What I would give to drive the new Audi A3 hatch here, the new Hyundai i30 or C-Class estate.

I've been driving my W206 (200 4matic) since January 2022 - i did'nt go completely overboard with extras, and i've been extremely happy with everyday commutes and weekend trips. My only 'negative' would be the touch-volume controls. Having driven the W213 (E-Class) beforehand, i do miss a more haptical volume-"cylinder"-control) ;-)

First time seeing you review, very impressed. Agree re "shonky" button bar. The touch points in ANY car are the bits we relate to, the areas we come into physical contact with, dozens of times a day/week. This is what we feel we are paying extra for, over and above volume cars...Mercedes are along with Audi and BMW, volume car OEM's, whether they recognise it or not. What would it cost to make these buttons individual, rather than on one elongated bar?. Twenty/thirty/fifty pounds per car?. I'd be happy to pay that to get the premium experience this now lacks. Now I'm interested to find out where else they have cut corners quality wise.

I've always had a soft-spot for Mercedes, especially their 'smaller' models - I even loved how brilliantly clever and well-packaged the original A-Class was... ride quality aside...! Anyhow, yes - this C-Class looks fabulous and I'm glad they've kept with the focus on comfort, rather than trying to be an "ultimate driving machine"... Suits their style better, plus the dreadful state of the UK road network. Great work...
