I've already commented there.

I think he should have driven the Sport. And that the 3.0 should be the base engine in the Sport.

he shoulda driven the C350 Sport... probably would have been a very different article.

Bashing at it's best! i agree with the blank button comment but aside from that minor flaw i personally like the W203's interior. i think it's clean and subtle. I first time i saw it i wasn't amazed but i was suprised nothing tacky stood out.

I think if you do not drive one the first impression is true. The slow response which is suppose to be so you don't startle your passengers is better in the larger luxury class Mercedes, but in the c class I think the response should be more like the car has with the Sprint Booster or more like a BMW. These c class cars should be a little sportier for the driver. I think it should be like the Rolls and the Bentley, one is to be driven in, and the other is to drive. The c class is to drive. And should be engineered for that purpose.
