Nice! What year is that?

I like the 2012-13 C350 Coupe. I would have bought one if I lived closer to work.

Its a 2012. The 2012+ with the refresh are much nicer cars. (plus they make a lot more power) This is the sedan, but pretty much the same deal.

:thumbsup: I test drove a 2012 C350 Coupe last year. It had 11,000 miles on it and it was pristine. Plenty of power, very stylish, nice polished driving machine. I loved it.

The Mercedes dealer was asking $37k for it. I could afford it but I put too many miles on a car for that to make sense.

when the cars comes equipped with "AMG appearance package", does it include this? I am asking about E-class. I know the wheels and front chin spoilers are included in that package.

Drove my Mom-In-Law's 2010 E350 sedan to dinner last night. Man that's a nice sled. Honestly though I think it is smaller than my Camry hybrid. My son was sitting behind me and he asked me to move the seat up a little so he could have more room.

Also, when you turn the audio system off the stupid backup camera doesn't work. How dumb is that?

Nope, that is the different bumpers, skirts, spoiler, grille, hood ornament and lower suspension. At least on the C.

The C is considered a compact. Not large cars, but at least is has a back seat large enough to realistically fit adults even if long trips aren't really in order.

German cars have a few interesting engineering decisions. OTOH there is a mute button on the wheel that will turn off your audio, but leave the screen on. Still kinda weird. The seat controls on the door panel are interesting too. I installed a rearview camera on mine (oddly its not bundled with nav) but haven't tried turning it off while reversing.

No, I was saying that the E-class sedan feels smaller than my car. I know the C-class is a compact but I thought the E-Class sedan would be more roomy than a Camry but it doesn't seem like it is.

I don't like the seat controls being on the door either. I drove her car some more today. It is nice and quiet and handles and brakes well but the tires are noisy, every little break in the pavement gets transmitted to the cabin.
