Do you rate the 7-g tronic auto box?
Discussion
I've been meaning to add to this thread and I've just got back the the C class after a couple of months driving the Volvo automatic. The Volvo is so much better. Although it doesn't have any modes it just works well. The C class is either inert and hesitant or hyperactive and giving mechanically unsympathetic shifts. The previous 5 speed tiptronic was so much better, but I'd now probably miss the ultra high top gear.
I have had a couple of 7g's, I find them fine, even on my C320 I have now I used to jump from the X3 with the 8 speed into the Merc with the 7g and never really felt it was a bad 'box in any way.
I have the newer 7g+ in the E350 petrol and that is also fine, really nice 'box to be honest.
The 5 speed 722.6 I have had in loads too, last one was the ML that I only sold last summer, that felt pretty dated to me, was often slow to change up and really, really needed another gear at the top too.
