''Does turning up the stereo eliminate some of the noise or it's still present?''

Yes it does.

No, only the rear turn signals are LED (they blink in the shape of the letter C). But you would really have to see those position lights at night, they are really impressive (not like LED) but still - they look amazing.

Oh, as far as LED turn signal goes - you only get them if you order the Xenon lights otherwise you get normal turn signal lights.

Here is a picture displaying the rear lights:

Thanks a lot for the lovely post. On the onset i would like to congraulate on your purchase of Mercedes-Benz New C class which i feel is going to be relevation in the future market.

Please send us more info regarding the same.

Hi PC,

The original W203 (pre-facelift) in Europe wasn't that good of a handler overall, but the steering wasn't that vague to be honest. European-spec Mercedes' tend to have a harder suspension and slightly more direct steering feel due to our road conditions (twisty etc.). Despite this, it was not what I would call a sports sedan.

The facelifted W203 took care of these issues and matured into a wonderful premium car with good handling and sporting abilities while at the same time maintaining an impressive comfort level.

The W204 takes this to a whole new level. The comfort improvements strike you immediately starting with the relatively quiet cabin and suspension. The steering is very direct in my experience because of the Parameterlenkung (a device which changes the response of the steering wheel depending on speed). The facelifted W203 had a very direct steering response, but it wasn't even close to that of the W204. With the W204, you really feel the improvement in technology.

I'll be going for another W204 C-Class testdrive soon. The dealership has a Classic C200 Kompressor or C220 CDI in black with a 6-speed manual. I want to try that thing.

Yep, the EU is putting their nose into things they don't understand.

On the bright side, reari side vision from those large mirrors is very good. You almost get the feeling that you're riding in a W124 or W201!

hey mate, i want to know how is the quality of the air con rotatory nobs. Is it made out of metal or plastic, does it feel solid when you use it? The ones i have in our E-class feels like a toy, i hope MB has fixed this quality issue in their new cars.

Your C class looks awesome in those pictures.

Thanks for the review, and enjoy your new car!

I think they are made out of plastic but they have like a chainsaw fell to it - the whole round circle that you tuch is made out of little jagged edges, that resemble to shark teeth and they give you a really robust felling when you turn them. The same design can be found on the radio ON/OFF knob and on the Multifunction knob for command system.
