i havent had the pleasure of driving a C320 wagon, but i have had a C320 sedan and coupe. both were very nice.

edit: come to think of it, i did drive one at the C-Spot in 2003 and 2004.

to my surprise, the C320 Wagon is not that slow. it might be a little under power at high end but it sure has some grunt at low end. the ride was firm and very stable at high speed (took it up to 120mph). the seats are comfortable, but lack of lateral support. there are less road noise than my C32 (i guess the less road noise is because of the smaller rims and tires). i can feel that the steering is not as responsive as my own car (because of the AMG tuned suspension on the C32). the last thing is that the braking is on the soft side. I need to apply more pressure for it to stop. over all i think MB made a nice little wagon.

although the Desert Silver/Sand combo is a little odd to me, the C320 Wagon is a great car to drive.
haha, thats pretty funny that they gave you a loaner "c320 wagon" not that bad though (better then a 240 for sure) but When i took my car in for "Service A" i got an 03' M3 SMG... and let me tell you i filled up the entire tank before i dropped it off the next day... what a ride (reminds me of the time when i was debating over my C32, S4, or M3 but hey it still doesnt compare to my baby benz... im wondering why they gave you a wagon... usually they are suppose to give you something of the same value thats why i think when i went to my dealership (Rallye of Long Island) they gave me the Black M3... anyway

i will be posting pics of my black suede headliner soon -- its going to make ya'll tripp - peace

I had my 230SC at the dealer overnight waiting on parts two weeks ago. The C240 felt much more luxerious, buy MY HEAVANS... I was gunning it from light to light...

next day I drove the 240 to work and around lunch time my dealer delivered my 230 to me, it feelt so good to have it back.

But I could definately sence more of a luxery feel with the 240
