'13 250 Coupe
I had a loaner for a day and a half while my car was getting its 1K checkup. That loaner smelled so damn bad!! It was a 07 c230. Also who ever drove that same loner beat it hard so bad. It wasnt even smooth anymore. Feel sorry for who ever picks that up as a "new" car.

Since it's a loaner, I imagine every person who has ever set foot in that car has driven the living **** out of it. (...and made a mess on the inside)

Depends on the demographics, around my area its nothing but middle aged to old folks. I don't think they would drive it like they stole it. When I got my loaner I wasn't driving like I stole it, gas is expensive

I just had my C32 in for service and got one of those C280 4matics. I have to say the seats were more comfortable (less lateral support but more cushion) and i like the newer LCD (white on black) displays than the amber ones on my C32. Anyway, it was a nice car.
