Dave I love the looks, even the wierd ass has really grown on me. In AMG trim the C is a great looking car IMO. It leaves the chavvy CLA far behind.
What engine are you thinking of- petrol or diesel? Do they even have a 250 diesel available yet? I have driven it in an E class and it was nice, felt powerful enough. Gearbox not as clever as the BM though. Don't think Merc are doing a 6 cyl in this C class though
