Salut tintin,
1. Many on this forum love the 200 Turbo and the extra umph it has, whereas Mike and myself(and others) are very satisfied with the non-turbo 200.
3. The standard sound system from 05 is a quality system with very, very crappy rear speakers that
must be changed out to enjoy the true depth in the 100 watt Alpine radio. The Hamon-Kardon system is an expensive option that will greatly improve the sound.
4. You have to pay MB houly rates whether you're in an S class or the B class. So far it has not been excessive.
Early B's have had some recalls that the later posters haven't complained about.
5. I've been lucky with the snow issue on the windshield but heavy snow must be manually cleared off if traveling for an extended period in very heavy snow. The A pillar design gives great strength but some snow will collect unfortunately.
Overall a great car that's so solid and fun to drive, and very economical to drive.
Cheers, Derek
