My 184 got delivered today! It was supposed to be an MY15, but the the USB/3.5mm aux are in the bottom of the centre console (rather than an MDI in the glovebox) which makes me think I got lucky and landed an MY16 instead. Any other ways to tell?
Put about 150 miles on the car today, it's great to drive! On the negative side, it's a bit notchy when changing into second (maybe that will improve over time), and the placement of the ignition means my keyring rests on my knee. I'm very happy with the car!
These are the differences between MY15 and 16
