Pros: Beautiful in and out, great performance, driving position, leading-edge technology
Cons: Uninvolving, small tach, tighter than expected rear seat
Summary: Better is not necessarily better. I first noticed this with cars about fifteen years ago with a 1988 Mazda MX-6 test drive. Compared to other front-wheel-drive cars I’d driven, this then new Mazda was clearly possessed a superior chassis. For one ... read more

Pros: V8 Power, Great MPG, Aesthetics, Suspension and Ride Quality
Cons: none!
Summary: About a month ago, I purchased a used 2003 Mercedez Benz E500 and all I have to say about this car is that it is truley amazing. Exterior: The appearance of this car is one of the many features that makes this car stand out among the rest. Optional ... read more

Pros: Performance, Handling, Looks, Comfort, Image, Economy, Load space - Basically everything!
Cons: None whatsoever.
Summary: Excellent handling, power and performance. I bought the ML270 because I wanted a large car with a good safety record. I wasn't expecting much in terms of performance but was very pleasently surprised. Although the official 0-60mph time is 11.6 ... read more

Pros: Best looking mid-sized Mercedes to come down the pike in decades.
Cons: A bit sluggish off the line.
Summary: The E320 is my fourth Mercedes sedan. My first and favorite was a 1968 250S. It was an absolute classic. Wonderfully rich interior, excellent handling, but a bit underpowered. The body style was instantly recognizable as a Mercedes with a slight Pagoda ... read more

Pros: Looks, safety, engine power.
Cons: It deserves a Zero for value, I expect more from Mercedes.
Summary: It is a beautiful car with gorgeous lines. It has that wonderful Mercedes weight where you just feel safe inside the car. Other than that, I think the car is terrible. It has some great extra features, but most of them do not work properly and it is ... read more

Pros: Great size, wonderful traction in nasty weather, prestigue in an SUV.
Cons: Missing 3rd row, horrendous stereo ergonomics, truck like ride.
Summary: Intro: My wife and I were looking for more room in our next family hauler so we started to look at replacement vehicles. We were currently in a Subaru Forester which was perfect but with 2 kids in car seats, there was no room for a person to ... read more

Pros: Mercedes performance without the Mercedes pricetag.
Cons: none come to mind.
Summary: Yesterday, I decided it might be interesting to check out some of the lower end models at my local Mercedes dealership. The friendly dealer showed me to a 2003 C230 Kompressor priced reasonably at $24,000... not bad for a Benz! I had long considered the ... read more

Pros: Solid, unmatched quality in its class. A winner.
Cons: More pep. Sticker shock with options.
Summary: As a current owner of several BMW's, Audi's and Lexus (Lexii?) I can speak with some degree of familiarity vs. these cars. I also drove every car that would be considered competitive before I bought my first MB C240. In comparison to the Japanese cars in ... read more

Pros: Excellent turn of shape to introduce modern styling and design.
Cons: Rather thirsty on fuel and a tadge difficult to park
Summary: Eager anticipation awaits any model that the mainstream prestige car manufacturers decide to rip apart and start again. What was once an extra soon becomes standard. What we dropped our jaws at, we now barely bat an eyelid. So how can a company, such as ... read more

Pros: Smooth, quiet ride, quality controls/materials, a driver's cockpit, surefooted 4matic, safety.
Cons: sluggish when starting but pulls with authority and composure, premium gas.
Summary: We have had our C240 4Matic wagon for 8500 miles now and have only wonderful things to say about it. We bought it new for only $30K and change. Wife loves it, I love it, and our two kids in carseats love it. We had a 2000 Odyssey and are used to more ... read more

Pros: Reliable, reputation, physically appealing, great auto transmission
Cons: Overpriced, barely better than V6 Accord or Camry, replacing factory audio is very costly.
Summary: I have a 2003 C320 and drove it for a year. First, the C class is the most reliable of all MB. This information is coming from the MB Service Manager of one the largest dealers in California. My car has been trouble free and runs well without any ... read more

Pros: Overall, the M-Class is a good vehicle but not 5 stars.
Cons: Smug service reps, extremely costly repairs, ineffective cup holder, brakes that wear to fast.
Summary: I had purchased the M-Class for my family in Summer of 2000. What prompted me to purchase this car was the high safety rating,... knock on wood,... I'm glad we've never had to test or confirm it and it's now the beginning of 2004. Overall, the M-Class ... read more

Pros: Service, handling, fun
Cons: small back seat, expensive to repair, feels a little cheap
Summary: Ok, maybe this is a little bit of a contrarian’s review, but I thought it would be helpful. We owned the C240 for around a year and traded it for an Acura MDX. I know, very small car for an SUV? Let me summarize the reasons: It kept getting smaller ... read more

Pros: Smooth ride, tons of safety features, quiet ride (with windows closed).
Cons: Lawnmower exhaust sounds, supercharger whine, poor handling on snow, needs more power.
Summary: I originally posted this review under "2003 Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor Sedan" page but there is a problem with accessing that listing. Therefore, I posted it under this updated listing for 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class AND I HAVE DELETED MY REVIEW FROM ... read more

Pros: Beautiful inside and out
Cons: Poor accelleration
Poor braking modulation
Poor automatic shifting
Summary: T'was time for a new car and a former love rekindled our attraction for Mercedes. Several years ago, I had purchased a low mileage, used 1993 E class for my wife. A beautifully German car. The proverbial bank vault on wheels: solid, sure, secure. ... read more

Pros: Quiet, smooth, versatile. Great lease rates.
Cons: Fuel economy is not great.
Summary: I had been considering the C230 Sport Coupe, and then the C230 Sport Sedan. I liked the idea of getting a Mercedes for under $30K. However, one test drive of the C240 Wagon was enough to convince me that it was the right vehicle for me. All of the re ... read more

Pros: Big bang for the bucks, Safety, Cheap Insurance, 4-year free maintenance, powerful V4
Cons: CD player is a premium, Heavy Steering, 4matic limited to higher end
Summary: This review is on a 2004 C230 Sports Sedan. We got it two weeks ago and drove it for about 500 miles and this review is based on our experience. The 2004 category in epinions does not list this car, and hence I am placing my review here in 2003 cat ... read more
