That's pretty cool, I didn't know you could get those with a manual transmission. __________________ ~Dave~

I'd think so, it's a 4-cyl. just like the ti, comes from their step above the entry level (C-Class <--> 3-Series) big difference between the two is that one comes with a factory supercharger | | | | | 10-19-2008, 11:32 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |

That's actually a pretty good price. I've been pricing them here in Cali for a couple years now and they usually go for 11k+. Like spidertri said, manuals are pretty hard to find. I'd say that 1 out of every 5 I see is a manual. Seen a white one today, love the way they look. I haven't seen one modded yet, hoping to be one of the first. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 10-20-2008, 04:14 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |

Trunk is wider compared to the ti, allowing for more choices for spoilers. No rear wiper though. First thing I would mod would be the suspension. I hear they're real mushy. Next would be the tail lights (reminds me of upside down vampire teeth =\ ). __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

Yeah, I've always liked the way they looked and I agree they look kinda funny with the stock suspension. That would be my first mod as well. I didn't notice this until today, but the black shiny section under the painted panel below the rear windshield is actually tinted glass! As I was following the white one today, it kinda looked like it had a spoiler, but it was actually the light shining through the glass creating an illusion that there was a gap between the painted surface and the lower part of the hatch. C230 Hatches FTW! Smoked tails might help the Vampire look  17" wheels, a drop and a front lip would do so much for those cars. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 10-20-2008, 04:40 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 |

Liking the C230 is a secret that I've had since the first time I saw one. um.. umm... fcuk you Mav! I liked them first! __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 10-20-2008, 06:42 PM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 |
I too kept it a secret that I liked this car. My only reservation was that they didn't have manual transmissions, this one is the first I have ever seen with a manual.
These cars would look fantastic with mods.
After reading about them a bit it appears they only have a 1.8L engine, not a 2.3L. __________________ ~Dave~
