i get to 60 in about 7 seconds. i think its pretty quick for a lil 1.8L that gets 32 epa in the highway. its not too fast but it sure isn't slow. especially the new '12 turbo 1.8L
Hey man I have a 2007 c230 and I just want to make sure that you are pushing down hard enough to click on the "kick down" button thats below the normal stop of the gas pedal. Also I noticed that your car is set to [D] standard drive mode - Mercedes suggests setting the gear range to [3] which you can do by just holding the shifter towards the [D-] for a couple seconds - makes a much faster car especially after a few minutes when the chip adjusts
i think mercedes wants to make a bigger distinction between their classes there wasnt much point in spending the extra money in an e or s class if the cheaper c class has comparable power. thats why my 99 c280 is incredibly faster than my 07 c230.
Im timing a solid 8.4 sec. It's not terrible, but like dm919 said, it's no speed demon. These cars are for sporty handling and sporty looks, not so much sporty acceleration. That's what C350 and C55 AMG were built for.
And I agree, the 2005-2007 C-class was soooo much nicer than the newer model. (especially on the interior design)
Haha yeahh, i know its sad for such a sweet car. But i guess back then, they werent really pushing the performance on the C-Class. To be honest, i like the 2007 styling better than the 2008 and up styling.
@falconzfan007 It is slow, yes.. but it is a gorgeous, gorgeous car - one of the best Benz designs out there. I have an 05 C230K Sport sedan with the 07 Sport rims. The 1.8L supercharged 230s were a bit faster than the V6s like yours but much less refined.
is that one supercharged???????

I think the old turbo was better, no? Don't know why Mercedes switched to a small V6

@falconzfan007 I agree-they are really nice looking cars. All it needs is another 50-60 hp =)

@dm919 The 6 speeds are a bit better. Mine will do 7.9-8 sec, not fast but very fun to drive. Nice vid btw
