Is the Mercedes-Benz C230 sport a good car?
The car is very responsive (for a mild driver), turns corners very well. It feels ‘solid’ as you maneuver it. I did not like the fact that the default CD does not read MP3 files, which was not mentioned anywhere when I did my research before purchase (fortunately I got the 6CD option).
