    C350e anyone considering one?

    Yeah. Didn't do anything, it just worked off the bat...

    Yeah likewise. I tried to set the departure time last night as normal (quite late), and it said the site/app was down for maintenance. This morning, getting the errors above. So must be an issue/hangover from the maintenance I guess! I did receive an email earlier in the year about a BIG...

    Isofix help, please.

    Is it that essential? Properly fitted, a seatbelt strap holds the seats tight as anything. The only requirement (other than the ease) for Isofix I guess might be some of the rear facing seats for older kids.

    C350e anyone considering one?

    I work for a leasing broker, use all the main finance companies- but we choose where the cars are ordered ourselves. Had no such silly lead times. Sure, they're long (and have been since launch), but nothing like a year...

    Finally bought a mercedes

    Yes! Mine did exactly that, started coming off the boot in almost sheets, it was horrendous. It went back to Lex Autolease at the same time I had confirmation it'd be fixed on warranty, so just sent it back a bit "flaky". Such a shame...

    The red is very nice. Had a C Coupe in that colour a few years back, loved it. All shiny and clean it turned heads.

    That's nuts. Unless that fit with my renewal dates, I'd be looking elsewhere, best part of a year is outrageous!

    C Class Airmatic - is it worth it?

    Bit different to those comments above as I've got a C350e so it was mandatory and a bit heavier- but I like it, and the difference between settings is very apparent. For gentle cruising comfort is nice and soft (considerably more comfortable than the 3 Series M Sport I had before). In...

    C350e anyone considering one?

    There was an article in one of the industry publications from one of the very senior MBUK individuals- who was crying out for more UK allocation for the C350e, as the demand has been so high. Simply put, the UK allocation isn't/hasn't been enough to cope with the demand. Remains to be seen what...

    C350e anyone considering one?

    Having come from a BMW 3 Series- although it doesn't look loads different, in terms of usable space I do "feel" the difference. Once the pushchair is in and whatever else, it feels a lot tighter. I don't think the boot is as wide either. Got another child on the way so guess I'll be getting a...

    Never tried to turn it off because I think it's a brilliant feature especially on unfamiliar roads, but if you want to disable it- it's called speed limit assist so have a look for a setting for that.

    Any C350e Pics

    I've posted some as well, search some of my posts and you'll find it buried somewhere on one of the other threads!

    No issues for me, mine's not with Lex... I work for an intermediary and we have Lex as a funder, hence receiving the communication.

    Lex sent a communication recently reaffirming their position. Guess they've been receiving lots of requests and complaints about not enabling it all.

    C350e anyone considering one?

    I agree with the above. Far prefer the power delivery through the revs with this car over diesel. Plus with the boost from electric, there's lots of torque on offer from low revs, arguably the big plus of a diesel. Best of both worlds! I had a 320d F31, the C is much more comfortable and...
