Summary
What does this car say about you?
this car is discreet I think, especially where I live. Not too eccentric but shows I have worked hard to get this car??
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They like it - Take the mick a bit about it being a posh Merc, but that comes with the badge! I was called worse when I had my BMW's!
Would you buy this car again and why?
Not really, this is one of the last generations. The new C Class looks great on the outside but hate the interior so will keep this for a while and decide what to do next
What are you likely to buy next?
At the moment with fuel prices, looking at Lexus or Audi next time, petrol.
