Hi Guys, just got to this site while browsing through..tot I give my ride experience.
C200 / 2016. Ride is ok. So far quite happy. Engine noise is a bit loud as I am more used to V6 in Mercs. Noise insulation is so so only. Consumption is superb. Mileage now is 15,000km (first service is at confident 10,000km which is a bit surprising). But I still prefer my old 5 year old E class....hahaha..

Both also Avant. Not fair to compare E and C, different class altogether.
Maybe it is the run flat tires of C, seemed to be harder, so maybe harshier ride. C class town driving is good as the acceleration is very fast. I use CSC3 for my E and it is a lot more softer, the car is heavier and comfortable.
If you have a chance to do the MBM Driving Experience at Sepang where you try all the range, you will see the big difference between all the cars.

Yup, I received from NZ Wheels.
Called the service center and it will take at least 4 hours depending on how good the internet connection is.
