2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class consumer reviews

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.

I purchased a 2006 Mercedes from Cars.com. I was really suprised with the cleanliness of the car and how the owner was fair with his pricing. This is my first time buying a car on line. The best part was the car was located within 1:30 drive from my house. It was worth the drive. We are very satisfied with the car and the price we paid.

I am not a big fan of used cars, But couldnt afford a New MB.So looked up in Cars.com and saw a MB EXACTLY as per my requirment.Usually Pictures are deceptive, specially in Used cars, but still took a chance , as I thought I would loose only a couple of hundreds if I dont like the MB(had to drive from Atlanta to Chicago]When I saw my MB it was even better than in Pictures.It drove wonderfully.I have it now for over Three months, and I am very happy, that I got this car.

Bought this car certified at Mercedes dealership. Great driving for about a year then suddently the car shuts off when driving it up a hill. Took the car back to the dealership to fix and then said good to go. Drove it for about a week before the car shut off on me while on a hill and the wheel locked makign it impossible to pull over to a safe area with oncoming traffic. Turned the car off and then on to drive back to the dealership and now its back in the shop. Horrible experience.

If you ever take a curve to fast on a rainy day than you get to appreciate the 4matic and the ASC in the Mercedes. It corrected my steering and by pushing the gas pedal I got out safe. What a great car ! I had it for 2 years now and never a problem. Extremely responsive with very good acceleration on snow and wet roads. I wish I had a plug for my Ipod, that's all I am missing.

Very nice car as far as exterior but interior, no! You can check for yourself by viewing the pictures. It doesn't get any basic than that. The ride is very nice but it seems very slow when driving off. Maybe I'm bias because I own/owned other vehicles such as Bmws, Volkswagon and acuras that were much faster. The only complaint i truly have is the interior and price for the vehicle. I was able to get a great deal for my vehicle since it was on another german-made car lot. BTW...GREAT ON GAS!

I just bought this 2007 280matic for my wife. 20MPG in Jersey City, 25MPG Highway. Sometimes she wishes to have a bigger trunk, but that is really all that bugs her. The car is very safe, extremly good handling in snow and rain (4WD). She had a 2006 Cadillac SRX V6 which was a disaster in quality and behaviour. So this is the first Mercedes, and certainly not the last one.

bought my 2006 280 4matic in November 2009. Rain and snow never a problem, you feel really save.Traction in snow is unbelievable, this car goes always. I get 21.5 MPG in average with 70% city traffic. Highway on longer trips 28 MPG. Always take the 280 and not the 240. The 240 is to heavy and needs more gas.

I change cars very often as I drive over 40k miles per year. This one I've had for almost 2 years and do not want to let it go. This MB is perfect in every aspect. great fuel economy, easy to get around in the city and it looks awesome! with 4matic all-wheel drive for the winter - this thing goes through stuff that some truck don't! if you're thinking about it - just get it!
