the E-class is a beautiful car, but to big for me. the C fits quite nice..like a glove

 

I would've kept the Mustang, but if you like it - that's all that matters. Enjoy the new car.

 

You gotta be happy..It's your$$$$
hope to see you on the forum in the future .Maybe when the stang redesign comes out??

 

for sure once a mustang fan always a mustang fan. i still plan on posting on the boards

 

is that a six speed? or is it the automatic. just wondering, The C is ok, but i am a VW nut on the inside.

 

Yeah, but a C230?? That's either a good-sized 4-banger or a really tiny 6. Which one?

 

Since its C230, its 2.5L V6. 201 hp.

 

If it's a 6spd, how does the shifter and clutch feel compared to the Mustang?

It looks to be the 7-speed automatic, with the paddles on the steering wheel, I think.

 

its the V6 with the 7speed auto. the seemless shifting is nice when your accelerating. they did away with the kompressor models last year for the bigger n/a V6. to me it has plenty of power and it handles the twisties quite well.

 

Don't hate on the guy just because he was looking for a change. I've owned a couple of BMWs over the years and a couple of Mustangs. They were like apples and oranges, but I enjoyed them both. German cars have an entirely different feel from American cars. Not better, IMO, just different. As for quality, Benz is great. But that is not always a German thing. The worst POS I ever owned was a Jetta.

 

I'm glad someone here agrees with me about the quality of VW. They are really pricey when the time comes to fix them without warranty help.

 

Yeah I owned a Scirocco. Loved that car... BUT everything other than the engine fell apart on it.

All of the interior, the windows died about five times. Other than the engine it was pretty bad. And it cost me at least $300 every time I took it in.

 

gotta love a mercedes
gotta hate the people who trade a Mustang for a Mercedes

Im kidding, Its your choice. How much are they selling the GT?

 

once you find your way to www.vwvortex.com... and decide to fix your car yourself. VW's are by far and a way not horrible. I am going to go back as soon as i have the money.

 

That's a very, very nice car. It'd be nice if it had a bit more power but a very cool ride nonetheless. Congrats!

 

yeah it is nice. good luck with it!!!! hows the gas mileage?

 

thanks! ive only filled up one time so far so i havent had the chance to do the math yet. Mercedes claims 30mpg for the 2.5L motor. Im sure ill come close to that. Even when I had the GT i drove around like a grandpa.

 

HA so true, and this is what some people dont realize. unless youve driven a german car, you realy cant compare the two

 

I prefer BMW's myself, Benz's are a bit too cushy.
