[@petergarner1971]

nice, calm, balanced review from Rory. Really starting to like this guy. cool and relaxed.

[@HIOP0]

First time seeing you review, very impressed. Agree re "shonky" button bar. The touch points in ANY car are the bits we relate to, the areas we come into physical contact with, dozens of times a day/week. This is what we feel we are paying extra for, over and above volume cars...Mercedes are along with Audi and BMW, volume car OEM's, whether they recognise it or not. What would it cost to make these buttons individual, rather than on one elongated bar?. Twenty/thirty/fifty pounds per car?. I'd be happy to pay that to get the premium experience this now lacks. Now I'm interested to find out where else they have cut corners quality wise.

[@JJJosh949]

I think if they kept some of the tactile elements of the temp control, seats, and a few of those buttons. This would’ve been a home run.

Great review, as always, Rory - in fact, I'd go as far as to say "tremendous"...! (sorry... couldn't resist...) As for the car...? I've always had a soft-spot for Mercedes, especially their 'smaller' models - I even loved how brilliantly clever and well-packaged the original A-Class was... ride quality aside...! Anyhow, yes - this C-Class looks fabulous and I'm glad they've kept with the focus on comfort, rather than trying to be an "ultimate driving machine"... Suits their style better, plus the dreadful state of the UK road network. Great work...
