06-C230--Very disappointed

Hi All

The wife is hinting about a new car.She as been driving the 94E320 for 10years. So we went to test drive a C230. Now I am no fan of the C-class
but it looked good from the outside.Inside nothing exciting.
The driver seat needed to be pushed up by the handle under the seat.
This is fine in my 85SL but the wife wants things easy/like me?
Anyway we hated the car. Maybe we are just spoiled from owning E class models. The asking price on the C is only 34k.
I'll try to talk her into keeping the car another year. It only has 100k on the clock. Plenty of life left in her.Thanks.
Happy driving.

I don't like the C-class that much either. I'm used to the luxury of my 1983 300SD

You hated the car because it had manual seat adjustments?
Thats why it is only 34K instead of the 50+k your E320 was new.

The 06 C230 is a fun little car with a 201hp v-6 and a 6spd stick
or 7spd auto. It is the entry level sport model.

Try the C350 which has wood trim and power everything.
It should be closer to your car comfort wise.

Think the dealer is expensive? Do you know how much it costs to train a dealer tech? Or buy the required MB special tools to have on hand?
