I have the model before that....The C250 is a great everyday engine. Pulls strongly and a lovely place to be. Plus very good on fuel...I average 55 to the gallon and the best I've seen on the trip to work is 70.2...I was never a Mercedes fan but been coverted. Put around 26k on her since In the 19 months I've owned her and she has been ultra reliable. Been thinking about changing for a new shape like yours (love the interior on the new car) or a E250 one E350 Coupe. That's a great family daily drive you have.
