Nicely.

Couple of very minor things I already knew about, parking sensor issue and roof liner by boot top needs clips. But drives smoothly and quiet. Like!

Providing you are not to heavy with your right foot, you should get high 40s to low 50 mpg on a decent run.
I average around 56-57 in my c class if driven sensibly.

Looking back at the old thread there's no info on this one other than the pic. Spec (got to be diesel!), age, miles, did you beat your budget or beat the budget to a pulp? :D

Interior pics?
