Nice ride, they really updated the interior for 2012 on the C class and the 'new' DI 3.5 is a sweet motor, 306hp I believe with better fuel economy.

I tried to work a lease for my wife for a '12 E350 Cab and the guy I was working with gave me a retarded money factor, so I walked. I told him to quote Tier 1 and obviously he didn't listen. Maybe, you'd be easier to deal with and understand I'm a car enthusiast that has a pretty good handle on what the going rate is for MB vehicles.

The cars default to C (comfort) on the transmission. There should be a C/S button on the center console. when in C mode, the car starts off in 2nd gear and shifts earlier and smoother for economy. I hate this too and wish I could get it to default to S when the car is started. In S, the car starts in first, shifts faster and holds revs longer. AMG cars will allow you to stay in S/C/or M by default from what I have seen.

Also, these cars tend to have a very heavy gas pedal, ie: you gotta give it some to get it goin, not sensitive like domestics, asian cars, etc. Most german cars are like this from what I have seen and driven. MB, BMW, and Audi for sure.

thank you for that answer, I used to valet, and every damn time I got in a benz, I'd check the parking brake, put it in gear, start to drive off..... then "oh crap did I leave the parking brake on?" nope it's just a benz. If not for that, they would be some of my favorite cars. not knocking it, just venting about the ONE thing I don't like about them.

Very nice choice.

all the newer benz's I've driven feel like the parking brake is on when you start out. Only one that didn't feel like that was a McLaren SLR. is there a reason for that? always drove me crazy.

[johnny--2k]

Haha....I can find out if it's possible. From what I have heard, the car "may" reteach itself the correct height and go back to normal after some time. What year CLS?

[AdamLX]

So who has the hook up on using the STAR system to lower my CLS?

[johnny--2k]

I agree, but my commute is almost 15 miles longer than yours :P

OK, you win that one! haha.

Thanks everyone! I do have a lot of cars some of you guys might be interested in as well if anyone is in the market. Everything from Vettes to C and S 63's. Anyone in the market for a 2012 Continental GT with 1400 miles?

Nice ride!

[Ratt]

I'll take the tollway over 635 and 114/121 any day of the week!
