Heres Why The 2004 Mercedes Benz C230 Kompressor Was The Best Value C-Class (Doug Demuro Recreation)

i have the 2003 c230 coupe kompressor freaking love the car fun to drive

My 2003 engine seized at 150K lots of small issues. Not a real Benz

This is not a real Mercedes. There is no real anymore..
I had a c124 and then bought the successor, a CLK230 compressor.
Only then will you understand that you have been robbed!
The experts know exactly what I mean..
Now i have back a C124 🎉

Love the W203 ❤
I always decoded C as comfort, E as elegance and S as statesman because usually German politicians drove the S class. Other cars of course too like 7series or A8 but if it was a Mercedes it would be the S class.

Btw, on my W203 C180 Kompressor T-Model with a 5-speed automatic transmission AND LPG, which usually consumes a bit more, I got a stunning 46.12 MPG on the Autobahn!!! What a car ❤

the nme c class r e class refers t the segment

I have one and absolutely love it. It’s been incredibly reliable for the 265k miles I’ve driven it.

Thank you is a beautiful car they selling me one but I think I'm going to buy it

Imagine Doug comments here lol 😅. Other than that a have a diesel w203 , great car!

DOUG COME GET YOURE CHILD !! Lmao !!!🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

Nice review. I have a Mars Red 2005 with 77k original miles. I paid $15,000 in 2013 at a Benz dealer after the odometer hit 30k during my test drive. This afternoon I replaced the original battery. There is not a speck of corrosion or rust in the battery well. It looks like they upgraded the dash, gauge and console layout from the '04 to the '05. The stereo became a "command center" with big color screen and an on-board Nav system that will still get me home when GPS satellites start falling from the sky. It also has a ton of system controls that are well organized, and the phone interface was future tech back then. Mine has multiple package options and everything still works, but my sunroof needs adjusting every now and then. Leather was/is an option, but the basic MB-Tex vinyl is legendary for it's quality and it wears better than leather. The pinhole venting is nice, along with multi way adjustments and lumbar. They kept prices down with sensible things like manual seat slides and manual steering wheel adjustment. Sadly, mine does not have the fold down rear seats, which was a stupid cheap $100 upgrade. 

I tend to disagree with the "not real fast" comment. It's obviously not a race car, but it is a specially designed package with good PTW ratio and perfectly matched handling. It has the continuous drive supercharger, as opposed to a spool-up turbo. Once you get a feel for "S" mode and manually shifting through the gears, it will go like a bat outta hell. It's small and low and this adds to the sense of speed, especially when combined with good balance, traction control, steering and braking. And I still get a solid 30mpg on the freeway in comfort mode. It was engineered for autobahn speeds as an entry level 4-door sports sedan, and was built for maximum safety and fun that anyone can drive. I've had no major problems with mine and whenever I read about things like plastic parts that break, I remind myself that exposed wear parts on an 18 to 20 year old car require a gentle touch and may not survive the relentless savagery of children or clumsy spouses...

Cool video!

Damn! 😅

Doug DeMuro jr, very good

Leave to Germans to create a button for snow mode and call it (in the American market) S/C. and guess what the SNOW is C 😕 🫤 😕. when you investigate this button, you get disappointed because the S is standard NOT sport and C is snow mode (car starts in 2nd gear).

Is it reliable? And Is it a good first car?

sounds like demuro-!!

You need to move your upper body up and down out of control a lot more!

I just bought a 2006 C230 Sport and it is a great car! Definitely contains modernized luxury and feels very solid.

You missed the cruise control and the hands-free Nokia in the centre console. I have the W203 2005 C200 Sport, which (in South Africa) has the AMG steering wheel (same as the C55). It has 322000 kms and still feels new. I really love my Merc.

NO SHAME!....NO INTEGRITY!

Good video, but I'm gonna have to correct you on the C/S button. Yes, in "C" mode you start in 2nd gear, but the car upshifts earlier and the shifts are smoother. In "S" mode, you get a much more dynamic feel. Now, I'm not gonna go on and say it's something like race mode in modern cars, but "S" mode is definitely for spirited driving. "C" mode is for maximum comfort and winter. Although I have used "C" mode very rarely in my C-class. I like the sportier feel of the 5G-tronic. Solid transmission.

What was the Doug score 🤥

Привет

Mercedes has the worst engines, I advise against buying them.

bought one today 😅

How many women will talk to me if I buy this car

It pays off to be yourself and not try to copy exactly someone else

Had to pause so I could leave a like on this master piece. This is gonna be my first car and I am excited

Who the fk at mecedes is put on the job of making a cheap benz... then decides they need to make CUPHOLDERS with 64 MOVING FKN PARTS? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

wcheels are 40% of car looks and theese are not the nicest from c class. my favourte are 16inch from coupe.

It’s voila.. not “wala”

How much is a rear window blind going to protect the interior?

Automatic window blinds on all windows should be standard.

More wheel spokes dissipates more braking heat.

I do think yours must be missing something or has been repaired or something, when you said it wasn’t very quiet when you drive mine has almost zero road noise like scale of 1-10 10 being the loudest I would rate mine at a 1 or 2 it’s nearly silent. Just a thought maybe they repaired something and forgot to put on the skid plate or the foam under the door panels I’d look and see if there’s something missing. Other than that LOVE THE CAR

Bought one a couple months ago AND ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! Great video thank you my dude!!

Didn't realize Doug has a franchise. 😄
