Am about to order a new c class estate but not sure if the standard audio 20 is ok or if I need to upgrade to the burmester at a cost of 1000 euros.....
Reports on the american forums indicate the audio 20 in the 205 is not as good as in the 204. I currently have a glk x204 with the standard audio 20 which is very good. My home set up is top end as I am a music lover and whilst I appreciate the limitations of a car as an environment for good sound I do want something that is of reasonable quality. Surround sound does not excite me.....but good clarity, bass response and lack of colouration is important. So I would welcome the views of new c class owners and those who have taken a specific interest in the sound system when test driving.
I am hoping for an extended test drive before ordering having already had the standard test drive in both an estate and saloon, one on springs the other on airmatic, but the cars handling and feel was the focus and we did not pay much attention to the infotainment system at the time.
