Hi all!
Trying to choose between these two engines.
Acceleration 0-100 is not of particular interest, C200 has enough of it (7.3 vs 6)
The question is reliability, there are two points:
1) As far as I know (I did not find exact information), the C200 is an M264 engine, and the C300 is a new M254. 264 seems to be abandoned now, and he is only 3 years old, 254 is a new engine. This moment is annoying, are there any problems with 264?
2) C200 is 1.5 liters at maximum boost. C180 is the same engine, just with different electronic settings. the difference in acceleration is more than a second. 204 horses for 1.5L as for me pretty much. Can someone say something about this? Will the C200 be less reliable due to such a boost?
P.S. I decided not to overpay for 4matic, but rather choose high-quality winter tires with good grip (my location is Poland).
Thanks to all!
