It is pretty embarrassing if you wanted to take a couple of adults on a long trip. The back seats (in the coupe at least) are way small. Some of the cons some people have listed are accurate.
I think it's possibly a secret that most want kept Merc isn't actually expensive to service and run, they are just hideously expensive to buy brand new - but that's ok because there's plenty of folk to do that part for me and they always look after the car! At Merc I've had internal light bulbs replaced for literally $1, headlights for $20 per side (plus labour), Continental tyres fitted for nearly half the cost that the local Bridgestone dealership quoted. While I was very pleased of course, to be honest I wasn't surprised.

Lubrication of the sunroof, seatbelts, suspension springs (had a creak sound occasionally) and full test of aircon and sensors etc, handbrake test/adjust all at no charge. The transmission service was quoted at $520 but came in mid $400's.

$80 per rotor, plus about $150 to fit the pair, close to the $300 mark all said and done. As an example the front rotors were worn, but still legal, but I decided to replace them anyway as they felt imperfect. I've only had the C230 for about 3 months, I haven't actually used the dealership as 3 Point Classic is in my area and they are every bit the Mercedes experience, and actually a little bit cheaper but not that I found Merc terribly expensive. When I finally had to let go of the Smart and move to a bike for a couple of years I was sure I was going back to Merc when the time came, and sure enough I did. I found Merc servicing to be way cheaper and better quality than any other dealer I've used in the past (Holden, Ford, Honda).
Read more me to miss the experience altogether. The main reason I looked into Mercedes was I bought a smart cabrio years back which introduced me to the Mercedes experience, though if the smart wasn't so new to the country and I could have got servicing anywhere else my preconceptions about Mercedes may well have led. I drove a couple of C180's and found the power wanting, C200 was quite punchy but I settled on a 2005 C230 Kompressor which I actually bought interstate sight-unseen with 77000 k's on the clock.
