Yeah I felt like I got into a Bentley when getting back into my car after driving the C for a couple of weeks.
They're saying they wouldn't replace the window motors? I dunno but I would be PISSED if I didn't get something that simple replaced since I spent so much money on a CPO car with the year extension on top of it.
Maybe M-B is getting a lot tighter with Warranty work as they're in a big financial bind right now, but I personally don't think any out of pocket expense should be payed on a CPO car period for any defects that aren't considered "wear and tear", maybe someone who's really knowlegable on the subject can chime in....

Ya, I miss the 350 engine already. That thing was just so nice and deep and powerful too. That's the ONLY thing I miss from that car. Well also that nice little control knob, way better than the ones in BMW's that I've used.

I definitely like the 350 engine, being that I'm not mashing it everywhere, it has more than enough power for me day to day, feels refined, and feels and sounds wild enough when pushed hard. One thing that bores me is underpowered (at least under Torque'd) cars, but I think the 350 is just right, definitely not underpowered, but obviously not a monster by any means.
I missed that knob too, I kept going for it when back in my car. That would have been nice had the 211 had it. But at least we get the MUCH nicer and classier screen display than that low-fi, boring Radio unit in the C and the stick-up screen display.
