Seriously, it sounds like they really improved the manners with it (and the 5 speed is not at all bad). Every once in a while I feel like the car is in between gears or the downshift is too harsh for what I'm looking for. Add a slight improvement in gas mileage and I start thinking trade in.
Not complaining though....I drive my wife's Saab 95 and before I make it out to the end of the street I wish I was in the Benz, although I do like her gas bill better.
