Many would consider the C-class something of an old-timer, although the C55 AMG remains a firm favourite among us 'younger' folks. A big shout out to DaimlerChrysler for the last minute loan of a sexy black C200 Sport Edition last Friday.
This 'run-out' spec has been outfitted with sporty niceties like new (and bigger) sports rims, aluminium trim in the cabin, big-bore exhaust (great sonorous note) and assorted garnish.
Revisiting the car has certainly opened our eyes. We'd take this over an entry level BMW 320i any day. The C200 feels nimble and the 163bhp supercharged engine is peppy compared to the sluggish Bimmer. Compact proportions mean it's easy to punt around and the standard equipment list includes electric driver AND passenger seats.
Tail-outs are easily provoked with a prod of the gas pedal, but the traction control quickly cuts in and inhibits holding a drift. Smoke outs are possible though and the footage is NOT from an AMG car, but the C200!
