If you want a car that won't break down and the top comes off...S2000

I can't think of many reasons to buy a C32...I guess the fact that it's an AMG?

The S2000 is a blast to drive compared to the C32. It's really is personal preference. The S2000 will be a ton more reliable. If you get the C32, I hope you're a technopath that can talk to computers/electronics. If not you'll be spending big bucks to maintain/repair it.

I am selling my C32 to get an S2000 back. (I had the S before I got the AMG). C32 is so much $$ to maintain and handles like crap (no LSD). Great for straightaways and highway though.

Siberianx, I figured the C32 wouldn't be cheap to repair but was under the impression it was relatively reliable. Its not as nimble as an S but I do like how small it is... Thanks for all the feedback. I'm leaning toward the S.

Had a C230 Kompressor and the supercharger had to be replaced three times under warranty. Stay away from Benz, they have gotten as bad as Audi.

Does it really matter? You're going to be bored and get rid of whatever it is within a few years anyway.

I am already at $3500 for repairs just this year for the C (fuel pump etc). My warranty runs out next year and I am getting the hell out of MB.
