Larger 16-inch wheels, as well as firmer suspension calibrations, are available as part of the optional Sport Package. As do the 15-inch alloy wheels, shod with 205/60R-15 tires. EPA estimates are 21 city/29 highway, while we managed 24 miles per gallon in every-day driving.īut while the drivetrain sees big changes for 1999, the C230’s double-wishbone front and 5-arm multi-link rear suspension remains the same. This performance carries over to the street, where the new powerplant delivers significantly more power for passing, and does so with impressive fuel economy. Shifts are firmer than in the last 5-speed C-Class that we drove, but never harsh. Not only does that beat Mercedes’ 0-60 claims by a half second, but it’s almost as fast as the discontinued but still formidable C36 super sedan! Though it did so with noticeably more vibration and noise than the company’s normally silky smooth sixes.

Which, when put to the test, pushes this car to 60 in an impressive 7.6 seconds, and through the full 1/4 mile in 15.7 seconds at 89 miles-per-hour. But, that’s 37 more horsepower for the C230 than before, with an equally impressive 38 more pound-feet of torque! All fed through Mercedes’ latest 5-speed adaptive automatic transmission, and standard-for-1999, ASR traction control system. Borrowed from the SLK roadster, the 2.3-liter supercharged, intercooled 4-banger makes the same 185 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque. And in the 1999 C230 Kompressor, Kompressor being German for supercharger, the difference is immediately apparent.īut first, the numbers. Something that the entry level 4-cylinder Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan definitely needed. So for 1999, Mercedes-Benz has decided to give owners of its 4-cylinder C-Class sedans a boost, and one that should help them keep up with the Jones’.īecause adding a supercharger means a big power increase.

Their cars, despite having all the luxury and refinement of other Mercedes, are always outpaced by V6 and V8 models. I bought my 2003 C230 with 88k for $3400 at a dealer auction so you should pay max $5000 out the door for it if you want a good deal.Mercedes-Benz owners that drive the company’s normally-aspirated 4-cylinder models have always been the “poor relations” when it comes to performance. A lot of stuff gets reports and small dings do. The kompressor definitely gives it a nice kick.

Also, mine is a 6-speed and I would say jump on the manual Mercedes', you won't find many in America. Maintain it and it won't give you problems. They don't have any MAJOR problems other than the timing chain. The c-class only have small things go out, door handles, plastics, things anyone can fix. they seem to jump about every 80-120k miles. 2002-2004 have a problem with the timing chain skipping teeth, mine just did that and cost me about $1k to fix, and that was the cheapest outcome. 2005 has a completely different interior and everything. Ignore getzall, his is a different model completely.
#Merc 230 kompressor plus
I work for my dad on a used car dealerships so I know quite bit about these, plus I own one :D. They are nothing but problems, they get fixed after that. I might be a little late, but as a rule of thumb, never buy a first year body style C-Class, no 1995, no 2002.
