Welcome, I just joined because I am thinking about the exact car you just bought. Is yours the Sport model?
What cars did you drive before and how do they compare to your current ride?
The 3 spoke steering wheel is the telltale sign of the sport line?

Yes, it is the sport model. My other cars don’t compare because they are mini vans and a Suburban. Loved them also though. LOL.

The 3 spoke steering wheel and the AMG rims normally (not always) means that the car has the AMG package (not the AMG engine!!). The sport also normally has a different grill in the front (the 3 spoke star). The sport sits a little lower to the ground (I think) and rides sportier than the luxury model. You should drive both before you purchase to see which one you like. I did not drive the luxury model before I purchased. Once I realized how non-luxurious of a suspension my car had, I then realized that maybe I should have driven a luxury model to feel the difference. The handling is amazing on my car with my Michelin high performance tires. I am happy with my purchase though.

Thanks for the info on the difference between the models. My attempt to drive a w204 today failed. Local dealer has nothing!
I ll keep checking in on this thread, I am not in a hurry, and would love to drive one before long.
