Hahaha. Absolutely love it.

Thank you

C300. M264 engine I believe.

I've had to say goodbye to my trusty late 2012 C180 (Gretchen) recently. She served me very well. I bought her in 2018 with about 52,000 miles on the clock and put on 56,000 miles (give or take) in 4.5 years of ownership. It wasn't the best specced version of the W204, but other than that, it...

You're probably right about that. I agree, I've used it on a loan car and made up my mind to have it on my next car. I guess I'll just keep being patient.

So I ordered a W206 C Class in February ( C300 premium plus + DAP). I am yet to even get a build date, which I gather is kinda the norm these days. What I do find weird is I feel I am being discouraged by the dealer, to get a car with the driver's assistance package. When I ordered the car, the...

Yeah. It's a lovely car and the premium does come with a decent amount of kit. Unfortunately, at least for now, the driver's assistance package can only be gotten with the premium plus. Likely due to the chip shortage.

Modern fingerprint scanners won't respond to a chopped off finger especially if capacitive.

Even the most basic phones come with fast fingerprint scanners. Would it be so hard to integrate a fingerprint reader into the start button. Two factor authentication, the key must be detected and the fingerprint match, with a pin entry fallback if you want to borrow someone your car.

Bland? I used to own a W212 E300 (Petrol) before I moved the UK. In terms of looks, bland is the last thing I would call it, like are we talking about the same car? In terms of driving, yeah it wasn't the sportiest thing around, but it was designed to be refined and it did that job very very...

Not all cars make a sound when BSA is active, and that does not change the fact that it's one of the few useful modern features. It could be argued that BSA is an evolution of the humble rearview mirror but now it can tell you there's something there that the mirror can't see. More to the point...

A lot of it is fluff (Things like multicolour ambient lighting, air balance package and lane keeping assist come to mind), but don't agree with some of the earlier points. I used to have a W212 back when I was still in Nigeria and it had a lot more kit than my current car. To me, keyless go is...

I've had the alignment done and it still feels a bit funny occasionally and I'm beginning to wonder, this wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that I have 3 Michelin Primacy HP tires and one Continental Contisport at the front left. Tire mismatch?

I'd feel bad wasting someone's time like that but on second thought this is actually a very good idea

Maybe not too bad, but yeah, apparently the alignment was off, I'll drive it tomorrow and see if it's made a difference

Believe me, seeing as work requires me driving on the motorway everyday, I appreciate that smooth cruiser setup the car has and I don't think the bodyroll is excessive, I was just taken aback by the massive difference between the handling of the two cars. I like how the damping is comfortable...

According to the machine at Kwikfit (Hunter I think) the front wheels were badly misaligned, pulling to the left.

I'm getting the alignment checked as I type this.
