Have they got most of the bugs out of the c2? I looked at one the other day, I kind of like it. It has great visibility. and I like the windows.

We have 20,000 miles on a 2006, its got some nice features and the drivers seem to like it.
Personally I think they may have took the whole "high tech/new age" thing a bit to far. I definately do not like the bonded in tailights, new ones are reportedly differant.
We like the 2006 Mercedes Benz engine but stay away from the 2007 emission version of the MB untill they solve the oil consumption problem.

Operating; Seven T444Es, One MaxxForce 7, One VT365, Four DT466s, One E-450 6.0 and one Mercedes in a C2.

We have received 6 2008 C2s in August 2007. We like the way they drive and the features they have on them. They have the Mercedes Benz engines in them. However, they do spend a lot of time out of district at the engine and transmission shop. The shop is good about fixing the buses and getting them back to us, but there are still a lot of issues with them. It is not necessarily a problem with the engine or transmission, but is with the emissions. We have had problems with the EGR Valves.
