Oh please don't make the same mistake twice....

I owned a brand new MB before and the reliability was a nightmare. Everytime I started the car I had to freeze myself and not make any noise for 5 secs, just to hear if there's any abnormal sound coming from the engine bay.

I will never touch this brand again, unless I have enough disposable income to get rid of it before warranty runs out.

the interior looks like my friends altima , and yes it does look like a 3 series.

I would choose the IS over a MB but not a BMW. But I see your point.

Life is short. Reliability is important but not at the top of my list. If having the most reliable car is your sole criteria, you miss out owning some great cars in your life time.

Although the C-class made a lot better, I still like my IS more... Benz is for old dude! haha

I think the W209 CLK you have is very nice. I used to like the W208 better, but the current one has really grown on me and I love the pillarless windows

Including since they added the CLK 350 and 550 (which is a beast at 384hp) and redefined tails. I saw one in red in the showroom with black leather right after I picked up my IS when I went and bought my moms GL 450. For some reason I wish I took my time and shopped around more but I was traumatized by nightmare with my C230. It seems as if I'm having the same amount of problems with the Lexus as I did with the C230.

You have a good memory. Yes, on an evening like today with the moon roof open, all windows down, no pillars, and some good music, aahhh - life is good.

Hawaii is awesome, I miss that place. Everytime I go there, I want to stay there and don't want to come back!

too boxy for my tastes... what's with that steering wheel?

Larry96815

That is what I did. Came out here with a one way ticket, no job, nothing. That was 25 years ago. Best thing I ever did.

The style looks nice......sort of a scaled down S550........but in the back of my mind lurks the absolutely horrible reliability of Mercedes of late. The reason I bought the Lexus was my 2002 C-Class could NOT stay away from the dealer. Always something wrong or going wrong. Second worse car I've ever owned. The worst? My 1987 Mazda RX7. Biggest piece of crap I've EVER owned. Three engines just to name one problem.

Nope. No more Mercedes for this guy. I've learned my lesson.

this is what i think they should do to all the cclass's hehe .... they look better than b4 kinda but i'd take a IS250/350 any day over it... the navi looks like how it is on thr G35's the way it pops up.. but yea i'd rather have it all the time like on the IS where ucan use it for other stuff....

Knock on wood but in my two MBs the only ting I have had is a burned out turn signal bulb. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Ironic story: The worst car I ever owned new was a 1970 Cuda. Sure wish I had it back now.
