Very nice car. I like the exhaust tips taken from the facelifted model, that's what I would have done. I couldn't find a good 2014 generation which sounds much better, so ended up buying a facelifted one (2018). Very happy with this car, it's an ideal allrounder, very reliable and still has a great sound. I drove it to Norway and Montenegro in one year last year and I am taking it down to Spain and Portugal later this year.

[@Driver20418]

@@emixmim Oh ok i see

[@pistonburner6448]

Absolutely, totally incorrect!! There is absolutely NO truth to that false excuse. None at all. Many car manufacturers are able to make V12, V8 twin turbo, 6-cyl twin turbo PHEVs which EASILY fulfil emissions regulations and EASILY are under decent CO2 levels too. The way the (corrupt) emissions tests have been designed means that any PHEV system will reduce the car's overall emissions so much that the internal combustion engine doesn't have almost any bearing at all. It's only about how large the battery is = how many km it can be driven on the fake "Zero" emissions (even though Ffe München and many other research institutes have proven many ICE cars to be far below EV emissions if they are fueled by even slightly lower-emissions fuel. And EVs are NOT zero overall, not even near zero). Look at all the supercars and huge, massive Porsche and Mercedes PHEVs with twin-turbo V8s and 6-cylinder engines which easily pass emissions regulations and have lower official CO2 numbers than non-PHEV little 4-cylinder engines... And that's without even trying! I'm sure that most people would want a 8, 10 or 12 cylinder engine or even just 6-cylinder which has been designed to be as low-emissions as possible if that's what's needed. It is absolutely 100% certain that it's possible to make a 6-cyl engine with lower emissions than Mercedes' extremely high-strung 4-pots. Hell, they could go the Prius-route and make the 6-pot an Atkinson-cycle engine to lower its consumption and emissions... Mercedes could easily make a 2-litre 6-cylinder engine version. No, it's all about cost savings, Mercedes wanted to only have one engine size in the new model to make it simpler to design and cheaper to produce. I hope Mercedes really has their "Bud Light" moment with this clown stuff they're trying to push and they get a huge financial hit from it.

[@pistonburner6448]

It was the opposite: Mercedes had increased their investment into that model, and had genuine metal buttons for example which very few other cars have ever had. I agree that in places there could be improvements like that large centre console lid being fine and long-lasting but still feels flimsy, but calling it bad quality overall is just incorrect. Compared to what?

@@pistonburner6448 I cant remember feeling anything "metal" in that car... Are you sure about that? I just remember chrome painted plastic. Something that could be interpreted as metal at a distance. As long as you didnt touch it. What you feel though is when touching the whole instrument panel and it flexes and creeks.. Everything on it. Everywhere. I'm not saying its worse than other cars. But its just not what MB was in the 80/90's that I grew up with. That was what you would see in other much cheaper cars. And then you got back into the w123 and everything felt like a real car again instead of a childs toy. Its the same with the door handels on the outside. Maybe that C-class is better than the prior one. I dont remember how it felt. But generally what I've seen at the dealership has been a noticable decline in interior quality feel since at least the w212.. if talking e-class. But you could see cheapening already starting to happen from w123 to w124 model shift.

I've heard that "everything squeaks when you push it" story so many times...don't believe everything you hear, at least not literally and to the extreme. It's so funny when people complain that the car's interior isn't at an absolute Rolls-Royce level and then they dress like a slob and live in a cheap rented dump, haven't eaten in a luxury restaurant in months or years and have absolutely no 'high luxury' in any aspect of their lives... So funny to hear people talking about cars in this price class and pretending that nothing but the most absolutely high luxury will do!! Literally driving with a 4-pot engine and criticising panels you never even need to touch maybe moving a slight bit when you push them hard! Yes, in a few panels of the Mercedes W205 when you press on them they are not rigid, but how do you even know that's a bad thing? Not every part of every cars is supposed to be or needs to be rock-hard... Some places have soft-touch materials and some spots where people lean on them they need to be rigid, like the arm rest area. And I already said that the one panel in the dash feels a bit rickety but it lasts perfectly well and functions perfectly well, as well as in many trim options it looks absolutely fantastic...so how is that supposed to be some disaster?

All cars have their negatives like the C-Class had outdated looking graphics on the displays and not the best operating system...but especially now with the most modern ones it's far from the worst system too!
