Has anyone got a 2015 W205 C Class yet??

Considering one for a company car, I will probably opt for the C220 Sport and was wondering what first hand experiences where??

There is a HUGe thread on here already discussing ownership experience including mine - do a search

I've had my C 220 AMG Estate Premium Plus for two weeks now and love it.

Previously had a 2012 car for the last three years and the improvements are significant in my opinion.

Obviously the interior is a massive improvement in quality and kit.

Car feels much lighter and is already far more economical.

Early days but looking forward to getting to grips with all the new gizmos and features.

Well chuffed!

I have had a C250 sport premium since 1st January I am really pleased with it with 2 exceptions, the Navigator I find very poor, biggest letdown for me is lack of voice operation for phone.

I ordered a C220 Sport (Auto, Cavansite Blue with Crystal Grey interior) last week. Delivery expected early August.

Loved it on the test drive and it's got far more standard kit than the competition.

I took ownership of a c220 sport premium plus estate in March and it's a big leap forward from the w204 in most areas.
Plus points:
Interior refinement
Drive - My w204 would always want to drift to the left, even after alignment.
Lights - LED lights are good.
Kit, panoramic roof, reversing camera, memory seats, keyless entry, etc. (granted it has the extra packs, but was similar cost as old model)
Negatives:
Boot cover. This has been integrated to open with the tailgate, however this means the opening is smaller, and so seems to get in the way more.
COMAND TomTom traffic updates. This was initially working, but stopped after a few weeks. I've had the COM's module reset at a dealer but the traffic updates are currently only intermittent. I have a case opened with MB.

If you don't want the boot cover to integrate with the tailgate you can 'disconnect' it.

You just pull the cover out from the channels at the sides and allow it to retract against the rear seat back rests. It is then in 'manual' mode.

If you want to resume auto closing you just return the cover into the side channels.

Simples!

I agree about all the improvements over the 204 model and the LED Intelligent lights are just awesome....even better than those on the 204 which weren't LEDs.

Had our C250 Sport Premium since December, and after 4,000 miles it's starting to give the sort of economy I was hoping for. Great car, very refined. Only thing I don't like are the seats which are a little hard on a long run. Wish now I'd gone for leather, but then I couldn't have had the heated seats. Choices, choices.

Yeah I've done this but it didn't seem to get out of the way as much as it did in the w204, but perhaps I've just imagined that. Taking the cover out was also simple, and the quick release buttons to lower the seat backs are great :-)

Ref your traffic issues; is your phone with O2 by any chance?

I'm guessing the dealer has set the ConnectMe stuff up for you?

Hmmm, my phone is giffgaff (O2 network) and I've never had any contact with the dealer. I guess this is why live traffic and the internet doesn't work? I was going to get them to look at it when it goes in for a service.

C200 Premium Plus here with 8k miles in 3 months. 42mpg according to obc and fairly lively performance. Burmester stereo and Pano roof are lovely. Interior is fantastic and miles better than F90 BMW.

Mine is Palladium with the AMG Pack and looks **OK**. I keep seeing SE trim cars though and they look a bit unpleasant to be honest, especially in white.

The COMAND system does not use the attached phone for traffic or Mercedes Me. I'm with EE and the data connection is only used when I use the browser or online google maps, or the other apps. The car uses it's own sim that's part of the COM module for the traffic and Mercedes Me. Mine is still intermittently working as yesterday it was ok but today it didn't work at all.

If you have COMAND then you don't have to have Mercedes Me configured for traffic updates as I didn't initially but traffic was working. It was only when I took my car in after having the issues that I got them to connect my car to my Mercedes Me account.
