Tempted by this... UPDATE: It's home...

- Start date
So the car has arrived. Its so comfortable I need a new word for it, that air suspension is lovely. I've not spent much time with it, straight into work, but I'll start faffing later. For now, its shiny, smells good and well.... Shiny...
So shiny in fact that whenever I tried to take a photo from the front, where the sun was reflecting, its cocked up the camera...

Wow, it's come on leaps and bounds since the last one.
Looks so fresh and modern now. The last one hasn't aged well at all.
I love the colour combination and the ridges on the seats.
Hope you're pleased with it. I look forward to reading some more once you get to know it a little better!

That interior is very nice, still not sure about the iPad stuck to the dash but the rest is very well done
....oh and that colour
Cheers. I know the screen is a marmite thing, to be honest, when I first saw it on the A class, i hated it, but I don't even notice it now on the C Class, plus its the upgraded screen which looks far better than the standard black plastic bezel version. I think the LCI for this car has it all S class style as a long rectangular screen as part of the main dials etc which may look better.

Yeh the uprated screen fits in with the interior well, on the A-Class and CLA it looks very awkward, but seems a bit more elegant and compliant with the C Class interior
I can see why and such lovely detailsManiac said:LeeZ4MR said:Very nice and I love the colour combo loads

Lovely,lovely Merc
