Generally smooth ride. Road holding excellent when cornering at speed.

Previous C class was not the Kompressor variant - it definitely makes a big difference!

Living with it
Reliability
Car is almost 3 years old with 90k mileage. Whilst nothing serious has failed there have been a few niggles, although they have generally been sorted.
Image
It may be 'only' a C class ... but its still a Merc!
Comfort
Nice to see that Climate Control is now standard. Could be a bit more leg room in the rear and the boot is on the small side.
