Powered by a 1.8-litre supercharged four cylinder engine, driving through either a six-speed manual or - as tested by Car Showroom - a five-speed automatic, the C200 KOMPRESSOR is a mid-size four-door sedan which might be the price leader but still highlights Mercedes-Benz technology and quality. With 135kW and 250Nm, Mercedes-Benz 1.8-litre supercharged four-cylinder engine eclipses BMWs naturally-aspirated 2.0-litre (115kW/200NM). Covering zero to 100km/h in 8.8 seconds and returning combined cycle fuel economy of 8.2l/100kms, the 1.8-litre demonstrates why Mercedes went the supercharged route - the performance of a six cylinder with the fuel economy of a four. The relatively lightweight of the four-cylinder with reduced mass over the front axle also pays dividends in the ride and handling department. As you would expect, calibration to the five-speed automatic is first-class with the C200 KOMPRESSOR delivering spirited acceleration around town and relaxed freeway cruising. Only done 31xxx kilometres $33,500 non negotiable
