c350e (ordered)
Fantastic, love the colour (It's what I ordered too!)
Love the wheels to, but I stuck with 17s to keep the BIK low.
Be VERY interested to hear your mpg stories.
My commute is 12 Miles to work and I can charge at work, so that should work well for normal days, but interested to hear the real world petrol or petrol/hybrid typical drives.... Am I too optimistic to expect 40-45 mpg?

That Brilliant Blue is a stunning color. We don't have the option here unfortunately, but I wish we did. All photos I've seen so far look amazing.

Give us real world figures of fuel consumption in the different driving modes once you get your car.
Would love to know how those figures are compared to the normal C200.

Thanks for sharing your enthousiasm.
I am from the Netherlands.
The order was placed 2nd week of februari.
The 19" are not from factory. They ordered them seperately and mounted them because they knew i was coming to have look.
Downside: is says on the back: C350 _____ plug in hybrid.
Law says it cannot be removed (by dealer that is). So i have to do it myself.
The salesman told me it is going to change later this year in C350e, which is much better.
Tomorrow is the day! I'll post some pics, and as soon as i have some realistic MPG (we don't have gallons nor miles in the Netherlands) i'll let you know.

Picked up my C350e yesterday!
I love this car.
I come from a Audi A4 Avant MY 2013. The difference is big, mainly because the A4 is an outdated model.
First impressions: airmatic is sublime.
Also i really love the Burmester! In the Audi i had the B&O which was already great. I briefly saw a discussion about wich one would be better. I prefer the burmester.
I got a lot of positive reactions on the car. I think mainly because of the color.
360 camera is a must have.
HUD not so much. I like it, but could live without it.
Distronic: very good. Keyless entry: very good. Works great, also the 'kick-to-open-boot' works every time (as long as you don't wave your foot, you must move towards bumper).
Ofcourse old news, what this is about, is the hybrid system:
it's like you've read. Mainly very positive. It's great to drive pure on electric power. The smoothness, the silence. And ofcourse combined: the power!
The system is very well made. Super smooth. You mostly don't realize if the combustion engine is on.
About MPG's: so far i made a typical drive of about 40km with a full battery.
It was about 70 MPG (converted from 4 L/100km).
Electric drive is about 25km.
When the battery is less then 25% it is harder to keep driving on electric mode. It starts the engine sooner with the same amount of accelleration. This can be annoying because it keeps starting en shutting down. You can overide this by either driving in E-MODE or CHARGE. So it's one or the other.
Overall i'm very happy with the car!

Great feedback, I'll be so happy if I can average 70mpg !
Can you answer one thing, the side photos, is that when it was in comfort or Sport+ mode ? just trying to judge the arch gap and car height.
Car looks fantastic, the Blue in the sun pops
so glad I ordered same colour, but in the Saloon.Does the Saloon have the kick to open boot feature as well ? or only the Estate ?

The photo's were in comfort. I presume, because we haven't driven it yet.
I'll check later this week if its noticable if you put it in sport+.
I don't think the kick-to-open is available on the saloon. You'll have to check in the brochure. It is part of the keyless-go comfort package (in the NL).
Thanks guys for the positive reactions!
