I see a lot of girls driving a W204.

So I got a C350 to complement my M3 as an everyday driver. But I can't help to notice that the majority of people I see driving the new C class are women in the NY metro area....is it just me or do you guys see that a lot also...... My car is hooked up to the point you can tell its a guy driving it but still.....

This class of car is always popular among women so it's no surprise. I see a lot of women in the Lexus ES/IS, 328i, A4, etc as well.

Having said that..I tend to see more women than men driving all MBs

Come upstate to Saratoga Springs. Every W204 is driven by a girl/women. One guy at the gym who purchased a W204 for his wife told me the W204 was made for women only. I saw a C63 AMG around one day. Nope not a guy. A teenage girl is driving it. The W203 are mostly guys up here and the W202 are more older people that drive them...... At least thats what I see up here.

Yeah, I see the same thing. I go to a relatively small community college...theres two W204 350's, and four W204 C300's(including me). I'm a guy, and theres another male with a C300. The rest are girls. It doesnt bother me though....doesn't mean its not a good car. Most small luxury cars are looked at as "female" cars.

I am the stereotypical C-Class buyer. A husband who bought his fine wife a Merc to drive to Manhasset Americana Mall.

I'll tell you why I don't find a draw to the C class, A4, BMW 3-series, or Lexus IS. They all compromise too much on looks and performance. They are all too heavy and too lux to be considered sporty for a guy my age (31). I love sports cars, not an entry-level sedan that does it all. My daily drive is a Mazda RX-8. I auto cross her, mod her, and love her looks and unique engine.

If I had to go luxurious, I'd have to have something bigger than a C for all my hydraulic pumps and batteries!

I think they are likely driving leased ML550s, not humble 204s.
