Hello, Just found the forum today, I not new to MB family, they are one of the best cars made.
Just purchased a 1999 C230 Kompressor, we are moving up from a 1984 190E, which was crashed about a month ago, my wife T-boned a pick-up truck at about 50mph, never saw it cutting accross traffic on US 1, totaled my MB, walked away from wreck with seat belt sores (ribs & shoulder). I believe the car saved her from serious injury. Mercedes does very well in crashes even a car that old.

I am a little dissapointed with the new cars ride, the 190's ride was much smoother, maybe because it was broken in, but it only had 120k on it?
Have a geat day!

I've seen many MBs that saved people from serious injuries. '99 C230 is still a great car. Congratulations on your new vehicle!

One thing about Benz's is the engineering is excellent. I'm glad you're wife was able to walk away from such a wreck. Congrats on your new C230 as well!
