Merc C-Class thoughts?

[Andr3w]

My situation has changed and I'm finding myself sat on the motorway for 90% of my driving, doing long(ish) journeys.

I'm looking at swapping my car for something more motorway/commuter friendly.

I keep finding myself drawn towards the C220. What are your thoughts on this car?

This morning I went to the local BMW, Audi and Mercedes garages. I'm a big fan of the A4 - and the new A3 saloon. I know the 3 Series is a great car but it doesn't seem to excited me as much as the mercedes .

Thoughts? Budget would be around £17-19K

This is the sort of stuff I wanted to hear, it would be silly to buy one as it is an 'older' car.

What 3 series should I expect for my budget? My only must haves are sat nav/cruise/climate cobteol , I just worry that a few BMWs are poorly specd?

I'd be more than happy with a 320D. You guys seem to be pushing me towards the 3 series so I'm thinking I might as well have a test drive eh? !

Is the M sport pack worth it or should I stay with sport/executive models?
