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

the thing is, no matter what people say, what you think, and how it drives in your mind is all that matters. in the end, its your money not mine.

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?

the 05's do the downshift to the lowest available gear for optimum acceleration as well...

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.
