W205 220 CDI - Manual Gearbox

[k187]

I heard the manual in the w204 was a bit of a horror show but I believe the all new manual has been improved. Was hoping someone could confirm this but everyone has the auto. Lol.

I'm just worried that mercedes have not spent time making the manual box good as they know they will hardly shift any!

My company do pick up the lease and I pay the Bik rate. They are limiting me at 520 per month, including maintenance and mileage and as I want the amg line I have little space to manoeuvre with any extras.

Thanks guys!

Hmm how much mileage do you need? That's seems achievable to me. I'm paying about £480 for a c220 with heads up, drivers assistance pack, 19inch alloys, heads up and privacy glass direct from mercedes. No maintenance package and 10,000 miles though. Third party leases are a even less.

Sweet! Options wise I'll be going for the Prem Plus Pack, metallic paint, and possibly the Privacy Pack.
