go to the dealer. test drive a pre-owned 01-05 auto, and a new 06 auto. you compare and be the judge.

i still say test drive for your self. the 7G i smoother, downshift to the lowest available gear rather than stepping down each gear.

how far away is the nearest dealer?

i've driven both and the 7speed is better imo. I drove a new C230 for the past 2 days and the over all feel of the 06's is better imo. Maybe it's the tranny, the motor or everything combined i don't know but I must say i'm glad I went with the 06.
