We have a 2000 C230K Sport and love it. We only have 25K on it at this time but have not experienced any problems beyond a failed gas gage. It gets 23-26 around town and 33 on the highway. My wife has dubbed it the Silver Bullet and drives it accordingly. It's Automatic with the touch shift and is extreamly fun to drive. We only got 16K mi out of the original tires but that may be due to a little spirited driving. We have an older (88) 300E that has been very reliable and solid but not as fun as the C. I highly recommend it.
