ncmudbug you can have you lights on all the time it is a setting in the IC headlights constant. I have my bix on all the time love it
As for what I like about my car ...
EVERYTHING
I cant really think of anything I don't like
I love my exterior color and interior color
I love my new wheels
I love my nav 2.0 that does not do nav but is my aux in lol
I love my reliability as most of you know I have what seems to be the only reliable 01 on this planet.
165,600 miles when i parked tonight with basic maintenance. The only issues is my AC blew freon out but it still works so i am going with it.
I love the look
I love the options (rear shade,nav, bix, heated seats and headlight cleaners, cd changer, rain sensor, charcoal filters (rare in the w203 only was around for 01-03), Bose stereo and so on.
Honestly the only thing I don't like is my bumper misaligned and bent radiator from my little accident a few years back that was never fixed right and my cracked fog light
I plan to keep my w203 forever and just buy another car to drive daily and keep the w203 for people hauling.
Hell I have even thought about buying either an 05 c320 sport 6 speed (Very Very Rare) or a c55 as my next car.

3.I love the 4matic system
2. The Safety and Security features
1. The prestige that comes with any Mercedes. instant luxury and class seconded with performance. I hope to drive this thing until the wheels fall off...then replace them and do it again.

5. It's a Benz.
4. The mechanicals are bulletproof.
3. Autobahn engineering.
2. MB always leads and never follows.
1. It's paid for.
The only other coupe I would consider is top of the line New VW Scirocco or the BMW 1M coupe.

I have owned many MB's and my 2006 C350 is the most satisfying. It makes me smile every time I take it out. I have a 2012 E350, that is a fine luxury car, but I still prefer driving my C350.

As a 1st car, i like basically everything. Initially I wasn't too fond of it, but I later how advanced it was for its time... I've driven 7 other cars, all 2009+, and this car feels the best, has the best vision to all 4 sides, felt the safest of the cars, and has a pretty great sound system(it isn't even BOSE).
The only real downsides I can even think of is it isn't the 1st-choice car for 4 mile trips to and from school if your looking for MPG(I average 16 constistently, but on a 8 mile trip I got 21.5). The only other thing I can think of is it doesn't have a rear window washer(
jk) and the interior squeaks... but for 11 years old? psh, it would probably do that in a Bentley.
My family has owned the car for 9 years, and haven't had a single mechanical problem. It's had some bodywork(none of it my or my parents' fault), but everytime I say that, I go to the car and knock on the wood trim.
As for exterior views of the car itself, I think it looks good from just about any angle. Except dead on the back. it just looks so...womanized....from the back. It might just be the taillights. But there's something that just throws it off for me.

I love everything about my car. Its my second car (1st was a hooked up 1994 Accord lol) and it has gave me a couple problems but I still love it.
-The driving experience. I feel like its my first time driving it everytime I get behind the wheel.
-The way it sounds.
-The sunshade.
-The curves.
-The fog lights.
-The auto-on lights. I love when its dusk outside and I press the unlock button and it comes alive.
Just a great car. I have grown to love it. I use to want to trade it in. I doubt that I ever will. Cheaper to keep her and she's worth it.
