Buy Merc C180/200 or Jaguar X-type 2.0 V6?

Can't decide which to buy? Merc, on paper, seems like a good buy but feels cramp at the back seat and the car looks small. Jaguar is less powerful but has a rather smooth engine, back seats are small, and no back seat aircon ducts. Which car have more problems that require more workshop visits? Any comments out there? Thanks

after driving for a few months, jag feels smooth and very stable because of its solid bodywork .......feels very safe while driving it [thumbsup] even at high speeds

 

compared to C180/200, its much more stable and luxurious

although the initial pick up will not be fast but its not a sports car anyway

 

however when you rev it up , it can be quite dangerous as its 'turbo' kicks in , its V6 can really fly [jawdrop]

 

have test drive C200 before buying the X-type , its interior not bad although not as classical feel as the X

 

its pick up faster but the body not as stable , seems lighter

 

equipment wise , almost the same , but the stereo in X is very good customised cd player with cd changer at the back ........sound very good [thumbsup]

 

dun know about FC for C200 but for X, its 17L/100 km, quite ok if you can afford this car

 

as for looks, its definitely better-looking than the normal C200 (as common as rolla)

i have chosen the X also because or the slick design and service quality

 

good follow up from SE and attitude from the service center [thumbsup]

 

FYI dun approach the female SEs in Malayan motors , most are snobbish B#$$%

mine is a guy called Jeff , quite nice ppl , not attitude like those B#$#

 

hope this helps [thumbsup]
