09 Plate W204, C280 + Brabus exhaust. 10 yrs+ NCD, £330 XS, 61YO Fully Comp £330 Previous insurers bumped up renewal by £250. Shopping around got it down to £10 less than last year. Be wary of some of the cheap insurers though. Look closely at the repair conditions. Some limit repairs to...

Almost 32 MPG from the C350 seems really good. Almost went for a C350 Elegance ... maybe I should have done so. I don't know if it is to MPG detriment but mine came with a Brabus dual twin port exhaust fitted. Dealer confirmed engine not chipped, but maybe the C350 engine better suited to the...
