2020 C43
I prefer smaller and lighter cars so I went with a 2020 C43. That said, the inline six in the E53 was very tempting. Drive both and buy the one that makes you smile.

At some point e43 would suit me more. I had C, now I have E and amount if leg room it is just what I need. Also if it was just for me C43 would be fine but I have family and it will be my daily car (work, family/holiday trip)
I guess all maintenance cost are the same as apart of body everything else is the same (correct me if I am wrong)

I believe she would prefer the bigger and more luxurious car though? The E-Class? Tell her the C 43 might be a stiff ride, and it might hurt her back (you are not exactly lying...)
