Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Safety, handling, performance, gas mileage, stylish
Cons: Compact, slightly stiffer suspension
The Bottom Line: Love it!

I was on the market for a new car in July and August of this year. My old Camaro was not cutting it any longer and would not serve as a family vehicle. Plus, I was getting tired of the lack of trunk and passenger space. I test drove several vehicles ...

My dream ride, but with a practical edge! (E320 CDI)

by ssamaha
Jun 10 '05 - Updated Jun 11 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: 369 lb/feet torque and 37mpg! Fast & fun to drive, built like a bank vault
Cons: minimal standard equipment in short supply (not easy to get a good price on)
The Bottom Line: Drive the E350 and E500 first, then Drive the CDI and if you can tell the difference between the 500 and the CDI, I'll buy you beer!

Background: I finally got out of my lease on my 2002 VW Passat, a nice enough car, but a bit too boring and utilitarian for me. I am paid a lot better now and so I want a nicer car. I find myself torn between half a dozen models ranging from the new ...

Good solid car

by pehr

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Looks like a more expensive car than it is; roomy enough for two kids.
Cons: Automatic windshield wipers don't work, seats stain easily, front bumper hangs down too low.
The Bottom Line: Good solid car.

After getting into an accident with my Audi A4, I was thrust into the market for a new car. I was looking for a sedan that was: 1) safe, 2) had decent gas mileage, 3) roomy enough for two car seats, 4) stylish, and 5) not too expensive. The C-Class ...

Mercedes' Response to a tarnished brand name

by loomspah
Feb 06 '08 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Style, Enough power, Better build quality, the "Mercedes-Feel"
Cons: Bit of a gas guzzler, price within the reach of the boy racer crowd
The Bottom Line: If you're looking to stand out of the crowd of Japanese tin boxes this is a great car.

I was really skeptical about the C-class given that Mercedes quality ratings form JD Powers have fallen below Hyundai. But it seems that Mercedes actually tried in 2005 with a new interior and the AMG body kit for the C-class. Everything just seem ...

Pleasantly Surprised

by donwarren2
Sep 21 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Fantastic Looks, Gas Mileage, Front Legroom, Very Solid Feeling with outstanding handling. excellent Value
Cons: A little down on power and a little sluggish to downshift sometimes
The Bottom Line: Buying this car used is a fantastic value, It seems like a much more expensive car than it really is.

I traded in my 03 Z06 Corvette for this car, I loved the vette but needed more room as I have 3 children. I went to the dealer (Chevy) looking for a used H3 or Caddy CTS to trade the Vette in on. I saw this 05 Brilliant silver C230 Kompressor Sedan ...

Good Car
by integra144  
May 02 '06 
Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Good build quality and Mercedes service and support.
Cons: Lacking key features which should be standard.
I have the 2005 C240 4matic sedan. Its great car built a lot better than my 1999 Ml320. its smooth and silent pm the highway. Though I do regret not getting the more powerful 320 V6. The car is lacking some stuff features like power seats and an auto reverse tilt exterior mirror. Other than that the car has great brakes excellent handling especially at high speeds like on the highway.
