You should appreciate W205 for what it offers. by the sound of things it is the wrong car for you. it was never marketed to be the most exciting drive in its segment either. fault is not with the car....

I have the following higher end watches:
- Jaeger LeCoultre - Reverso
- Baume and Mercier Capeland Flyback
- Grand Seiko SBGR083 (not your mall Seiko that's for sure)
- Muhle Glashutte 29er Big
- JeanRichard Aquascope
- UTS 1000m V2 (I wrote an article about this one, which was published in a national magazine last summer. If anyone wants a link, let me know)
- Ebel 1911 BTR Cal137
Either the Cartier Calibre Steel Chronograph or the Tag Heuer Carrera Flyback chronograph will be my first automatic.

Very nice collection indeed. My wife has a newer Cartier Tank, her Father's watch...a 1962 Longines 10K gold Mystery dial, and a couple of Movados. I have that Vacheron & Constantin/LeCoultre 14K & diamond Mystery dial, three Movados (the nicest being a newer Series 800), and gifts watches from work...a Tiffany & Co. S.S. Portfolio (never worn), and a Citizens Eco World that I just gave to my son (never worn).
Either the Cartier Calibre Steel Chronograph or the Tag Heuer Carrera Flyback chronograph will be my first automatic.

I just took delivery of my second W205 and couldn't be happier! My first one was a 2015 Iridium/Black MB Tex sport pkg car and although I was super excited to get the car, once it arrived I never warmed up to it so I sold it after about six months.
One day I found myself chatting on the phone with my salesman about what I wish I would've done the first time around (color change and Airmatic suspension were the top of the list), he took notes and a few weeks later he gave me an ETA on when "my" car would arrive! I was surprised for a few reasons...he never asked me for a deposit (they required a $2,500 deposit the first time) and the combo I wanted was not a combo a dealer would typically order for inventory (Lunar Blue/Cranberry)
Since my first experience didn't go as well as I had hoped I had already begun shopping for a other cars, mainly a 328i xdrive wagon in Estoril Blue to match my M3 but I sat tight until the Benz showed up. I've been super busy all summer so the car sat on their lot for about 10 days before I finally got a chance to see it (also gave me a leg up on negotiations
)
I went over and snapped a few pics to show my wife, she really disliked the color combo (negotiations with her were more difficult than at the dealer!) but a few days later I took delivery of the car and I'm super, super happy with my decision!
