Anyone had one of these? what they like?

looking at about 1998 estate version, what they like on fuel?

my current estate workhorse is doing about 25mpg so need an alternative!

My old man has a 52 plate c200 kompressor. not too sure about economy, but it pulls ok i suppose (for a heavy car with an engine running many ancillaries) Its nothing mind blowing mind you.

But the supercharger whine.......... sounds great

Hi,

I've driven a 2002 C200 K once. Pulls very nicely, great torque and no lag at all. Feels like a much bigger n/a engine.

On a long trip with 90% motorway driving at 80 - 105 mph (Autobahn) it returned 35 mpg. Not sure what it will be like round town. I guess it should'nt be to hard to get 30 mpg out if it.

I not long ago got rid of my 1996 C230 Kompressor.

I don't know what mpg i was getting but if driven sensibly it wasn't bad at all but on the other hand, driven hard it just chewed fuel. Not much help i know but it was better on fuel than i was expecting to be honest when i wasn't caning it.

Mine was quite quick but got quite boring quite quickly apart from in the wet where it was driven more sideways than anything
