Default first time MB buyer

Hello All,

Just a quick question really. I currently have a Rover Tomcat Turbo. I have to sell this & get a "Family Car" as I have twins on the way.

I have been looking at various different MBs for a couple of weeks, but cannot make my mind up. Basically I am going for a C class around about 1999 - 2000. I was thing either the C230K C200 sport, C240 or C280. I do about 80 miles a day & live in the UK, so petrol costs would need to be kept to a minimum, so the C36 is out of the question.

What would be the best car for performance?

What I would like to know is would any of these cars, if tuned, be capable of putting in 0-60 times of 6 sec's?

Any comments much appriciated.

Hell a Ford Pinto can turn sub sixes if you tune it enough. How much you want to spend? Your best reasonable bet would be the 280 or the 230K.
