Put a tall person in the drivers seat, and you only have room for 2 others.

Fast & Smooth — I love this car! Where do I start? It is a small car compared to my size (I'm 6' 4). Nonetheless I love the drive. Its so smooth on the road and the acceleration is immense. 0-60mph under 4sec. Now that is a dream! Fast, smooth .. What else can I say? Its a Mercedes. Don't take my word for it, test drive the new C-Class 2008.

I Love The Baby Beast. — I have had this car for 3 years now and it does everything for me. A little bit of sports car, it carries my giant breed dogs, it brings home IKEA furniture, great up north for snowboarding, and makes long trips shorter with great aerodynamics on the highway.

My Car Can Outbreak Yours Anyday! — It used to beautifull, until the hail it and I had a horrible body shop fix it. Then I was rear ended by a truck and that wasn't the body shop either... Then.......after my b/f kissed a tree pretty damn hard it sat at the worst body shop EVER for 3 months and was vandalized while it was there! So to say the least I used have a gorgeous Benz. Considering its only a 4cyl it drives pretty good with decent acceleration, and the best brakes of any of the cras i tried out- this would include Jag, Audi and Cadillac to name a few. The 04" C230 Kompressor does not have the nicest interior, it has "leather inserts" and has power everything but "forward and back" seat controls, which drive me nuts! I am only 4"11 so i can reach the pedals well, most other cars i actually have a problem with. lol. It sticks to the road really nice and handles pretty damn good as well for when I'm play road course way out off Bee caves down windy roads scarring people. I do recomend making sure you can afford the tires since those damn soft things can and will find every nail on the road! lol. Also if you want to have a huge bass sytem or put a new system in the car I don't recomend it. No one will touch it? dunno why...
