does it feel weird driving from the passenger side?

Very. I still find myself walking to the wrong side of the car to get in, and having some things switch sides (e.g. mirror/window controls moved to left, indicator stalk is on the left which is opposite to normal Corollas, etc)... and there are some weird 'standard' features here- e.g. when putting gear into Park, doors unlock, and when shifting to Drive the doors lock.

ps. Sound system is horrible. Really horrible.

A lot. I struggle to come up with reason why is choose this car over my own. Only thing I can think of is at least noone will notice me or point at me when driving. But man I wish it had headlight which did something or windscreen wipers which actually wiped rain away!

Edit: I see a lot of the new S550 on the street so I thought I'd look up the price. $90k USD which at current rates is low to mid 80's. Makes me wanna cry that my midrange C class cost that much :( I know there are other factors to consider but it's still ridiculously cheap.

I like the 330D. After driving my mate's 330D Convertible I have to admit it actually drives really well. Made my C250's 2.1L tt diesel feel a bit lacking but 500Nm of torque still isn't bad.

Seremify, what'd you think about the C-Class in red? Do you rate it?

Seen a few pics and it looks good on the coupe (maybe not the sedan), but haven't had a chance to properly examine one IRL.

Looks good IRL but red is one of those colours which tends not to age well I find. But it does suit the coupe well.

TBH the best colour on the C Class I'd say is white- I've seen quite a few over here in the US and it does look good especially with the full black roof.

Not sure about the coupe but my mate drives a red E-class. Was never a big fan of Red on cars (apart from ferrari, obviously) but it really suited!

White looks awesome. I'm also digging that dark grey colour too.
