I need a 4 door sedan fairly regularly, so my Boxster cannot be my only car. My daughter recently convinced me that because my 1996 Infiniti G20 lacks side air bags that I should consider replacing it with something a more current from a safety perspective. If I give up my G20 I'll miss it, but a co-worker's sister was "T-boned" last year and the consensus is that the side impact air bags saved her life.

For some reason, I've been fascinated by a Mercedes C230 Kompressor sedan with a 6 speed manual transmission. I've been researching the 2005 models on the Mercedes Boards. I never thought of myself as an MB person, but there is something about the car that appeals to me.

It's nice to see that someone owns a Mercedes and a Porsche and isn't embittered by the experience.
