Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate C220 CDI Blue Efficiency Estate 2010

4 star review

A great car to drive with sufficient power, good fuel economy and comfortable front seats. It would benefit from a park assist system as a standard item. The only gripe is the different sized alloys; tyres should be the same all-round, preferably 225x45x17, at least for this car. This gives a more comfortable ride and be less expensive as tyres can be rotated.

5 star review

I bought my car as a 3 month old Mercedes management car. It came fully loaded with all the toys one could need at a very substantial discount on the list price. In truth, I really wanted to replace my Jaguar S type with the new XF, but, being practical, a mid size estate is the car I actually need. The C class estate ticked all of the selection criteria. I have owned the car for 7 months and I have logged 9000 miles. I am very impressed. The only problem I have had was when a local vandal nicked the "gunsight" emblem. It is well built and the ride is comfortable. The engine sounds a tadge argricultural (compared with my old S type) when just started, but soon quietens. The faster you go the quieter the cabin seems to get. If you want to play the 7 speed paddle gear change works very well allied to what is a powerful engine. Driven more conservatively the car will easily return over 40 mpg. Load carrying is good and fulfils my expectations. The powered tailgate is a dream. My only niggle with the car is an inability to start from 2nd gear in snow. There is a safety override on the paddle gear change that stops the driver selecting inappropriate gears. Mercedes have decided that you can only start in 1st gear.

4 star review

Having moved from a 2007 180 K sport manual I can compare the new model. Good points: Superbly damped ride, more space, parking sensors, economical 45mpg, quality of dash, doors etc, great clunk on closing doors, stereo now plays mp3 cds, bluetooth, rain sensors, pace got real boost around 3k. Super brakes, stands on its nose. Despite being a diesel the engine is not too coarse only only grinds away at low speed. Bad points: Seats hard and flat, steering wheel large, too light, totally devoid of feel. Tyres, too skinny at 205, needs 225 which means looks poor and doesn’t handle as well as my old car with 245 on the back, I know I have the base model, but it’s my main gripe. Auto and diesel are not good combination, floor the throttle either at standstill or at speed and there is a 1-2 second delay before it decides what gear to be in and then the boost comes on, this makes roundabouts a bit lethal as the car just lingers before anything happens, with a car bearing down on you. That stupid auto boot, open the boot half way and let go and this motor then drives the boot all the way up, so if you park under a garage door or near a wall, it grinds itself into the wall ( this happened in a hotel car park 2 weeks from new) The motor should only work on the key, not manually. PS Mercedes, next time you design a car let me know! Despite all this. I wouldn’t choose anything else like an audi for example.. its a Merc and it makes me feel good!

5 star review

The new Mercedes C-Class does not need any more convincing for any shopper to think about it. For starters, the three star quality markers from the Mercedes Company is a sure representative of what a Mercedes car is capable of. Mercedes has had a long history of producing quality automobiles and the C-Class lives up to that name. The 2010 models are currently riding the Mercedes flag high with impeccable sales and impressive test scores in a number of consumer reviews. Even though the price might block out some potential buyers, the luxury and sports models of this sedans are worth it. Mercedes C-Class for has done it yet again. As an entry level sedan that features both luxury and sports, Mercedes C-Class is available in different models to meet the needs of different drivers. For that luxurious, uninterrupted ride, an appealing and comfort oozing interior coupled with a classy finish and styling, the C-Class delivers competently. The sports Mercedes c class car comes with a suspension and a more a brash style to meet the sporty nature of this low rider. The twin engines with powerful horse power render the car the ultimate sports machine of choice today. The Mercedes C-Class has cut out a niche for itself and the luxury and sports car market without much difficulty. Even though it is pricey when compared to its rivals, the C-Class delivers with the assurance of its three star pointers that is a symbol of what a Mercedes car can achieve. If you have always wanted a more austere driving experience, this is the car to have. Whichever models suits you; there is a Mercedes C-Class that will have all the features you want. No matter your tastes and preferences this car is what you crave.
