2011 Model C Class Estate : Buying advice wanted please.

[xftdr]

Hi Everyone, just visiting from the Porsche Forum to get some advice please.

I am thinking of replacing my everyday car - a volvo v70 - with a C class estate, maybe a 2011 model. I have never owned a Merc and really like the look and size of the new C class so I would be really interested to hear any comments about the cars reliability, any things I need to look out for and, in particular after my V70, fuel consumption figures. I am looking to buy an auto and apart from it having a sunroof and heated seats I have no particular view on what model to get but more fuel efficient the better.

Thanks in advance for any help
