Thanks.

Better than the C350, C320 CDI!!!

Our insurance man just told me that he ordered a black on black C320 CDI Avantgarde. He even promised me that I could TESTDRIVE it.

Yeah, AC MILAN pissed me off. Stupid Inzaghi. Bayern started so well...

How is the steering? The W203(pre-fl) lacks any form of feedback. Have there been major improvement in that area?

Thanks for the comprehensive review. I was wondering, do you have any close-up pictures of the interior? I really want to see how the plastics look like.

I do, but finding a job is hard. Right now I am working for my town as a translator. They're even paying me. It's a start.

Here you go. Like I said, not class leading, but the materials are good and the interior looks and feel well-built.

Immense improvement!

At low to mid speeds, the steering feels heavily and very direct. At higher speeds, it's a little lighter but still direct. Feedback is always there, you always feel the front wheels and know what they're up to.

The W203? No comparison!

Thanks dude!

A translator's a really difficult job to do, I'm impressed that you're multilingual, being fluent in both German and English (both very different languages IMO)... Hey, maybe you can translate press releases and articles for Mercedes!

Yesterday I saw my first W204. It was passing me by. Looked awesome, like a bigger sedan.

Anytime.

DCX already has their folks, but I am not stopping trying to get into the car industry. BMW AG actually called my house a few days ago and wanted to ask me a question regarding a CV I had sent in. They said they'll get back to me. It's been two weeks, but these things take time.

If I work for BMW, I'll have to act like a BMW fanboy.

"My God, a car that isn't a BMW is crap No 50/50 weight balance, no RWD, no magic feel and no Hoffmeister kink!"

In real life, they look really nice. I dig the Avantgarde and Elegance trims a lot. Classic just looks plain...
