2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class consumer reviews

I just love absolutely everything about this car except the interior, and I think Mercedes knows it was ugly as it got a huge upgrade a few years later (2005). Other than that, this car runs like crazy, if you floor it from a stop, you'll spin out, but if you're a bit more careful, it is said to be able to do the 0-60mph sprint in less than 5 seconds, which is crazy for 4 door sedan. But be careful as it just pulls and pulls even over 100mph it just keeps going. Reliability is also great. I've owned it for 1.5 years and put around $300 in repairs outside the scheduled services, which is crazy for a performance vehicle.

I own a 2003 C32 AMG and it is absolutely the funnest and most impressive handling 4dr sedan I've ever owned. Mercedes sure put out an excellent product for the lower budget individual on this this one. LOVE IT!!!!

i like this car. i will buy this make for my next car. mercedes is my favorite car since i was young.

Kompressor is excellent for its good gas milage. Bought it to use in commuting 25 miles one way to work. to replace an F150 King Range that gets 13 miles/gal. Very comfortable and peppy with the 1.8L Turbo engine, drove it from FL to NJ after purchasing it with very low milage. Has many features that weren't available on many American cars for that year. For an 8 year old car, the MB quality still shows through even for a low end model.

I bought my c320 4matic wagon with20k miles on it 7 yrs ago and to date have not had any repairs to it yet..only routine maintenance (tires and brakes). Prior to, had only had saabs and had had good luck, but took a chance on this sporty little wagon. handles well, fast, zippy and exterior styling is very pleasing. Going for 100,000 mile tune up soon and though I am often tempted to get a bigger suv type vehicle as my family grows, there is nothing wrong with this car and I hate to trade it in. I have been won over and am certainly a Mercedes-Benz fan now.....quality and good design. I also feel very safe driving insnow storms, ice with this.

quick response when you step on the gas, because it is supercharged, AND A 4 CYL !! interior just perfect as a mercedes should be. Solid ride even with 2 people in the back. Seats very comfortable with great leather, heated feature is awsome! you are warm in seconds. Also this car has a very small turnibg circle, able to make those quick u-turns with very little room. would reccomend highly to anyone. and of course, those looks when you pull up in a Mercedes!!!

We bought this from a dealer who got it in a trade (one-owner), after researching the model on cars.com and test driving a few others. We love the way it looks, drives and feels. It's solid, fast and safe. We look forward to many years and miles of driving our Kompressor.

I really love my 2003 Mercedes Benz C320! It's a small car that rides like a big luxury car. The performance is awesome, and the interior is very nice. Nice exterior styling and nice wheels. I have had a few problems with tailights going out (like my BMW) and there's a clicking sound in the dashboard at start-up. Other than that, this has been a great car for what we paid for it. It turns heads everywhere we go. I recommend MB just as much as BMW now.

This is a great little car at a very affordable price. I have had no major problems. It might not be as luxurious as the higher end Mercedes but definitely just as reliable.

I purchased this car out of a short term lease. Certified Pre Owned. The 2 door coupe Kompressor was a sharp looking, zippy little car. Then the gears for the sunroof stripped, then the air conditioning failed, then the Certified Pre Owned Warranty ran out. That's when the trouble started........I purchased the Mercedes Extended Warranty. It lists hundreds, maybe a thousand covered items....guess what....none of them ever break. I had repairs every 2 or 3 months in excess of $600.00 before I gave up and traded it in for a new Cadillac. Never again, the Germans can have their engineering. I can't afford it.
