test drove the new c230
it's the hatchback. i doubt i'll buy it but just wanted to test it out. the turning radius is small. i love it. i know i wouldnt be able to do that in a cls. i don't know if its a good or bad thing though, but when i pounded first gear and shift to second it squeaked. maybe its the tires? i don't know, any theory's? i'm know next to nothing about how cars work. other than that it drives nice. ugly rear and ugly titianium trim. the rear is growing on me though.

I test drove it too... i thought it was really slow =/
i took my gf to check it out because the roof is really cool, and its cheaper than my CLS (~29K).
Positives: RWD, huge moon roof.
Negatives: Much slower than CLS from 0 RPM -- 4000 RPM, etc.
