C Class Gearchanges
Interesting topic! My last car, W203 C200 Komp, definitely started in second when in C Mode. However, my current car, W204 C220 CDi definitely starts in first in the same mode. However, it changes up earlier and is more reluctant to down-change. Guess with my type of driving, there are too many variables to check if there is any effect on MPG.
It seems to me that it depends on the model and might even depend on the software version!

C starts off in 2nd gear across the range.
Next time you are driving count the changes.
