I am considering purchasing a Mercedes C180 Coupe,probably a 2002 or 2003 model. I would like the model with the panoramic sun roof.

However, I am a guy in his late 20's, and anybody I have mentioned the car too has told me that its a woman's car. Theyve said its basically an upscale version of the Hyundai Coupe which is a "Hairdresser's Car"

I look forward to your opinions.

Are you trying to compensate for something?
 
There was a whole thread on gender and cars here. It's quite amusing, worth a read.

The Merc C180 Coupe didn't get a look in, so not gender specific, or at least not sufficiently so other AAM'ers felt the need to comment!
 
Sorry....have to comment on this - C180 is a girly car; no doubt about it. Get a BMW 3 series coupe instead.
 
Not only is it too girly for a man, it's even too girly for a girl!!

BMW 3 Series coupe is bordering on girly too.
 
Serious hairdresser territory with a c180.... get a 3 series instead which is in no way girly....
 
C180, girlie writ large, in fact all of the C-class suffer from this as it stands for "Chick-Merc".
 
Don't know anything about this car, but if it's a girly car then it means girls will like it and it becomes a babe magnet - perfect for a 20 something guy.

Not sure about that. I assume that most women require at least a certain degree of manliness from their man - having similar tastes in 'girly' things would probably hinder rather than help.

Would women generally find it attractive if their man loved Sex & the City or Hello magazine?

Occasionally maybe, but I'm guessing usually not.

no, no, no....this will not happen. Actually I do not even think that 'girls' would like its looks that much. It is probably more a car a sixty-something retired lady would drive as she popped into town for lunch or to get her hair done for an upcoming social event.
 
I drive a JCB for a living, I also drink pints of porter, curse, play hurling, pick my nose and fart.... oh I also drive a C180. The people above who think it's girly are obviously very insecure about something?? Can't say what, but here's a hint - it sounds like a small piano player!
 
While everyone is debating whether it's girly, the fact that it's a rubbish seems to have gone amiss.

Who cares whether it's girly or not. Buy the car you want, not what your neighbours want.

Asking for the approval from others to make a decesion isn't very manly in the first place.
 
For those who do not know, this is what we are discussing

You sound like a few of the women who play camogie for our local club :D.
It's a wusses car though as is the slk merc imo. Get youself a proper man's coupe such as the XK8, BMW 6 series or CL500.
