Sometimes, the practicality and kid factor has to take priority to what I really want and I think this is one of those times. The alternative for coupe looks is A5 sport back or 4 series GT but then they aren’t a patch on MB imo.

Is there any more space in the rear seats in a c estate to a c saloon or us it literally the boot where the difference is?

Is this canvansite blue or brilliant blue? Whichever it is, it looks really cool but I always struggle to tell the difference in natural light photos. Cheers.

Just to clarify I already have a C250 saloon and I’d always like to get something different to what I have already. I like the whole new car feeling so getting another C class saloon is a last resort for me. The coupe novelty is definitely going to wear off quickly with sound of it and the...

That’s a nice looking motor. I keep swaying towards that colour but the Mrs doesn’t like it. I’d have that with the night pack to be honest! If the coupe doesn’t happen!

I definitely don’t think I’m ready to go the estate route. My Mrs drives a Captur which is actually more practical than my current saloon so we do have a back up option if I went down the Coupe route. I just don’t want to regret it as my next company car has to be on a 4 year contract and it...

Ok so even though I have 12 months to go before I change my c250 saloon I’m starting to think about my next car. I really want a c coupe? But in 12 months time my kids will be 4 & 7. It isn’t the most practical decision, but I’d be keen to hear from anyone has lived with a coupe and young...

Well my car is in with the dealership today. A quick test drive with the mechanic and he didn't feel the gear box was untoward although I have to admit it seemed fine to be too. I've been given a GLA 220D auto as a courtesy car. Different car I know but the engine and gear box seems far more...

We have no dog, and wouldn't leave the kids in the car to be honest. It would only auto lock if you had the key with you, in which case you'd want the car to lock. Haven't tried it but I imagine the car would unlock from the inside anyway, apart from where the childlocks are on.

Thanks for the replies from everyone. It certainly doesn't sound like my gearbox is behaving as it should do, so hopefully it's a simple fix with a software update or similar. As for the auto lock feature being non-existent on Merc, that amazes me when the wife's 63 plate Renault Captur has...

Thanks for the response much appreciated. I've just got it booked in at my local dealer for a week on Monday. I could live with the small glitches as they inconvenience of taking it down is a bigger issue than sorting a bulb but the gear box is more of concern and just doesn't feel right. I'll...

OK my W205 is coming up 9 months old has developed a couple of small faults and one that I am not sure is a fault or something you just have to live with an auto box. 1. Door LED blown - worthy of a trip to the dealer under warranty I guess? 2. Hit and miss with the 'touch to open/lock'...

I don't think I'd get her to do a repeat performance for the camera to be honest! Anyway I've spent the best part of 5 minutes kicking under the rear bumper and I reckon I'm getting a 20% success rate at best! Kicking around like a flailing idiot. Just cannot not suss it all and starting to...

I've tried all forms of kicking up to the point of looking like a moron and putting bags and/or child on the floor to open it the old fashioned way! Even the mother in law gave it a go at the weekend and sliced her toe open as she scraped the underside of the bumper. Needless to say she...

Is there any better sound than a C63.... Only one I can think of is a C63 on my driveway would sound even better!

May sound a bit of a dumb question, but is there a knack to the hands free boot opening/closing on a C Class (W205). I know you're meant to make a kicking motion under the rear bumper, but is there a sensor somewhere that I need to be swiping over? It just seems so temperamental, sometimes it...

Cheers everyone, I wasn't sure what I was looking for size wise (I.e. What was behind the silver round cap) but found it tucked away at the back of the centre console compartment. All sorted now! Loving the car and already have given it a clean after having it 6 hours! Haha

Sorry if this is posted elsewhere but I can't see anything. Finally took delivery of my C250 saloon and I've only drove it from the road to the car park and absolutely love it. Having the premium pack I was looking forward to keyless entry/go but I was gutted to find that that the...

I'm also wondering if the C200 'L' in the UK could be some sort of 'lease edition' rather than mean long wheel base? There's no sign of a RHD long wheelbase C class ever being produced for the UK market so starting to think that the L stands for something else! Although I convinced myself it...

Sorry just the last post from 20th. I'll snap a couple of pics tonight if I get chance, before the car goes back to the lease company on Friday - finally my car is being delivered on Friday!
