QUOTE(Jim.tan @ Apr 13 2016, 02:37 PM) If you been driving a SUV, and you sudden switch to A Class.. i think you will definitely feel the difference. Hopefully won't be too bad to you, anyway most would feel it's only some slight bumpy along city. I just "received" a A250 2013 Priced around 170K if you keen, can PM for more details  Hi Jim, thanks for the advise. I will still keep my SUV. Keep A200 as second car for home minister. A250 will be lagi bumpy la.

I do not like the look of B class. Actually, you should look for second hand B class because I think the resell value is not good. U can get a good offer. Last few months ago, there is one unit in Mutiara Damansara, u can go check out.

Hi All,
Will be soon taking over my brothers W210. Wanted to know a few things
1.) currently it has the front tires as 245/40ZR18 and the rear as 265/35Z18. These are kinda expensive to maintain (The last time he changed all four it cost a little over RM 4K for toyo)
So i would like to change them to a more budget friendly yet safe drive size. I believe these will also require me changing the rims.
Anyone can advise what are the possible things to look out for to help ensure safety is kept at the highest priority when doing this change?
2.) Wanted to get advise where can i go to to install reverse cam and parking sensors with wave light.
Thought bout getting it from online as the price is cheaper but then need to find a shop that can install it is another hassle i feel. Any advise.
3.) The current steering wheel is a full original leather type. I wanted to update this to the half wood trim type. what would be the things to look out for safety and price wise.
Any good place that can be recommended to do these update at a really reasonable price?

hi all MB owners. May i know what are the pro and cons for c200 new vs recond e250 (2014 imported)?
For imported e250, some of them built in with distronic+, lane /blindspot assist features which local assembly dont have it. Are those features good or just an extra headache for owners? The feature looks cool when cruising on highways and it will auto distance itself against the car infront of you..

Nope, W205 Gearbox don't have much issues (or any complaints from customer) Hmm the W213 is coming, so most W212 value will drop. At current Local Market, W212 2014 E-Class (Pre-Owned) selling at 245,888 so you can use this benchmark as a comparison.

The feature looks cool when cruising on highways and it will auto distance itself against the car infront of you.. The Distronic + (base on my own experience) its a plus point but not a must to have.. I've tried it once, and imagine the car is controlling by itself (I meant steering wheel) I feel scared... LoL so I cancel the Distronic+ and use normal driving instead. The Active Blind Spot Assist, is very good feature.. Can really prevent dangerous overtaking of cars. At the end of the day, I still feel the pricing for imported e250
