Faults:

Not much.

The A/C needed gas.

And the locks sometimes don't work. Just old age really.

General Comments:

Well in Dec my W211 E240 decided to leak oil from the rocker cover gaskets. So I needed a car to get around in as I fixed my W211.

A search later (had to be a Merc or a Falcon) and I saw this W203.

I know the W203 has a bad rep. But my one so far is a lovely lil thing.

Has GREAT A/C; it's smooth. The seats are harder than my W211. But not overly so.

The build quality is shockingly good. I have the pre-facelift version, which is the worst W203. But am still reporting no worries at this stage.

While this was meant to be a temporary car while I fix my W211, I think Coby (as I call it) is a keeper. With my old silver (my W211) :)
