Default service loaner

2006 MB C280

I was surprised when she took me out to the car, I've become accustomed to the run-of-the-mill bone stock a4's that I've gotten in the past (and one A6 3.0 that couldn't get out of it's own way!)

Pretty boring ride, but comfy. i still like the Audi interiors better and driving an MB auto puts me to sleep. It would be a great car for someone over the age of 60 but it's not for me.

I feel bad hearing about all the guys that get screwed out of a service loaner when I get to my dealership. But hell, it's one of the reason I chose my dealer :-)

I saw a truckload of white covered A4's being hauled in as I left, I think one set of wheels looked like RS4's

BTW the MB DVD nav directions suck in boston, probably not the car's fault, these streets keep changing.

Default Clair? Sounds like you got the same MB 280 that GDawgA4 got a few weeks back.

So what has Clair said about all of the recent performance mods?

Default yup, I had no nav and only partial power seats. The C280 4-Matic has a stiff suspension compared to

the regular RWD version (as noted by others in MB forums). Taking corners, it stayed pretty flat just like my car with the h-sports on.
