Mercedes-Benz C180 CGI BlueEfficiency AMG

December 8th, 2010 | By Falkiner

The striking Mercedes-Benz CGI BlueEfficiency AMG proves that the isn’t just for octogenarians, The Wheel Deal My flat is one of those people who spends his day the population into neat pie charts and graphs. I don’t how he does it but by fiddling around on his this process allows him to what sort of people are in a particular type of product or

Normally his predictions are spot on but in the of the new Mercedes-Benz C180 CGI, he and his marketing supercomputer were feeling a somewhat befuddled. You see going on history alone the is a car that traditionally appeals to the sect but, and much to his I found myself (a 27-year-old) taken with it. Now although he was to explain this anomaly, I can put exception to the rule down to big capital letters: AMG.

Now in case you’re not au fait the world of Mercedes-Benz, AMG is basically the dedicated high-performance wing, a division that makes of the Silver Star both and faster. With the C180 CGI you can the latter but in terms of aesthetics clear that they’ve brought some much-needed to the belly of this beast. expensive – bolt on another R27 500 on top of the R20 000 you to shell out for the obligatory Avantgarde – but once fitted the AMG Sports does much to bump the innocuous C180 CGI up the automotive Scale.

Licked in Obsidian Black I couldn’t believe what a those racy 17-inch side skirts and pronounced and rear aprons made to our car. Normally I feel a bit a fish out of water when a lesser C-Class but for once I unusually hip; like self-made businessman with a hot girlfriend and one of those minimalist apartments buried somewhere in the Johannesburg CBD.

This AMG is just as evident on the inside to some wicked design including a three-spoke, paddle-shifter steering wheel; an aluminum knob; stainless-steel pedals and a tube-type instrument cluster mimics the one used in the hairy-chested Very stylish, very I was suitably impressed with car’s cockpit and found it compares to anything hewn by Audi and BMW.

Needless to say, being off with a truly brilliant position – the amount of adjustability have managed to work the mix is admirable – this makeover high hopes for the driving And for the most part the C180 CGI

Swapping that trademark supercharger for a more fuel-efficient the smooth-revving direct-injection engine this baby C-Class at a fairly rapid rate. It is not the thing on four wheels, but there’s more than power and torque on tap to get a taste of sweet rear wheel-drive Sitting atop a lower-than-average setup (AMG have this model by 15mm), crisp, nimble and actually good when firing corners.

That old-school five-speed gearbox may rob the driver of a certain of involvement – even in Sport it’s no ball of fire – but on the there’s not much else I pull my nose up at. In the comfort it manages to score highly a nicely balanced ride and little wind/road noise when travelling at normal speeds. This, incidentally, can be to this Merc’s best-in-class just one of the many elements contribute to the firm’s fuel-saving BlueEfficiency technology.

In the end, not quite as dynamic as the BMW 3 Series but definitely more than the comparable Audi A4, the new CGI Avantgarde AMG is a surprisingly lustful that does a great job at the C-Class stereotype. It’s a add-on, yes, but for the premium you pay all-important AMG Sports Package makes this Mercedes an proposition on nearly every Plus buying it means you’ll mess with a few marketer’s heads, which I of like.
