Winner!
My car just gone was a Merc as well, I was looking at BMW but it almost brought me to tears just thinking about it lol, unless it was one of the more expensive 5 series M sports or something but I really wanted to stay as a Merc driver, BM's are nice but they're a bit boy racer if you get one of the normal models, either that or their very generic.
Quality cars.
Do you know why the German car industry has been so successful since the 50s?
Because they weren’t allowed to build or develop weapons, or defense systems. All of those engineers and engineering scientists worked in the automotive industry.
Same with the Japanese.
Which model are you getting?
C-Class Sports.
I'm just a town hopper, I only really drive to work and to the gym so I don't want anything too big like an E-Class plus the car park is awful and usually has tight spaces so I didn't want anything bigger.
My previous car was a Merc CLC and it was handy for that exact reason as it has a short rear, but I always wanted a full saloon Merc so made the jump.
About the Germans, the other thing coming from the war is that Germans believe in making things well, strong durable parts and reliability, they don't cheap out like Japanese, British and American parts which are all cheap parts to increase profit.
Lovely car.
