First off I suppose is what country? followed by what budget?

Different countries have different specifications, with different models.

Bye for now,

John

The link to the UK Mercedes-Benz website is: http://www.mercedesbenz.co.uk/pc/index.html

From there go the 'Showroom'
Then select whatever vehicle you want ie 'C' class or 'E' class.

I would recommend the Avantgarde option because it offers more of the options that 'most' people prefer. I believe both 'Oslo' and 'Fastbuck' have this model.

I did not want the firmer suspension that comes as standard with the Avantgarde, so elected for the no cost 'comfort suspension'

Regarding the engine option, I believe 'Oslo' has the compressor. Unfortunately I do not know if he has an automatic or manual.

I have only owned diesel Mercedes-Benz so cannot offer any advice, but would point out that the modern diesels are absolutely NOTHING like older Mercedes-Benz diesels. They are just as fast as the petrol equivalent more economical, very quiet and in some cases cheaper to buy.

If I can be of any further use, please do not hesitate to ask.

Good luck with your choice (and selection of colour)

Regards,
John
