My First Mercedes

Hi all this is my first post. Just picked up my new merc after a 5 month wait from when i orderd it. Definately worth the wait.

2011 C250 CDI
Palladium silver with black leather and black ash trim
AMG sports pack
Reversing camera
Panoramic glass roof
Comfort package
Vision Pack
Lane keeping pack

I went a bit overboard with all the options but i guess when you order a car from new you may aswell have it the way you want it.

Congratulations and welcome...glad you were able to equip the vehicle to suit you. You should ask the dealer ASAP to help you roll it back off its side and onto its tires...easier on the paint!

I feel your pain... I'm trying to get out of my c300 lease and into a c250 coupe. Between the 4 dealers within a 30 minute drive any direction, there are nearly 50 c250 coupes, and only 1 had lighting package... And its red...

The facelift in the states happened for the 2012 model year. It happened in the 2011 model year in the rest of the world.

Can you post some pics of the audio unit / display (since you don't have COMAND)? I am very curious about what it looks like.

Looks a very nice car.

Hows the fuel consumption & performance. ? Do you like the driveability ie engine /gearbox match ?

What tyres are on it. Hows the ride over poor roads ?

Enjoy it !!

It's still early days to coment on fuel consumption as i have only used just over a quarter of a tank of diesel. Im very happy with the driveability although over poor roads the suspension is very stiff and you definately feel the bumps.
