Was that a 200CDI or a 220CDI? If it was the former then I'm not surprised you didn't feel special. I was given a C Class saloon courtesy car (06 plate) - now I loved the looks and the new interior (with leather) was so far ahead of the latest 3 series in both looks and quality. The handling/ride (this one had sports suspension) was up there with the new 3 series. However, the 200CDI diesel was poor - noisy and slow - had to rev it a lot (not what you want with a diesel engine) to get any decent progress and the mpg wasn't great. Substitute that engine for the 320CDI (or the 350 petrol) and I'd bet that would be fantastic drive.
I reckon you'd feel pretty good in a C350 Sports Coupe (especially if it were an AMG Evolution Panorama) Dave but don't take my word for it - take one on a test drive - we know you love test driving cars
