Never a truer word... Horsepower sells Engines .but Torque wins Races.
I now know why our C 200 CGI drives much better than our C250 CGI.
There is no noticeable power gain until nearly 4000 RPM. in the C250. Whereas the C200 's power comes in at round half the Revs. Same 1.8 Lt. Turbo engine.
I have to drive the C250 in sports Mode and boot it along to feel the same omph. The older 5 speed Auto holds both Cars back .. but at least it is reliable and not costly to rebuild if it ever becomes necessary.
The C250 Avantgarde looks all shiny and bright in Metallic Silver with dress Chrome all over, but I made the right choice when I bought the plain White C 200 new.
