Here she is, my 2012 C250 Coupe in Palladium Silver

Here are some outdoor and indoor shots, I absolutely love the way she looks in night shots, the colour stands out much better than in the day light.

Enjoy,

I've got the same colour and just love it. Have seen one in Black and one in Silver and neither colour is as attractive.

Good choice.

Do you mind sharing the driving experience?

Is this your daily commute? How does this compare to your pevious car?

I've had the car a little over a month and already have 4,500 kms on it (it is my daily commute and decided to take a drive to Stowe Vermont the weekend I got it).

My daily drive is about 30 kms each way and the route varies from major highways to rural backroads. Enjoy my ride to work more than I ever have. Hard to compare to my last car as it was a Ford Edge. My wife has an SUV so I figured no point in having two. The main things I love about the C250 are:
- Acceleration. The engine may be small but it moves.
- Handling. Been a while since I owned a car and love throwing it into the turns and taking on/off ramps.
- Gas mileage is unbelievable. On my trip to Stowe I got almost 1,000 kms out of a tank.
- And love the look of the car.

Very pleased with my purchase and hope the next few years continue to put a smile on my face.

How do you like yours?

I agree with all of the above. I was driving a '98 Toyota 4Runner that I'd owned for 12 years before I got my C250 Coupe. Half my payment is what I'm saving in gas from making the switch! Everything else is just sugar on top. I suppose diabetes can't be far off

Congrats, it looks superb

Mileage is fantastic, that would mean the diesels would be capable of achieving phenominal mileage figures

It's is also my daily car, what can i say, i too came from driving a Toyota to MB, so there is really no comparison. Well... i do have to spend more on gas now , i just filled her up 44 liters for $58 bucks, and gas price is actually low this week...., other than that, it also makes me worry a lot more when i leave the car in the parking lot and go to work, I keep thinking about it all day if someone is going to make a dent or scratch my car.

lol, same here. It makes me a nervous wreck sometimes. I find myself parking in extremely remote spots, next to curbs or wherever else I can find that minimizes risk. I also get really nervous if I leave it parked somewhere in the less nice side of town. I'm getting better about it though.

How many times have you washed it? I've had mine just over 4 weeks and I've washed it at least 6 times lol. I like detailing it by hand because it allows me to spend some quality time with it without putting additional miles on the odometer
