C300 Cabriolet post 2 Week Video Review
I have been driving with the top down most of the time even on the cloudy days to and from work. I wasn't sure if I would be too self conscious to drive topless because I am not an attention seeker by nature.
If you find that the day to day commute has become one of the pains of daily life in a big city, cabriolets restore the fun in driving you felt when you first got your license back in the day. (IMO)

Leslielp,
Thanks again for an excellent video review, i'm glad you are happy with the cabrio.
Having decided on colours ( blue /cranberry ), I just have to deal with the performance exhaust /18 inch all season tire dilemma that is present in the Canadian build.

The difference between the Canadian version vs the USA is getting a bit tiresome.
We don't get the MBrace which is basically a Mercedes WiFi service that would allow seamless connectivity with the MB Apps, Internet browsing and that SOS button that connects you to MB Road Service. Then there is the whole slew of Smart Phone Apps that allow you to remote start, remote window control and GPS car location.
You can get the Multi Spoke 19" Tire and Rims for $500. I do think they look better with the AMG package.

My problem is I want the performance exhaust with the regular 18inch all seasons and not the 19 inchers that it has to be paired with . Maybe I can do a switcheroo with help from salesman ? Do you have 18 inch with ali - seasons and if so how is the ride ?

The 18" all season ride fine. The car is lower and I don't have the Active Suspension so there are times I notice the bumps and road imperfections. These are identical to what I had in the W205 Sedan so I can honestly say that their is a tiny bit more road noise from this setup over the Sedan. The trade off is that you do feel a lot more connected to the road than I ever did in the sedan. (BTW the W205 sedan was the best ride/handling prior to the Cabriolet)
