Thats how i kill my hard shifts on cold starts.

So either i have one of the good ones that have no problems shifting rough, or everyone is just treating their 202s like crap.

And yes, while it IS a compact luxury, specs wise it is considered by many a mid-size sedan. I mean, it seats four 6' tall people comfortably. And I'm in love especially with the 202 tails :]
My 96 C220 feels larger inside, and is much easier to get and out of, compared to my 2006 C230 sport. The W202 has got to be big inside because it is boxy
