Can you take more pics of the center console? (5-inch display,etc.)

 

[asianml]

The C has a lovely rear profile. How does the interior quality feel?

 

[Tomek]

Color is :CubanSilver

Interior quality is better like w203 more room in back of the car! now can tall guys seat back normaly in front seats its you can seat super you can see the road perfectly! But the Price of C class(Avantgarde) its almost like E klasse(E 280) diference E klasse is only 1000eur more cost! But if you have C class with full option its price like E350. Speedtronic is not serial now..only if you buy automatic you get it. but with manual tansmition you must buy it!

Im happy with my C klass!

How is the Intelligent Light System? Is it worth the extra money?

 

[renhelm]

as seen in Europe

C-Class has huge mirrors....like Sprinter...I buy one anyway

 

[Tomek]

The 4 cylinder engine suprised me! Good exceleration with manual(8.3s-100kmh) Automatic (7.9/8s-100kmh) Top speed 238Kmh (enought to kill yourself) (Tested with Test car C220CDI Avantgarde) The avantgarde has a sport sound so it sound like 6cylinder. I haved 32OCDI 04 (Sold).. And i can say this 4 cylinder egine is ... Fantastic

If you vana race buy C280 (231HP) or 350(272HP) ....

Yes its worth the extra money!! i had xenon on previos C but this kick ass!!

 

[SirOracle]

Also, as I understood you have sport suspension. Is it comfortable enoubh for a familiy car driven around town (I don't know how are the roads in Slovenia but here in Macedonia they are not in the top shape most of the time). What do you tink about Advanced Agility package with selctable suspension modes?

[BigKutta]

sweet ride!! what is intelligent Light System?

Intelligent Light System:

Developed by the lighting specialists at Hella, adaptive headlamps adjust to different driving and weather situations and thereby offer significant improvements for driving safety.

The Intelligent Light System, which is available as an option for the sedan and the T-model, is based on the powerful Bi-Xenon headlamps and includes five different lighting functions – country, motorway, active bend lighting, fog and cornering.

The new country light illuminates the left-hand edge of the road brighter and over a greater range than the previous low beam. Here, the visual range of the driver is extended by around ten meters; he or she can therefore recognize other road-users or obstacles earlier in the dark.

In the case of motorway light, this switches on automatically from a speed of 55 mph and a uniform light cone is produced which stretches up to 120 meters and which illuminates the entire width of the road. In the center of this light cone, the driver can see around 50 meters further than previously possible. Thanks to the extended fog light, which is also part of the new Intelligent Light System, Mercedes-Benz has improved orientation in fog and reduced self-dazzling due to light reflected by the fog.


In terms of technology, the Intelligent Light System is based on the VarioX module from Hella. This is a projector-type system with an HID lamp, and is a system in which the standard bulb shield for the classic cut-off line of the low beam is replaced by a free-form drum. Several precisely calculated contours for the different light distributions are integrated on its surface shell. The command to provide the differing light distributions is sent by the intelligent control electronics to a small electric motor. Within fractions of a second, the corresponding contour rotates on the drum into the beam path and changes the light distribution. The swiveling bearing of the module guarantees it works perfectly for all light distributions.
