I would definitely have the backup warning and even the front sensor warning. I am also one who likes the blind spot warnings. On braking, there is a level of assist that only warns you and only assist with braking if the car senses you will not stop in time. I have found that useful.
Drive a car with and without the sport suspension. It is a matter of personal taste which you will prefer. I have the sport package on my E350 and wish it was a little softer. However, it is still a very nice ride.
I actually love the ride of my CLK320. Not sure how this would compare the C Coupe regular suspension and C Coupe sport suspension.
For long term use (maybe 10 years), I probably should not choose the airmatic.
My understanding is that they are still using the same suspension setups as in the W203/W209. Any difference in stiffness would be in the shocks and anti-sway bars. Also, i think they have done a much better job with the power steering systems to give it better road feel.
Hard to tell if I want the sport suspension. I like the ride of W209 but not sure if different suspension and sway bars in the C Coupe. Even if I drive the car, it would be hard to tell in a 15-20 minutes test drive.
My wife thinks the rearview mirror is for putting on lipstick. BTW, she has the innate ability to remove any car's rearview mirror with one hand motion as she is trying to angle it toward her for this task.

That tray looks like it could accommodate a full three-course meal, with enough space left over to prop the day's newspaper against the steering wheel.
