Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon C 200 CDI SE 2008

My C Class is the fourth of its generation. I opted for the diesel and the 40+ MPG. The high quality is evident in every aspect of this car. The steering is more responsive than in previous models and the ride is smooth and comfortable. I think that the price tag of around Â£22,000 offers good value for money and decent residual values make it a sound option when buying or leasing. The C Class is a spacious, comfortable car with a respectable selection of engines.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon 180 Kompressor SE 2008

Another well designed car from Mercedes. I’ve had this for only two weeks but already it has impressed me. This car can really work when you need to push it and goes like a bat out of hell when you want it to. It’s a very understated car unlike the BMW 3-series but it’s all there in the drive and it’s no less fun for being, dare I say, slightly classier. Excellent safety features as you’d expect and want in a family car and great use of space too. MPG is in the 40’s bracket so all good there too. Excellent car.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon C 320 Avantgarde Auto 2006

Just about to say goodbye to my C320 which has provided outstanding trouble free motoring for the last two years. Exhilarating ride, superb comfort and awesome acceleration. Could not fault this vehicle even if I tried hard, its a beautiful car to drive offering luxurious finish and status. I am about to take delivery of my new E-Class and hope that it is just as good as the vehicle I have enjoyed for the last few years. Previous vehicle was a 5 Series BMW 525 Dse Auto, not a patch on the Mercedes for Style, Comfort, Power and most importantly Looks and Quality feel. Well done Mercedes !!!!!

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon C Class 250 2000

I always wanted one, and only if it was white in colour, it had to be the 5 cylinder version, turbo diesel with intercooler , 5 speed automatic, even the back head rests pop down via a switch, the boot (trunk to our friends in the States) pops up on the key fob function...etc, etc etc... even the washer bottle is so big it would last a Siberian Winter without needing to fill it up!!! And I was lucky and managed to get it!!! (Thanks to Clydesdale Bank in Scotland for 4 years car loan mode) in a place called Trade Sales in Slough ..near London many many MANY years ago (actually 7 years ago) and I still have it.!!!. WHY, because it is still, after all these years , ’as good as new’. We know the saying...a happy life = a happy WIFE, well I got this vehicle for my other half and pal (my wife) all these years ago, (p.s .she is still my wife and we’re still pal’s) she (and I include myself) do not want to get rid of it for any reason, why, the sound of the engine and absolutely fault free reliability (apart from a fault in the diesel glow plug relay box / system which cost just under £180 pounds to fix at an Independent just a couple of weeks ago...goodness a failure!!!) and this is all l have paid out in repairs in 7 years of trouble free motoring, then it’s worth it!. What more can I say. OK, it’s not done a lot of miles, it’s cost a set of tyres (or 2..maybe 3 until I got the alignment fixed out) but it is still fab and the underneath is still as good as new...so why change it. ...some sort of 30 year anti rust thingy, something ...whatever? Excellent vehicle and if you can get the MB Tex interior (OK, it’s the taxi spec so I am informed from a taxi aficionado) so much the better. I am lucky to have had and still have this Mercedes Benz C Class 250 TD Classic auto version and have no doubts I will have it for a wee while yet...well done MB, an absolute peach / credit to Engineering and quality.......just wish I had the £ to get the recent new one equivalent... unfortunately Mr Darling and Mr Brown tax me so much that much I can’t afford a new one and if they continue to tax me / us any more we all won’t be able to afford anything!!!!!) ...(sorry for being rather political) however, I just hope it’s as good as the old one!!!! PS... Do not tow a caravan with it (auto version)..It is not meant for this purpose unless you have shares in Saudi Arabia / Esso and B.P. including ASDA and Tesco (not forgetting Morrison’s and Sainsbury Diesel pumps all at the same time!!!l)..sure it will get you anywhere in this side of time without effort but your Visa / MasterCard will be red hot and burnt out at the end of your return journey including contributing to the ’sub prime mortgage’ thingy disaster credit squeeze ...otherwise, as a local or motorway car on its own with the family or pals, it’s perfect ... and thanks for taking the time to read my experience / ramblings and hopefully a bit of harmless silly fun with this other pal of mine my C250!!

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon C280 Elegance 2007

Solidly built, smooth engine, autobox likewise, great ride, the new COMAND module is superb and the Linguatronics is spot on. Oh, and the fuel consumption is surprising economical compared with the 3 litre S type this Merc replaced. The new C class at last gives the BMW 3 series some much needed competition. My only niggle is that the sliding cover on the compartment in the centre console is not colour co-ordinated for the reef grey interior - it’s black! Despite this it does exactly what it says on the tin and was very, very close to getting a 5 star rating.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon 180 Kompressor SE 2007

I’m lucky enough to have this as my company car. It’s roomy, classy, quick, safe and exciting to drive. I would not buy this car as I think it is overpriced but should definately be considered from a leasing perspective.

EuroNcap 5 stars, always worth noting. Smooth ride, performance is good and spacious, luxury feel inside. I feel better off for just owning one.

What a difference a new model makes! Miles better than the old car, looks just like a smaller S-Class. Really refined and very affordable on Contract Hire and leasing deals due to strong residuals.
