seats are firm and have thicker bolsters than what you'll find in the sedan. And the rear-passenger quarters are sporting-car small. Despite the cramped rear, the sports coupe has a big enough back seat to qualify by our reckoning as a wonderful vehicle.


I am selling my car because i dont have the time to fix. if you do this is a great deal. Below are more in depth of what i know of the car.


Needs two rear rims. Left rear damage in front of the tire. missing side marker light. drivers side fog light does not work. sunroof is stuck open and wont close. check engine light is on. as well as the srs light.  Rear window is broken out i do have the window covered to avoid elemental issues. drives great and shifts great. most issues are cosmetic. i am not a certified mechanic but i know it drives and handles like a car should. i will accept paypal, cash, and loan checks. and cash in person.

Trump reportedly says he wants to wipe German cars off the U.S. map

Thu, May 31 2018

BERLIN/FRANKFURT — A report that U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to pursue German carmakers until there are no Mercedes-Benz rolling down New York's Fifth Avenue dented shares in the luxury car manufacturers on Thursday. An excerpt from German magazine Wirtschaftswoche's article, which cited several unnamed European and U.S. diplomats but did not include any direct quotes, could not be independently verified, while a U.S. Embassy spokesman in Berlin referred questions to Washington. The news and current affairs magazine said Trump had told French President Emmanuel Macron in April that he aimed to push German carmakers out of the United States altogether. Macron's administration in Paris declined to comment on the report. The Trump administration last week opened a so-called Section 232 trade investigation into vehicle imports, which could result in a 25 percent tariff on cars on the same "national security" grounds Washington used to impose metals duties in March. This could destroy exports by German carmakers, which control 90 percent of the U.S. premium market and are the biggest European Union exporters of cars to the United States. BMW owns Rolls-Royce, while Daimler has Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen controls Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche and Audi. Daimler, BMW and Audi declined comment. Porsche was not immediately available for comment. BMW shares were trading 0.5 percent lower at 0939 GMT, while Daimler and VW's shares were down 1 percent and 1.6 percent respectively, underperforming Germany's blue-chip DAX. Trump has railed against German carmakers before. And in early 2017, in an interview with German newspaper Bild, he said he would impose 35 percent tariffs on imported cars. At the time, the president called Germany a great car producer but said that the business relationship with the United States was an unfair one-way street. Germany's auto industry association VDA says its members exported 657,000 vehicles to North America last year, with total exports of vehicle components, cars, engines, as well as second-hand vehicles totaling 31.2 billion euros in 2016. Imports from the United States to Germany amounted to 7.4 billion euros, meaning a trade deficit of 23.8 billion euros the VDA's latest available figures show. However, German brands also have huge factories in the United States, where they built 804,000 cars last year, VDA said, providing jobs for U.S. workers. Berlin has reacted angrily to the U.S.

F1 title fight gets closer | 2016 US Grand Prix recap

Mon, Oct 24 2016

We ran into an old friend at the US Grand Prix: an on-form Lewis Hamilton. Reliability and proper clutch actuation helped the Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver resurrect the kind of performance we haven't seen since July at the German Grand Prix. After demolishing the previous qualifying record around the Circuit of the Americas, he put the field in his mirrors as soon as the lights went out, was never bothered by anyone behind, and crossed the finish line 4.5 seconds ahead of teammate Nico Rosberg. The drive was exactly what Hamilton needed to keep his molecule-thin Championship hopes alive. Rosberg, however, did exactly what he needed to do as well by finishing second. The German had a sketchier path to the checkered flag than Hamilton, getting pushed back to the third at the start by Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo. Worse, Ricciardo appeared to have the pace to keep Hamilton honest ahead and hold Rosberg behind. Red Bull and Mercedes matched one another's pit stops, and it was clear the German would need more help to pass the Aussie. Rosberg didn't have to make his own luck, Ricciardo's teammate Max Verstappen made the luck for him. Ricciardo pitted on Lap 26, ceding second position on track to Rosberg. On Lap 30, Verstappen's gearbox failed while headed down the back straight. The Dutch teenager said the team told him to try to get the car back to the pits, so he dawdled through a few corners before following more team orders to pull over and park. Verstappen's parking spot and bad gearbox meant marshals couldn't push the car off the track, they needed to use a crane. That brought out a Virtual Safety Car, slowing the whole race down and allowing Rosberg to run a longer stint while losing less time on old tires. When the German came in for new tires on Lap 31 he emerged ahead of Ricciardo, and they ran that way to the end of the race, much to Ricciardo's disappointment. Sebastian Vettel claimed fourth for Ferrari, a placing perhaps due only to Verstappen and Kimi Raikkonen retiring from the race. An otherwise anonymous weekend for the scuderia called attention to itself on race day when Raikkonen had to call it a day after a botched pit stop, and Vettel couldn't make any impression on the teams ahead. Fernando Alonso rode home to a brilliant fifth for McLaren. During the first stint while rummaging around outside the top ten, the Spaniard complained about his lack of pace. By Lap 15 Alonso was tenth, on Lap 34 he was eighth.

F1 Race recap: 2016 Russian Grand Prix same as it ever was

Mon, May 2 2016

The three-year-old Sochi Autodrom that hosts the Russian Grand Prix combines beautiful scenery with a hallmark turn 3, a tricky turn 13, and two long DRS zones. So far, however, those haven't added up to exciting races after the first lap. Despite an in-race issue with his car's MGU-K, Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver Nico Rosberg aced the weekend with his first career grand slam: pole position, fastest lap of the race, leading every lap, and victory. Behind him, not much happened on the leaderboard after an incident-filled opening lap. The drama started at turns 2 and 3. Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel lined up in seventh on the grid because of a five-place gearbox penalty, Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat sat next to him in eighth. Kvyat hit the back of Vettel's Ferrari in the braking zone for Turn 2, shoving Vettel into Daniel Ricciardo – Kvyat's teammate. Kyvat then clobbered the back of Vettel's car at the entry to Turn 3, spinning the German into the wall and out of the race. Kvyat probably regrets saying before the race that he would show Vettel "no mercy" on the first lap. At the back of the grid at Turn 2, Haas F1's Esteban Gutierrez hit Force India's Nico Hulkenberg and Manor's Rio Haryanto. Gutierrez continued, both the Force India and the Manor retired. A brief Virtual Safety Car period ensued, then the actual Safety Car emerged for three laps while marshals cleaned up the track. Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver Nico Rosberg nailed the restart and took off for the rest of the race. Teammate Lewis Hamilton battled his own gremlins all weekend but still finished second, 25 seconds behind Rosberg. During the final qualifying session on Saturday Hamilton's car suffered the same MGU-H failure as in China two weeks ago. The problem relegated him to tenth on the grid. In the race, Hamilton fought his way to second place by Lap 19 out of 53 laps and began closing the 13-second gap to Rosberg. On Lap 37, the gap now under eight seconds, Mercedes told Hamilton his car had a water pressure issue. The malfunction forced the Briton to manage his race and settle for second. Afterward, Hamilton said he was certain he could have won if not for the malfunction. The rest of the top ten barely changed throughout the contest. The first five positions on Lap 21 crossed the finish line in that order 32 laps later. Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen took the final podium position ahead of the Williams duo of Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa.
