Re: ***Testdrove a 2008 Mercedes-Benz C320 CDI 4Matic (W204) Avantgarde*** - 04-13-2008, 11:11 AM

thanks once again cawimmer for the great review and pics! the colour looked a bit special.. rather bluish grey, probably due to the reflection from the sky. i would've luv to see the C320CDI 4matic on an Elegance trim though. for some reason i feel that the larger engine sizes fit well with the 'elegant' image of traditional mercedes engineering (and hence the more original look)

seeing this is a 320CDI, can i ask whether you noticed.. did the outside door handles have chrome highlights? I previously thought all avantgarde and elegant trim models have chrome highlights on the doorhandle.. until i saw a C220CDI avantgarde.. thx

I never tested the 320 CDI before I ordered but tested the 200 Kompressor and what a sweet engine that was ! However, being used to the Diesel torque (Volvo v70 with 400 NM), I felt that I'd be dissaponted if I didn't had choosen the 320 CDI...

Oh well, we'll see at the end of May if it was a good choice
speaking of torque, the C320CDI's little brother 220CDI already delivers a rather impresive 400NM (in a 2.1 litre engine.. Audi new A4 needs a 2.7 to match it). you're bound to enjoy the 320
