I don't really mind the manual lumbar. I find the power seats more useful.

I'd take the C300 sport ten out of ten times over the 328i sedan just based on looks alone, and performance wise it's been stacking up well against the Bimmers if you read and believe the car rags. The 6-speed should significantly up the fun factor and worthiness of it's cause also.
The only real problem I have with the car is that you're going to start seeing alot of them in the next couple years just due to the fact that it *is* such a nice design and meant to appeal to a broad audience. Everybody and their mom wants one, and many of them will end up having one before tool long. If I was looking for a car to feel cool or somewhat unique in, (which is always!) it wouldn't appeal to me as much on that level. |

I like to customize my cars a bit to make them more "me." First thing on my list is wheels.

No. For some reason, at least around here, models with the P2 Package (includes the xenon lights) are not very common. HIDs arent available as a stand alone option either as they are with BMW.
I had xenons on my Cooper S, so I needed them this time around too. Luckily the HID and non-HID equipped C300s come with the same projector housings anyway so I just added an HID kit. That's what most people seem to do on the Benz forums and we've all had good luck so far.

Very sexy car, congrats... My GF is looking at the C350 Sport as well. I keep trying to talk her into BMW but she loves MB. I have to say when we went on the test drives for the C300 and C350 they have great interiors and smooth ride. You won't be disappointed. Looking forward on seeing your car with some new shoes.

Very nice looking car, the only thing I don't like are the wheels.....maybe pick up some AMG style wheels?

I'd recommend mymbonline over mbworld; more real mods and info, less attitude. I love the exteriors of the new C classes. The interiors and increasing lack of manual transmissions, not so much. Enjoy the Benz (especially the warranty! :smile: ). |

Had it since 1994; 174k miles, and still making me grin on my commute in summertime. Unfortunately for my future passengers, no plans to dump it - reliability and fun are hard to come by in the same car anymore. |

They do look a lot better, but I didnt LOVE them. My car actually had the AMG wheels on it, but I had them take them off and put the stock sport wheels back on. I liked them, but for $1010 I think I can find some wheels I like even better.
