Our family car has been this exact same model with the Elegance pack since the time I was born, it is also from 2003, but boy can I tell you it is absolutely fabulous, finding one for £1250 in the UK is just JACKPOT

I was fortunate to buy one of the last ones that came into South Africa (2007). A beautiful dark blue C180 Kompressor with cream leather interior. The best part is that my car has only 40k kilometers on the clock. I am still running the original tires that came with the car. My car was always garaged and the back seats has hardly ever been sat on. I find myself doing oil changes every year, cause the mileage is so low. The best part of this car is that it's a 6 speed manual, and has a proper rack and pinion power steering, instead of the new electric steering....
I love that this car feels so solid, even closing the doors, you hear and feel that quality MB build.

I have a 2005 C230. (Mercedes did not sell the C180 or the C200 in the U.S.) Manual transmissions are rare in the U.S., but I managed to find a car with a 6-speed. I bought the car as a commuter, but after driving the car for 4 years I have concluded it is an overlooked gem.

Unusual to see one of these so well looked after. Especially with a manual. Looks like a great find! I went Volvo V70 D5 manual for my winter hack to keep the salt off my Z4 Coupe, but can see the appeal here.

W203 was one of the last Bruno Sacco designs so it was sensible and very Mercedes. Some later cars have similar DNA but Bruno's influence is long gone.

I have a W203 C180 Kompressor, year 2006, only 105k km! Automatic, 143 hp. Same silver colour. It's kept in mint condition, not a bruise or scratch. It's my daily drive here in Dublin, Ireland. Cloth interiors as well.

[encinobalboa]

The range of engines fitted to the W203 is amazing. Chassis could handle it all the up to the mighty 5.4L.

I have a 2003 Mercedes C180 Kompressor also with the 6 speed manual gearbox, had it for 3 years now, makes a great first car too😁greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

I got the c180 avantgarde 2005 auto model, still running daily after 18 years with 440.000km.

[arvin]

Just got one yesterday as my first car. Its a 2004 C180k and it's only done 57, 000KMs!

[fasttrackblastback]

Want one of these next.. It's just the headlights that let it down for me in terms of looks but inside you certainly get a lot for your money and you soon forgot how it looks outside 😅

[FuzzWoof]

Picked up a slightly scruffy but low mileage 2006 facelift C320CDi with the sport pack for £1495 last year. Not the most dynamic thing around corners, but the torque from the 3 litre diesel in a fairly small car still makes me grin when I overtake and it'll sit on the motorway doing nearly 50mpg in 7th gear.

[bikeman]

You'll have to clean it religiously in winter. Those W203s rust badly.

[michaelmwai]

I'm so jealous of you guys in the UK. A Yr.2000 W203 C200 is currently going for about £377 in my country.

Just picked up a C180 verison Well on monday.

[KVernon]

The m271 engine has 1 fault and thats the timing chain. But I believe that is due to people not fixing the underlying issue when it arises which is the breather hoses.

[boyinsky]

This car is same as my first car i got it still and i buy it only 4.5k on euro and drivet only 198tkm i wash so happy got it now it gona get engine boost to 240hp that gona be beast to that car type

[GilZu]

Design looks timeless and beautiful in my mind.
I'm just not fan of that trim level.
