excellent style. esp like the rear parking lens covers. the raised hood emblem should have never been taken off in later models. good accel/pick up for lane changes and hurry up modes. will not replace the 1972 4.5 I once owned but it will definitely do for running errands in town. Will test short trips (maybe and iffy) later. good car.

Car was to be recycled. I had one before (C220) and this was a Kompressor C230. I've always the sedan's styling so I got it cheap. Taking me a while to diagnose the problems but I'm gaining lots of knowledge of this fabled saloon and when complete it will be mine for my lifetime.

I've driven and owned a number of vehicles. It's(c230 Kompressor) not the fastest, prettiest, best riding, most powerful, or most exciting, but overall it's a very good car. Handles nicely, has good pep with the supercharger boost, yet is also comfortable, smooth, and civilized when driven so. Surprising amount of creature comforts that many new cars don't even have. Plenty of room to seat 4 comfortably. Trunk space is decent and the seats fold down . Despite common belief, maintenance isn't as crazy as some make out. Especially if you do your own car work, it's no more expensive to maintain than other vehicles. In 2 years of ownership it's never left me stranded. The biggest con that I've experienced thus far was winter driving. All other vehicles handled adequately with all season tires, this had me buy my first ever set of snow tires. That being said, once those were fit, it drives excellently in the snow.
