Always liked the look of them - especially in black, such a presence on the road. But havnt they had a few right-ups re build and finish quality? :-/

Sorry LSG, but I still prefer your MV6, which I saw the other day in Sainsbury's car park.  

Still the best looking car in the car park; well except mine!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) ;)

300C shares its chasis with a W124 Merc so i expect that side should be good

300C uses that HEMI engine that turns its self into a 4pot on idle ie fires on 4

I love the looks of the 300C I even like the look of estate, not that you'd be able to carry much in it - it's tiny in the back. I think I'd always feel cheated if i didn't buy the 6.1 Hemi V8!!! They're nicer inside too, darker interiors rather than the pale grey in the others. There's always the lottery tonight .... or next week .... or the week after that ......  ;)  ;) :y

A friend of mine has one, spends more time at the dealer than it does on the road.

Though you could say that about a lot of Merc's these days.

5 series is a nice car, whether it be the previous e39 model or the current e60. I've driven an e60 and thought it was perfect. I've also driven a 300c, and I'd say please DON'T BUY ONE. They're cheap in comparison to vehicles of similiar size, and that's for a good reason...build quality and interior is poor. The engines are good, but the interior really lets it down. You wouldn't believe me really until you look and drive one. If it was a choice of a 5 series or 300c the 5 would win any day. But it's all personal preferences...if you like the 300c buy it...it'll be your car and no need to please anyone else. I do admit they have a great presence but you'll feel let down whenever you drive it.

the new 5 series with the m back alloys really are starting to grow on me, a 530d would go down very well. Still way out of my price range though
