Well, I certainly enjoy my car ( see sign. ).
Yes, it get's 30 mpg quite easily on a highway run ( cruising at 70 - 75 mpg ).
Short trips normally average about 25 mpg.
You gotta love that C 230 K, power on demand & great mileage.
From what I have seen here, the transmission glitches were sorted out by 1999, or 2000.
Backseat space is acceptable.
Trunk space could be a little more.
Build quality is fantastic in my humble opinion.
Replacement parts cost, brakes, windshield wipers, oilfilters, etc. average about 30 % LESS than what I used to pay for my Volkswagen Jetta.
Go figure.
In short, I would highly recommend this car to anybody.
