A Car I Drove Today
Today was a tiring day. Indian wedding. Whole day affair. Needless to say it was utterly boring.
The highlight of the day came when i got to drive a mercedes benz c200 from bangsar to klang.
Got in the car, the engine was already started. The handbrake is something like the harrier's but in order to release in you have to pull a lever. The gears are a little weird. Its like not straight. Shift to reverse, release brake. The car moves, fast enough that u have to step on the brake straight away. The steering is suprisingly really light. Hence making it easier for city driving.
Then came the disappointing part. The acceleration was well, disappointing. I couldnt feel the car going zoom as i stepped on the pedal. Even when i floored it felt like it was barely moving. Even the wira has better acceleration.
Then came the best part. As the car picked up speed (very slowly tough), it just felt so smooth. It was like i was gliding. Cool experience. Another thing is that u can hardly hear the engine making it a very relaxing drive.
Reached the destination, parked the car turned the engine off. Satisfied, but honestly i was expecting more. If given the chance the buy the C200 or the BMW 318i, go for the beemer.
