from an SUV to a C230...

I recently purchased a 2005 Silver C230 K sport sedan. After having 2 SUVs prior, it is a HUGE change for me. I forgot how much fun driving could be! I don't have any kids and I never have any passengers so I really don't know why I had it.

So far everything is great. I am 6' bigger guy and amazingly it is one of the most comfortable cars I have ever driven. The Harmon Kardon sound system has to be my favorite feature.

Just wanted to get my feet wet in this forum and say how happy I am to be a new member of the club!

congrats and welcome ! i know your situation as i was in the same one before getting my C230 (2 previous vehicles were a Dodge Dakota quad cab, and Ford Explorer XLT) boy were those things a pain for long drives, i got sick of being in those cabins so easily. i enjoy every minute of being in my car and it's been almost a year since i've gotten her, you should enjoy the "upgrade" just fine
