A Fun-to-drive MB?

It was refreshing to test drive this little Benz, after owning 2 MBs (190E 2.6/300E) that it can be made both solid, stable and fun at the same time: Quick ratio steering but well damped, great solid body, wonderful peppy 4 cyl engine (this thing gets down and boogey, even to this Boxster owner), nicely done interior, far superior to those of Audi A4/BMW 3/Lexus IS300/Infi G35 etc...and overall driving finesse unmatched by any of the above brands. It IS the car to drive home AFTER experiencing all others, for it calms your nerve and surrounds you in well- engineered safety features and still a heck of fun to drive when you want to.

I don't like how there's no switch that opens the doorlocks from the inside. If I want to let passengers in the backseat, I have to open my door to unlock all the doors. The controls in the dash is hard to reach. The sound system needs an upgrade, and the digital dash display looks too big and generic, reminds me of my 86 Mazda.

It is "3S"- Solid - build,Safe - to drive,Strong - body. I like it very much and I feel I can depend on it on the road. Krystyna.

2004.5 230 Sedan is a work of art

Going from a modified to rally stage 02 WRX @300HP, the get up and go of this car is much less...But wait..while I can't sprint and hit the corners as hard, this car really moves with an agile confidence. The more I drive it the more I am impressed. Wrap it up with the MB styling...I love it..the 04 wheels and pipe give it a great look and profile. Add in some comfort, and borderline luxury and it is a sweet ride... Close to a work of art in my eyes.
