The Autoweek tv show on Speed Channel had a favorable review tonight. Their only complaints were that when manually shifting, the shifts were too slow, and that it could use a little more power. The test car had the Sport package.

Congratulations on the new car.

Thumbs up Good Choice!

Half the fun of the wagon is discovering all the nice features MB has included in the car.

There is a very slight lag on take off. But the car is not hardly slow. Roll on 45mph to about 100mph against a convertible TT (225 hp) - we were basically even. He was able to pull ahead slightly before we shut em down. Those who know, that car comes only with a manual tranny - and is turbo charged, with all wheel drive. The 225hp TT can be identified by the twin exhuasts and a different wheel design. I think if I had of caught him off boost, he would not have been able to catch me. I've embarrassed a few folks, it's funny because they don't expect the wagon to accelerate as fast it does.

Cool Sleeper

A Q-ship in wagon clothing. Knowing whats on tap particulary at rolling speed it takes some driver restraint not to revert to age 17.

Yes your right restraint is key. However, in South Florida having the ability to accelerate swiftly is not an option, as drivers here can be quite nasty. It's much like Southern California or the Bay Area (<Born and raised). Although, I have to be honest, when the opportunity presents itself i.e. a long stretch of higway that's clear.....the throttle gets tipped. :p

A better Q-car is the C32 AMG station wagon, available in Europe. Debadge it, put some more "normal" AMG wheels on it and watch junior in his Honda Type R become smaller in the mirror

Click on the button to the right of the text-field wich is on the same row as the Attach file: label. This will open a file-chooser and let you choose a file from your HD. Notice that the valid file extensions are only .gif .jpg .bmp and .jpeg

If you would like to link a picture form another web-site, type the link to the picture in beteween [img] and its corresponding end tag. Good luck!

Tips

Just the bolt on Schatz tips-no muffler mods. Just don't like the stock down spout look.

C320 Wagon - Black C2 - v60 Phone and CD-Changer
If your garage door opener uses a rolling code, there should be a learn button on the opener (on some openers the light button on the control panel, the one wired to the opener doubles as the learn button). After you program the homelink transmitter, press the learn buton on the opener and then the programmed homelink button.....oh, and the key needs to be in the ignition to position 1 or higher. The directions I pulled off of hoelink.com was misleading as they said you had to press the outside two buttons to get to program mode and then you program the button. All you have to do is hold down the homelink button and the button on your stock transmitter near the rear view mirror.

Congrat's on the new wagon....I was just about to take some picks of mine (black with ash interior) when I had an incident at the local grocery store parking lot and a youn ladys full grocery cart. Calling dr dentz.

Holding down the outside buttons is used to clear any old settings in the memory.
