dealer sales people are a joke sometimes.

DS mode is the same as "S" mode
going up a hill and then punching it? Should have been in "S" since it would have to shift down from 7th gear... the problem with having so many gears with a low HP motor.
Braking is dismal until you heat up the pads a bit. Definately not BMW breaks but I think the MB pads are ceramic based.

Since the car was a dealer car, it was probably adapted for easy driving. True the C300 motor can be underpowered at times but get it into "S" mode, do some spirited runs and then see it shine.
It's no 335 but it can be comparable to the 328i HP wise

The interior is not as good as the BMW but both suck compared to Audi's IMHO
