"I bought a 2006 C280-4matic in January from a dealer in NJ after I was driving my friends car while he was on vacation and loved it. Now, after 5 month I have to say that I never invested my money better. Rain, Snow, Gusty Winds- no problem. The all-wheel-drive gives you this unmatched feeling of safety when you run into the large water puddles on the highway. At 24MPG for a 3.0 Liter V6 with 230HP you have nothing to complain. I had it in for an oil change and the guy checked my breaks. In the back, at 78K miles still the first rotors. Yes, they are expensive to change on a MB, but the way they last you make up for it."

"I was in Europe in 2007 and had the C-Class 280-4matic as a rental car in Switzerland. In December. Needless to say it performed incredible, I NEVER before had a car that took any kind of stress away from me with 6 inches of snow on the road!! Wow!! I went back home and said to my wife:" This is my next car". Fulfilled my dream 1 year later- and never regretted. My son is taking over my 2007 280matic with 165,000 miles and guess what: He loves it. So get your hands on this great car. Incredible in rain and snow-unbeievable reliable..."

"Bought a 2006 C230 Sport, solid performance, great styling with classic MB lines. I did a little research and the 2006 model year has less reported problems than other years in the W203 series. The car had relatively low miles for the year 54k. I bought the car from a MB dealer, however it was not "Certified" pre-owned. The price was right and so were my expectations, it is a used car and not perfect but I am very happy with it and I got into it for less than half what a new C300 would have cost. A good first time out in the luxury car market."

"Very good handling, good gas milage, you can hear your watch tick at 90mph. 4-wheel-drive gets you everywhere. There is no better car in this size. I bought a 2006 with 66K miles and have it now 3 month-love, love it."

"What a great car! I bought a 2007 with 60k miles for my daily 150 mile commute and have it now for 18 month. Came to this page here to shop for another one for a friend of mine. The car gives you this unbelievable safety feeling thanks to great breaks, unmatched handling in rain and snow with the all-wheel-drive and the electronic stability program. Not fearing bad weather makes all the difference. I paid $199 for the A service, basically an oil change and a check up. But you only need to do that every 15000 miles. I get 27mpg in average going 70-75mph on the highway. Super silent and responsive engine."

"we wanted a bmw but the dealer had this 280-4matic for a great price of 17k with 55k miles. After test driving in Chicago on winter roads decision was made quickly that this is our car. Have it now for 3 month and we love, love love it. Great performance, extremely good winter car (all-wheel-drive) and boy what a smooth ride. I hope this one lasts us for a long time. Try to get a model with seat heating, this is phenomenal comfortable in cold weather."

"just got a used 280 4matic with 50K miles. Never had a better winter car. Here in Buffalo you need a reliable winter car and this is the best I ever had in 24 years of driving. 23 mpg , great 3.0 liter engine, very responsive and sooooo silent and smooth."
