While the turbo power is good, NA is better with raw power and long run. You are not going to like it when the turbo blows. The only reason I looked for a 2012 was because the iPod/USB/AUX cable was moved to the center console from the glove box.

I like the 2012-2013's because of not only the turbo's, but the direct injection too. I do agree that a turbo going bad on a Benz probably would cost some Serious coin!
We plan on keeping the car for the long haul and over the life of the car, that extra couple of mpg over the 2010-2011 might pay for itself. Granted the car is going to cost a bit more, but it's also got more warranty too.
The biggest problem for me is finding the right car, as I'm pretty specific with what I want and the mileage on it.
