yes. drive the 6 speed. we own one. it does not feel like a pig by any means. it feels just right for a supercharged 1.8L, despite being heavier than i think it should be.

and i think you chose the worst color to post the c230 in..

ours, winter mode:

I kinda like the 318ti. I saw a dark blue one with the M package recently that was quite hot.

it's not that obvious, but that was during the storm. stuff was accumulating pretty quickly.

edit > the c230 is still made, just not for the US market anymore. it's popular as hell in europe. and all the hate amuses me.
