Pros: Steering, handling, solidity, safety features, refinement
Cons: C230 power just adequate, pricey
Summary: “If you really want to play, you’ve got to get serious.” Thus I titled my review of the 2001 C240. Mercedes promoted the car as a true BMW 3-series competitor in terms of handling and overall driving enjoyment. My test drive of a C240 with ... read more

Pros: Style, substance, comfort and THIRTY FOUR MILES PER GALLON
Cons: Some cheap interior switchgear, supercharger only rated to 100K, expensive MB service
Summary: A while back I wrote a review on the 2001 C240 that I purchased used. I drove that car for a bit less than two years and a bit less than 50,000 miles. When I sold it, it was almost seven-years-old, had 106,000 miles on the odometer, and still looked ... read more

Pros: It has the whole package: looks, comfort, fun amenities, and zippiness
Cons: Repair and maintenance costs can be astronomical.
Summary: It’s easy to write a glowing automobile review during the honeymoon phase… you know, the first four years before the car starts breaking and costing lots of money. This isn’t one of those reviews. My Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor Sport ... read more

Pros: Great response, fast, stylish, comfortable ride and very quiet and smooth.
Cons: Needs Cup holder redesign, needs BLUE TOOTH enabled as standard feature.
Summary: What a great upgrade from the 2005-2006 versions. Standard Kompressor engine, body, character all in one! I bought the 2007 MB C230 SPORT last october 2006. It's a great ride and the number one feature I was looking for is ROOM! I'm 6'1" 237lbs and I ... read more

Cons: Expensive, smallish, hard back seats
Summary: Last week I purchased a 2007 C230 sport. I traded in a 2004 Acura TL. Initial impressions: this car is very sporty and handles like a dream. It has very low profile tires (the tires on the back are actually larger than the ones on the front) and a ... read more

Pros: Panoramic Sunroof, compact yet cool, great steering - easy u-turns and parking, gas mileage
Cons: cup holders, tires need to be replaced frequently, 2 doors
Summary: I bought my C230 Coupe in December 2004 and have almost all great things to say about it. First, it is a joy to drive. If you haven't test driven a Mercedes, try it. I felt like it was much more solid than most other cars I drove. The ... read more

Comfortable
Great Gas Mileage
Cons: Initial Electrical problems were a bit worrysome

Pros: supercharged 4cyl, gas mileage, sound system, MB styling
Cons: the infamous cupholder, novel idea, but a little flimsy.
Summary: I - love - this car. I drive it even when I have nowhere to go, because with this car the journey is truly what its all about and even when you get to your destination, you'll be having withdrawal about getting out of the driver's seat. Don't worry

Pros: Safe, Sporty, Reliable, Comfortable
Cons: Cruise Control
Summary: I have a 2005 Mercedes C230 Sedan, and I purchased this car in November of 2005. I bought it used, but with low mileage on it. I was initially intrigued by the design of the car, and the overall look stood out to me. As I gained more and more

Pros: Nice looking exterior design, but lack-luster interior.
Cons: Rear-wheel drive is unstable. The interior has a cheap feel. Lacks basic ergonomics.
Summary: This entry-level Mercedes really is truly their "low end". I was very disappointed in driving this on a road trip as the feel, trim, quality and performance were unimaginative and lacking. Maybe the rule of thumb "you get what you pay for" should be

Pros: nice look, smooth ride, lots of gadgets, great MPG (over 30)
Cons: mushy shifter
Summary: I bought this 2004 C230 used with 10,000 miles. The person before me used it for short commutes on a regular basis (confirmed by the computer). He missed out on some of the best features. This car is a great cruiser. Plenty of power, great gas

Pros: Stylish, fun to drive, responsive.
Cons: Plagued with frequent multiple recurring electronic gremlins
Summary: Purchased the vehicle new from Mercedes Benz of Bedford. From day one the vehicle has been plagued with electronic gremlins. True the car is stylish, fun to drive responsive, but unless you like adding "one more thing" to your "to do list"---like taking

Pros: Fast, reliable, sporty, and good gas mileage.
Cons: Poor visibility, back seats hard to get into
Summary: The car runs smoothly, has nice pickup and fun features. The back seat is roomy but tough to get in, so don't pick this model if you plan to use it much. I LOVE hatchback/fold down seats for utility when shopping or loading. There are visibility issues
