@CMstyler Indeed...if it's safety you're looking for, you can't really go wrong with Mercedes (after all, they have been responsible for some of the most important inventions and developments in this sector, like the crumple zones, airbags, ABS...).

Congratulations and good luck on your purchase! The C-Class is indeed a great car and I wouldn't hesitate recommending it....although note that in a few months a facelifted version will be revelead.

Can't go wrong with MB, they make some of the safest cars in the world

@CMstyler, the c220 cdi is a very good car, I personally have one, feels a lot faster then mercedes claim, but if you are still looking for one i would get the c250 cgi, just had one for the weekend and it feels lighter and the nose with a higher top end to the engine. Saying that i get better fuel economy in my c220 and it pulls better (albeit with more turbo lag) then the 250 at low rpm

@0cnpgs0

i agree with all points.

but i know that in a few months a facelifted version will be revealed. but i'm not planning to buy a brand new one anyway. i live in holland, it is quite easy for me to get a second hand from germany for less. i live on the border anyway.

you still can get very good occasions! i want a 220CDI, great engines. very powerfull! 170bhp and 400NM, i don't need more ;)

thanks for the tip by the way, i appreciate it!
