Took the C250 for a decent drive today! Still smiling :)

Hi all! Took the car out today to stretch it's legs! I had it washed this morning then went for a decent drive. Hit the twisties around the King Lake area. It was awesome! The way the car handles is unbelievable, and with the windows down and the panoramic sunroof open, the sound of the exhaust at the top end of the rev range is so addictive!! The transmission is phenomenal also, especially in 'Sport' mode while using the paddles to shift through the gears. Now, to have some family time with a fantastic Australia Day dinner!!

Try one with the Advanced Agility package and "M" only transmission mode.

Great write up Nuxi and reassuring to hear the handling is as good as also described by so many Aust. magazine reviewers and that's for both petrol and diesel variants

As said above, the handling is even better with the AMG pack, so I'm definitely salivating and looking forward to mine

Nice pics too, looks fantastic !!!
