No the C-class is smaller and no 3rd row seating sadly, but its perfect for the wife's needs currently, ample space, decent fuel economy and power, and 4matic means I don't have to come drag her car out of snow anymore.
Eventually I may move her up to a later W212 e-class if we need more room....that's years away however.
So far about it I say: well made, very reliable, and it glides down the highway at ANY speed. You can't tell the difference between 65mph and 110mph.
10 years old 136k on it and everything still works fine
