Our other car is a 2010 Mercedes-Benz C220CDI Estate Auto (CO2 emissions 154 g/km). It is brilliant. For the test drive, Mercedes-Benz produced a car with sport suspension and 19-inch wheels. I found that to be horrible, as it seemed to bump and skip on winding Peak District roads. I insisted on having another drive in a C-Class with standard suspension, and found that I could drive it faster over the same course, despite having a less powerful engine, because it seemed better glued to the road. The salesman said that they sell more with Sport suspension than with the standard set up. I am amazed.
