welcome! and abt "slow" what do you expect from a $32,000 mercedes.
A 6 speed 230 is great enough for street cruising. if you wanted power, you should had gotten the C280 or C350 I suppose.

but whats gonna be your first mod!?

you will barely notice 50%

if you want light, go at least 35%

beautiful car, looks like the same neighborhood I live in. If you decide to tint go talk to Mr. Tint in the Escondido Auto Park area, they did a great job on my 05 and yes they understand the mole hair issue when installing tint on a MB.

Looks good, I think the C classes are subsidised in N.A. Have you looked at Mercedes of UK and see what the price is for a comparably equipped car? We are getting a heck of a deal.

I second that. I thought the roof package was pretty much a done deal. Also no CD changer but a nice looking car nontheless!

i know..when i bought my car I was looking for no-moonroof because I didn't need one and I liked to save some dollars, but they couldn't find one so i had no choice. Even now I still don't think the moonroof is that useful cuz I rarely use it..but oh well. However i really like the rain-sensing wiper which i think comes with the moomroof package (i may be wrong). Everytime when it rains I just turn it on without having to worry about changing its speed. Nice feature!!
