Nice review man.

I testdrove the C220 CDI too, but I didn't at all like the 5-speed auto tranny. The manual up and down shifting is totally non responsive and quite a joke. But I guess that's from a BMW owners point of view. The suspension was a tad bit soft too. For the rest, it's a very good car. Speed was a bit slow for such a big heavy car, and the engine sound was there all the time, being a diesel (I still hate the sound of a diesel)

I will put a review of the C280 Avantgarde very soon in the review section. That car was ten times more fun to drive as the C220 CDI
