Lower-aspect-ratio tires and accompanying wheels may provide substantially increased treadwear, increased tire noise and reduced ride comfort. Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if the vehicle is operated on rough or damaged road surfaces or upon encountering road debris or obstacles. These tires are not designed for use on snow and ice. Winter tires mounted on appropriately sized and approved wheels are recommended for driving in those conditions.

It is the driver's responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for system alerts before braking or taking evasive action, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance.

Hi Paul, I drive a Mark II model 99. However, I want to upgrade. I am torn between a Mark X and Mercedes Benz c200 CDi Sports Coupe (2001). From the two, what would you advise me to go for in terms of fuel consumption, stability, comfort, maintenance and other features? Dan Emorut

No wonder Mark X accelerates from 0-100 kilometres per hour in 8.4 seconds, while the C200 takes 12.1 seconds.

The diesel Mercedes C200 CDi (common rail diesel) 0M611 produces a modest 115 horsepower but a bigger torque of 250 NM (put simply engine output is how fast you hit a wall while Torque is how much of the wall you take away with you).

Torque is useful when towing or driving on difficult terrain. The 2.1 litre CDi engine on the Mercedes is quiet, smooth and more fuel efficient (highway: 21.7 kilometres per litre).

The bigger Mark X LxWxH: (4735x1775x1435mm) feels more spacious and provides more ample legroom for rear passengers and load space in the boot than the C200 (4526x1728x1426mm).

The Mark X interior exudes a more luxurious and expansive front console with chrome and walnut wood finishes. The C200 feels a little underserved as if the designers held back a bit on luxury. C200 interior has more plastic finishes.

Safety of both vehicles is ample with supplementary restraint air bags and ABS brakes. Maintenance is easy for both cars if you find good garages and use good detergency oils or fuels. Diesel engines tend to become expensive to maintain when they age. Insist on using clean detergency diesel to maintain the fuel injectors.

Genuine maintenance and repair parts are readily available. Mercedes C200 is a prestige brand with slow depreciation.
