Sorry for jumping your **** RoninAG.

BTW, I'm 4 months from graduating college (degree number two) and I have 7 years experience in my field and I'm only 24. I bet you didn't even come CLOSE to that when you were my age (if in fact you are older than me, it's hard to tell from your juvenile responses).

I only ended up here because the W202 and W203 share drive train components. And it's 'vice versa' mister "4 months from graduating college (degree number two) and I have 7 years experience in my field".

Where did that come from???
But seriously.... I can't understand what that guy was saying too... English isn't my first language and I usually have greater understanding than American if other international people speak english.... But this time, I give up.

Well, the fact that I've had to have it worked on, and I REALLY don't want to know how much it really costs out of warranty, twice before 75k miles is number one. It doesn't downshift upon deceleration very well, hence there is a delay when you push the gas pedal after braking to pick up speed again because you're still stuck in 3rd, sometimes even 4th gear, when you go for the gas pedal again. Sometimes you have to floor it to get it to downshift. A good example would be when you make a left turn (probably right turn in your country) while rolling (the light is green and your slowing to make the turn) you have no "get up and go" when you come out of the turn. In general, it's not responsive at all. By comparison, if you go for the gas in a normal fashion after braking (or decelerating) in a similar year Honda Accord, that transmission is there for you right when you need it. It makes it effortless to drive. I have learned to compensate for this, but I don't beleive one should have to LEARN to drive an automatic. All these symptoms I have experienced with both of the different transmissions in C 280's (vaccum controlled and electronic). It's broad spectrum across the board, even the 2005 C 230K I am driving right now, mine's in the shop, has these same issues.
How many years you drive the car?
722.6 It is necessary to get used to driving.
In automatic boxes 722.6 was an engineering mistake. Which have corrected approximately in 1998. It was only the technical mistake which influenced durability 722.6. If it is interesting.... I can tell why.
