Hi Davy. Please see the following thread:

most of the comments still apply, except you have a nice engine (IMO). Are you buying new or pre-owned?

Hi Davy, I bought my C320 avantgarde almost a year ago, still love driving it, as omni say's what an engine.
I don't do a big mileage and I'm glad as you will get low 20mpg around town and I have managed 30mpg on the motorway at 75mph.
Not had any unexpected gremlins so far, although mine idle's a little rough but I have been told on here thats down to needing new leads (Jberks,thanks).
Let us know your decision.
