... because after nearly a year of self-imposed non-Merc driving, I am picking up a W203 C320CDI Avantgarde SE estate next week.
The test drive sold me.
So smooth, refined, comfortable. And quick! The direct control handling is noticeably sharper than what I remember from my old C270.
Nice spec, too: Comand, Parktronic, Xenons, (not sure about the Linguatronic, though). Alpaca grey leather inside a shiny grey body. Delete rear badging and standard 17" 5-spokes alloys means that it's a bit of a Q-car.
Looking forward to getting behind the star again. The day after collection, it's off to Europe for a week - a baptism by autobahn
