iceman91 · 12th April 2005, 18:49

after reading the thread by gto on the mercedes c class i dont think you would be interested in it anymore..or at least you will think twice....

I was just going to write that ICE...
Seriously man, never knew owning a merc would be a pain in the behind... I mean after reading GTOs experience, dont think anybody would be stupid enough to go for the C Class over the RS.....
Hope there arent similar experiences from RS owners... Mad Monkey, are u listening????

hey guys a merc is a true merc the quality and comfort that the merc has the skoda cant have it and owning a merc makes u even more proud. i dont say that the rs is a bad car but a merc is a merc

A mercedes is a mercedes all ight.
Just ask GTO and Sahil (not me though - i have no issues yet. Touchwood) and they will agree that owning a merc is an entirely different experience.
But seriously dude,
Where have you been.
Go to the Sticky Mercedes Post in the indiancar scene.

yeah man..mercedes has seriously gone down....if anything, i'd go for BMW..but they are hella expensive in india and the ones i always see in india..are always on the side of the road broken down..so iono. Yah the RS is trick man....what other car brand new u get a MP3 changer and Xenons for 14 lakhs?

after gto's thread, mercedes-benz's image has certainly gone down in front of me and while RS is more easy to drive around and push in any area, but i dont think a 150 hp tc'ed Skoda RS can beat the ON-ROAD presence of a Merc C200K!
mercedes-benz's a.s.s. and quality has def. gone down notches here in India but the fact still remains that these are the ultimate of Status Symbols anyone can get for his/her money.
i would buy a merc c anyday over even a skoda superb leave alone a RS!
just my opinion...!
