CGI vs Kompressor

[Polish]

So am looking at acquiring one of these two, more on the lower range (180 or 200).

Understand the mechanical differences, but am wanting some hands on comments on the pros and cons of drivers who have experienced these.

I try stick to the speed limit most of the time, and besides occasional out of town visit drive short distances (close to work), do maybe 15000 kms per year.

I want some torque, engine longevity and fuel efficiency.

Which should I be looking at more ?

Thx

Fuel efficiency - CGI.
Torque - Kompressor.

I've had a 2009 C200K for a year now. City driving averages at about 10.5l/100km, but I tend to accelerate a bit more than I need to. On the open road (cruise control 130km/h) I get around 7.8l/100km.

That's good for a petrol car.

Would the CGI be that much lower ?

any reason for not considering the CDI ?

Mercedes-Benz C-Class C180 CGI BlueEfficiency 7G-Tronic claims a combined 6.4l/100
Mercedes-Benz C-Class C180 Kompressor blueefficiency claims 7.8 l/100 km combined.

Just the price, they seem to be generally a bit more expensive than similar model petrol counterparts.
