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. 


good luck and happy bidding. if you have any questions just ask.

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton buys LaFerrari

Tue, Mar 24 2015

Lewis Hamilton has driven some of the fastest cars ever devised, like the McLaren MP4-23 with which he won the 2008 Formula One World Championship, the Mercedes W05 with which he won the title last year, and the new W06 he drove to the checkered flag in the season opener earlier this month. But what does he drive in his spare time? According to the latest reports quoting his boss Toto Wolff, the reigning champ celebrated his win at the Australian Grand Prix by ordering a new LaFerrari. The seven-figure, 950-horsepower hybrid hypercar may be made by a rival manufacturer to the team for which he drives, but then his employers at Mercedes don't (for the time being at least) build anything that competes in the segment – unlike his former employers at McLaren that offer the similarly potent P1. Something tells us he won't be invited to drive it at Fiorano, though - which is something his rivals Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel have all had the chance to do. Hamilton has a long-established penchant for driving twelve-cylinder exotic supercars in his spare time. At his previous place of work, he was promised an exceedingly rare McLaren F1 LM – valued at some $4 million – but only if he won three world titles for the Woking-based team. He also owns a Pagani Zonda that was made specifically for him with a 760-horsepower engine (supplied, naturally, by Mercedes) and a six-speed manual – complete with a clutch pedal, which (apart from starting off the line) is something he doesn't usually get to operate during working hours.

2016 Mercedes-Benz C350e Plug-In Hybrid casts a green light in Geneva

Tue, Mar 3 2015

Mercedes revealed another plug-in hybrid model, the C350e, at the Geneva Motor Show. Based on the company's scalable hybrid platform, the C350e offers 19 miles of electric range, and the total system makes 279 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. It's part of the company's goal to bring 10 new plug-in models to the market by 2017 around the world. The hybrid system teams an electric motor with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a seven-speed gearbox. The C350e also has regenerative braking and can be driven in four modes ranging from Eco to Sport Plus. The lithium-ion battery pack can be charged in 1 hour, 45 seconds, and it has a total capacity of 6.2 kilowatt-hours. The C350e has an Airmatic suspension, an interior climate control system that can be controlled via the internet and offers Mercedes' suite of driver-assist technologies. Mercedes will sell the model as a sedan and a wagon in some markets. The new Mercedes-Benz C 350 e: Efficiency, dynamism and comfort – the best of three worlds The new Mercedes-Benz C 350 e: Efficiency, dynamism and comfort – the best of three worlds Following its premiere in the S-Class, Mercedes-Benz is now offering its most advanced hybrid technology yet in the C-Class and, for the first time, also in an Estate model. The dynamism and efficiency of the C 350 e make it a convincing proposition in both its Saloon and its Estate guise. With a range of 31 kilometres in purely electric mode, local emission-free driving is now a reality. Its four-cylinder petrol engine, in conjunction with a powerful electric motor, gives it a total system output of 205 kW (279 hp) and torque of 600 Nm. The new C 350 e thus delivers the performance of a sports car and yet offers certified consumption figures of just 2.1 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres both as a Saloon and as an Estate. This corresponds to CO2 emissions of 48 grams (49 grams for the Estate) per kilometre. Both models are also equipped as standard with AIRMATIC air suspension plus a Pre-Entry Climate Control system that can be controlled via the internet, adding up to a truly exceptional level of driving and climate comfort. Prof Dr Thomas Weber, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development: "The PLUG-IN HYBRID is an investment in the future of Mercedes-Benz and we believe it will become established as the successful technology for maximum efficiency coupled with powerful dynamic performance.

Is Audi getting complacent and suffering from brain drain?

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

The argument is made in a Reuters article: Audi is falling behind other luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, due to a lack of research-and-development spending and "brain drain," or the migration of top executives and R&D chiefs to other parts of the Volkswagen Group. Reuters notes that Audi's current R&D chief is the third in 16 months.
Audi, which contributed to 40 percent of VW Group's $11.6 billion in profit the first nine months of the year, is delivering cars at a record pace: 1.31 million were delivered from January to October 2013 versus BMW's 1.35 million. Yet Audi, Reuters reports, doesn't have a halo car akin to BMW's new electrified i3 and i8 or an answer to Mercedes' plug-in-hybrid S-Class, and the R&D spending at Audi is less than BMW and Mercedes by a fair margin. It's noted in the article, however, that Audi benefits from other R&D spending within VW Group.
Reuters mentions that BMW "trumpets its new 'i' series" and the new Mercedes CLA and GLA ranges are winning "rave reviews" as part of its argument that Audi's recent lack of technological innovation could hurt future sales. Those cars do pack tons of new technology, some of which are firsts for mainstream production cars. But last time we checked, the i3 could be causing BMW's stock to slide, the CLA isn't receiving the rave reviews that Reuters would have you believe and the GLA hasn't been reviewed yet.
