I have continuously owned Mercedes cars more thatn twice as long as most of you are old. One bit of advice. Don't think of the C Class as an entry level car that you will move from as soon as you can afford an E or S Class. I have owned several SL's, S Class, E Class and CLK's. Drive the car you enjoy most, not just to show you can afford something more expensive.
Having owned so many with most recently owning several W211's I have settled on a 2006 C350 because that's the car I enjoy driving the most.

What's the point? The older people in this forum are replying honestly with the best intentions, and the younger people are trying to impress us with how young they were when their parents got them a nice car. Having a leased c230 dosn't really impress me kids, sorry.

2005 C230K Sport Sedan, 6 speed manual
Over 40 (no further information available).
I think there are a number of people that drive a C-Class simply because that is what they prefer, not because they cannot afford any more. In my case the C-Class is nearly the perfect size, and it is available with a manual transmission. My concerns over fuel led me to buy the four cylinder C230K over the six cylinder versions (not to mention the "Kompressor" label on the trunk lid).
I do not share the belief of most Americans that bigger is better. I travel a lot in Europe, and think most vehicles there are more reasonably sized.
As to the young adult market, I think this a market Mercedes desperately needs to pursue. They are the future customers. MB is already starting to steal some customers from BMW and Audi, which I believe is their target market. IMO the C230 is very competitive with the 325i and the A4. The standard 6 speed manual transmission indicates MB is serious about the sport sedan market.
