Merc c220d convertible.

Yeah, wierd topic!

Went to france for a week, and haggled an upgrade to the rental car. I ended up with that merc and... didn't like it. Well I mean it's a nice car, but I certainly wouldn't buy it. Plastic bits everywhere 'chromed' plastic keys etc. Also, it's large, the boot is *useless* (worse than the Z3!) and the engine (that was the 4 cylinder) is nowhere as powerful.

Anyway can't complain, but I'm now back in the Z and realizing how lucky I am to have one!

Nothing like the real thing

I would have one, looks miles better than a Z4 cabrio.

It's a double bagger, in my view

How disappointing I think it's a stunning car to look at

Horses for courses mate.....

Not a MB fan in general, to me they look more like a car that you sit on as apposed to sit in. Other than the more modern SLK I prefer the 190 era. Drove a C220 recently, nice drive but wouldn't buy one with my own money. As said, horses for courses

Spot on AMcD, had one of those, could not bond with it like my old 230CE, left it for the then wife to drive.
Give me a Z3 or an old Jeep any day.

Looks a bit gay as well.

I had a 55 reg CLK350 softtop that went like the clappers. 7 speed auto and a genuine 4 seater but sadly only averaged 19mpg and much less towing the tin tent but got plenty of double takes towing with the roof down.
