It's a really is a nice car, I have had mine since February. Like the G35 and the A4 it is heavy for a smallish car and is not as nimble as I would like. For fifteen years (and 350,000 miles) I have driven and still do from time to time drive a VW Jetta, which I can throw around a corner with, ease. Don't get me wrong, the C230K handles great it just has a lot more inertia and is therefore less agile for city driving. On the other hand she is a dream for highway cruising and touring. The only other complaint is rear visibility; because of the upward pitch of the rear end it is difficult to see what’s on the side of you. I still don’t feel comfortable changing (zipping across) lanes in heavy traffic while relying seriously on side view mirrors.
I have had only one service issue, the driver door seal was damaged when installed, but was replaced by the dealer with no problem. I’m not so hot on Japanese cars, so I would narrow it down the C230K or the A4. The C230K is a solid and safe care with a lot more pluses than the two minuses I have mentioned. I suggest you take as many long test-drives as you can in all of the car you are considering. When you are parting with $25-30K it is nice to know you checked things out and left no question unanswered.
Is it worth it? Yes
Why? Because I like it (not the best answer, but it's an emotional thing).
