Great car except reliability

It has great performance exactly car for driving in city. Everything is awesome except durability it has M272 engine which gives many problems. Also 7G tronic transmissions are not durable as 5G tronic.

Luxury at a value

Very nice car. Plenty of room, rides very mice, good pick up and looks amazing. Always do the schedule maintenance for years of enjoyment. Only uses premium gas.

Great car, no recall or support

This is a great car at first. I bought mine 2 years old. I did barely anything to it but routine maintenance so I?d say it is reliable. THEN, I got an engine code. 150,000 miles... and it turns out BENZ used an inferior metal on the balance shaft. This repair calls for 33 hours of labor. So unless you had almost $7,000 to repair a car now worth $5000, you traded it in like me or parted it out. No support from Benz. Turns out there was a notice 2-3 yrs ago but no contact from them. Even then it was based on mileage and up to 70% payout. I?d never buy another Benz again ever.

Great car with small flaws

I bought the C280 4-matic with 97K miles and hae 175K on it now, The car has been really relible in general. The drivers arm rest plastic has peeled up, the window switch location is lousy, the radio has lost a channel and the base headlights are awful on low beam. I have heard that these cars can have transfer case, cam adjuster and engine issues. I changed the transfer case fluid at 97K and the noise went away and has been fine since, The doors have bubbled from rust along the bottom but the body otherwise has been fine. Overall, I have been verty satisfied with the car and maintenance has been very minimal - no engine issues at all.

Great Style and Bang for your buck

This car is a great little car with lots of pep. The six cylinder engine is solid and will run forever. Get the Mercedes Benz experience at the Chevy price. Interior options are progressive and satisfies your every desire.

best car I ever owned

love my 2006 Mercedes C 230 sport . This car combine between luxury ,speed,comfort,relibility and affordability . Yes that car oil change cost around $80.00 but you only need to change it every 8-9k and yes that car takes only premium gas but you get excellent gas millage (up to 30MPG)
