Hi all, I am a GLC 200 owner. I am posting here because we are sharing the same platform as W205.

Anyway, my GLC 200 only has Keyless Start but not Keyless Go. I believe C200 is the same too.

Has anyone here retrofitted Keyless Go in their C200?

The 9 speeder 250 has got a smaller screen than the 7 speeder! No more piano wood  finishing Liao!

nope, the c250 has bigger screen and it's a 9 speeder where the c350e has a smaller screen and it's a 7 speeder. Somemore the wood finishing on the console panel is on the c250 and c350e has the carbon console

I was referring to the center display aka the iPad! The 9 speeder is a 7’ display!

i went and tested the BMW 330e was impressed with the Head Up Display (HUD) and those emergency buttons (not sure if it works). the downside is the interior.

The price is comparable to C200 after the government subsidi on the 'green technology' for around RM130k. it is a really good offer plus 5 yrs free service.

but was told BMW will give you all the headache and mercedes is a more reliable car.....

now i m in a seriousl dilema... LOL but i have paid deposit for the C200 tho

IMO, the only con of c350e for me is the weight of the electric motor and battery. Its weighing about extra 300kg compare to its siblings. Imagine if you are driving alone, you are like fetching another 4 adults weighing about 73kg each.

Why worry about the weight of the car? U seldom need to fill petrol. But u need to always charge the car daily la.. Just drove up Genting yesterday. Can go up effortlessly.. Was tailgated by a Mistubishi lancer but cannot vroom vroom la coz my father-in-law was beside me and my kids and wife was behind. In the end, just let it pass.

My friend's borther in law just bought a C250 and feedback to me that the engine is very noisy. I told him that his car not a hybrid. But my car's engine will also roar like his when the hybrid battery have drop below < 20%.

I am sure you need to use some fuel when going up genting! Unless one travel less than 30km a day, fuel is still needed ! I am sure one could hardly hear any engine noise in the car cabin unless the car is revved ! Try to rev till redline and your 350e will also roar! laugh.gif Wt of the car increase the FC especially when revving hard! Thus it's a concerned by some and maybe not you coz you only drive less than 30km daily and light footed! biggrin.gif

Ofcoz fuel is needed la but not that much compare to non-hybrid/non plug-in hybrid vehicle. Probably c350e suits my wife and my usage better coz we normally drive around town area where there alot of traffic lights, schools and speed humps. Hence good FC and comfort ride. When i have the urge of need for speed, this car can fulfil my request. So best of both worlds.

Sorry, i forgot to explain clearer. The engine sound is loud from the outside, not the inside when idle. So i told my friend's BIL that its not a concern la since the nvh of his C250 from the inside is quite good. I also pointed out that my car engine is also loud during idle when the battery is below around 20%.

I would go with C250 as it has wood trim console instead of carbon fibre. Dashboard stitching, Bigger LCD screen  which is on the C250 and not on the C350e.

And like all the bros says, the battery is around 4 passengers weight which is very heavy and fuel consumption when you run out of battery power. And to replace the battery cost around rm 40k
*
no offense bro but seems like you and some of forumers here are getting the idea of how PHEV works wrongly. I have a c350e as a daily drive.

1) Yes the battery is heavy but this battery provide huge load of torque. Total output engine plus battery is 600nm bro. 5.9sec vs 6.5sec, tell me which car requires less push? The battery power overcome the weight of it bro.

2) Unlike the 330e, c350e's battery doesn't run out until 0%. The engine will automatically turn on to charge the battery when battery falls below 10%. Thus keeping it above 10%. Therefore, you will always have the power on demand. 330e on the other hand can use up their battery until 0% then its a deadweight.

3) Only time where the whole system allows the battery to fall below 10% is when you run out of petrol. This is risky so I usually pump on the 1st blink.

4) Fuel consumption is depending on how often you charge the car and the distance you drive daily. There is few members hitting 1,000km per tank by charging once or twice a day. Bear in mind that c350e fuel tank is only 50L compared to non hybrid siblings at 656L if im not wrong.

Hi. I just got my C350e yesterday. Awesome car powerful and smooth drive.

I want to ask if I will void my warranty if I.

1. Install 3rd party dash cam.
2. Change my front grill to 3rd party diamond grill.
3. Unlock the Apply CarPlay at accessories shop

Any info will be helpful.

When u collect your car, your SA will explain almost all the functions of the car. From there u can check if everything is working properly. Besides that, just do the usual visual check, lamp check, etc.
