I test drove the C Class C250 CDI 125 Edition Sport Auto Saloon (face lift model) on Saturday.

I must say I was impressed with the drive, the interior of the car and the general customer experience at the Mercedes dealer.

The auto box is smooth and quiet. The Eco start/stop was a little weird at first but you get used to the complete silence when you stop and the engine cuts out. Mercedes have improved the level of equipment that is standard accross the range and I remember a time when you used to pay extra for everything! The test drive was not rushed and I was out for a good 50 mins with a drive on the motorway too. The salesman had a good knowledge of the range and answered any questions I fired at him.

Overall a very nice drive and I can't believe I am saying this but its a real contender as an alternative to the current BMW 3 series.
