: Drove my friend's C43 a while ago and here are my impressions:

: Pros on C43:
: 1. Smaller turning angle.
: 2. Nice air-filled sport seats.
: 3. Very responsive gas pedal.
: 4. Eye catching badge, make all C class hail you.

: Con on C43:
: 1. Aging design.
: 2. Less power than 540i on higher speed.
: 3. Body kit looks like a banana.
: 4. Still handles like a Mercedes.

: G-tech test on both cars:

: C43 (STOCK) = 6.0 second (YES, YOU HEAR ME RIGHT! "SIX-POINT-ZERO" SECONDS)
: 540i (DINAN, before 3.15 Diff) = 5.5 seconds

: The Verdict: Both cars are about the same price, I still choose 540i over C430 or even E55 anyday! There are no substitution for the feeling being in a B-M-W !
