Car Option offers Mercedes Benz Millennium model

If you put the most powerful car engine in the hood of the safest family wagon, what do you have? A Mercedes Benz E200, the Millennium model.

Dubbed the "sports family wagon" powered by a four cylinder, 191 hp Kompressor engine, the Mercedes Benz E200 that can accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in 6.8 seconds, is a class in itself, with features that cannot be matched by other wagons.

Danny Chan, manager of Car Option which is first to offer the Benz Millennium model in the country, said the E200 is better than its predecessor the E240 that went out in the market last year.

"The E200 is the safest wagon for the family with its standard six airbags including a roof airbag, seatbelts for every passenger and an ABS system that senses impending wheel lockup under heavy braking and pumps the front brakes individually or the rear brakes together (to help maintain stability) as needed up to 30 times per second to prevent lockup and maintain steering ability," Chan said.

Car Option, located at 1197 Quezon Ave. (near Delta), also offers the E200 Mercedes Benz sedan for the traveling executive.

Driving the E200 is like driving the most superior sports car with its super charged Kompressor engine, far more powerful than those turbo charged engines and so smooth that passengers won't feel if passing by a hump.

Car Option offers all kinds of repair and service and has complete spare parts and accessories. Its showroom, with telephone numbers 371-30-28/29/31 also houses other vehicles such as Chevrolet Astra van, Pajeros, Starex vans and used imported vehicles.
