Anyone "upgraded" from 02 SC to 05 SC?

Hello everyone,

I have stopped posting a long time ago as I was very satisfied with my 2002 SC and because I had some other more pressing things going on.
So, recently I started browsing MBWorld again and I have seen posts about MB not coming with a 2006 SC?
Because of that I am considering getting the 2005 C320 SC and I was wondering if anybody here did this particular upgrade? Yes, Amdeutsch, I did STFF and could not find a comparison between the 2002 C230K SC and the new 2005 C320 SC. I did find however a nice first report from someone who bought a 2005 C230K SC.
I am interested in what the big differences are (I am not talking about the most obvious ones like new instrument cluster etc.), how is the mpg rate of the C320, engine sound and "feel".
I am not at all interested in a 2005 C230K SC, but maybe a CLK320 if too many people here believe the C320 SC is nothing special.... And no thanks, I don't want to be converted to a SS ...

Thanks in advance

i havent considered the 05 coupe at all. personally, i dont like the fact they dont have passenger power seat option and citron green is no longer an option. plus with all the little quirks ive read about the H/K system, the interior upgrade doesnt impress me enough to move from my 2003 to a 2005. all the exterior improvements with the exception of the front bumper ive already done on my car.

Save your money and upgrade to a CLK when you can.
