General Comments

On first entering the Mercedes Benz C Class C180 , which Ive purchased, I was surprised that there was no column adjustment, that aside, power is smooth if not a little sluggish and braking is progressive and safe. The ride has a feeling of real presence on the road and gives a feeling of mile guzzling, my wife did not want to leave it the other evening and took the long way home. The power band appears to be around 4000 revs and when you select the w mode on the autobox it really is reluctant to let the top gear go. Cruise control on my elegance model is useful if not a little disturbing on country hilly roads and the rear headrest down switch seems a little pointless.
All-in-all this is a mercedes and deserves the badge the build quality and finishes are good and I would regard it as a desirable car if like me the ubiquitous BMW's is not a life style for you.
