Owned the car for a few days, my initial thoughts

Likes:
- Engine is quiet and smooth
- Hot looking car
- Can hardly hear road noise in the interior cabin
- Good power and torque (compared to what I used to drive)
- Doors closes with a thud, it makes me feel safe

Dislikes:
- The ride is a bit harsh on uneven pavement
- The gas pedal is a bit stiff compared to my old ride (Audi A4)
- The position of the turn signal is a bit low
- Interior is a bit small
- The headlights are on all the time (can i change this?)

Overall, very happy I got the car. My only wish is that I ended up getting COMAND Navigation pack so I can add the ipod integration kit. I guess it's too late now. Don't really feel like paying the stealership a hundreds of dollars for installation.

Congrats on the new ride!
You should be able to go into your center console menu and disable DRLs if you don't like them.

Check your tire pressures regarding the harsh ride.

Regarding headlight, I think you are running daytime running light. You can go to setting menu and disable it.

My car is a Canadian spec. We have to drive with DRL's on all the time. I guess I'm not used to it. My old Audi had halogen DRL's and Xenon headlights.

Very FAST!
Yeah, I wish I had of saved a bit more and got an E class instead of the C300. However, it is much better on gas than the H2 was.

Don't feel too bad about that at all! I have one of each, and we use the E when we need the room, but the C is much more entertaining to drive. In the E, I feel the age I am....in the C, I feel the age I used to be !!
