The Scirocco was a badass car especially with the SC setup.

The Benz is just hood rich trash.

It's like saying an RSX isn't an Integra.

I though everybody hated MB C230 . I've always liked them as well as the 318's that everybody dislikes. I like them, but not enough to spend the money for one since there are better cars at that price point, even in the used car market.

by the way, it looks like they don't make them anymore.

no, they dont i was just making the comparrison. i drove an 03 C230 last year. it was AT but that's no excuse for how much of a pig it was. it didnt seem to have much power, maybe cuz it weighs a ton, maybe that kompressor 4 cyl just doesnt have what it takes. but ive heard that the 6 speed makes up for a lot of that....

as for the 318ti (i believe thats the one you're referring to) i wanted to buy one 5 or 6 years ago, i found one i liked but it got sold a day or 2 before i got to it...



german hatchbacks are cool h:

Scirroco and Corrado are my favorite VW's ever... Actually on my top ten list of cars to possess someday.
