Great overall car
This is not my first car, but it is my first Mercedes. I have to say, I am sold and there is no other car maker that could compete with Mercedes for my attention. I like the way the car looks and the way it feels on the road. I am also satisfied with the level of performance this vehicle has to offer. I have to admit that when 5 people are in the car, it could get uncomfortable, but that is small price to pay since I rarely have 4 other passengers with me.

NEVER AGAIN
I always wanted brand name cars, so I decided to buy Benz c 240. In first 3 years it worked great. 4 th year I had little trouble. right after the warranty period got engine two times. Almost spent 3000$. Car broke down on me twice in the middle of highway. Almost spent 4000$. To make it simple as of today I spend 12000$ just for the maintenance. my 1998 ford has less maintenance cost.

Amazing Performer
I love my 2007 Mercedes-Benz c230 Sport. It was recommended to me by a friend who also has a 2007 c230 Sport as well and she loves her's. It's quite the little performer! The car handles amazingly and the power is just enough but not overwhelming. I love to drive it on the highway because that's when it really shows itself off. Since mine is an automatic I mainly use the steptronic rather then letting it do all the work, but it's perfectly fine both ways. The service is amazing. I always feel like they are trying their hardest to get me in and out of the dealership when ever I take it in for its routine check-ups. I highly reccomend this car to anyone who is looking to buy one of these.

The Worst Vehicle I have ever Owned
The 2007 Mercedes-Benz C-230 is by far the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Within the first week of purchasing this vehicle, it failed to start twice. I returned it to the dealership where they changed the battery, updated the software, and the problem has persisted. Within six months of purchasing the vehicle, the gear-shift started the peel, they replaced it but by that time, I was tired of bringing this vehicle to the dealership. And of course, I had to bring it in for Service A, as well as the Emissions recall. In November of 2007, during Thanksgiving, the vehicle refused to start after sitting for two days. Also, the acceleration rate has decreased drastically, on the highway, the vehicle will not accelerate like it did during the first month. I only put premium gasoline in the vehicle. The dealership wants countless chances to repair these problem, and frankly, I am just tired of the vehicle. No one wants to take responsibility for the lemon, which they sold to me. Currently, the vehicle is at the dealership, because it failed to start again last week. Previously, I owned a 1997 Mazda and a 1995 Ford Explorer, and I never encountered these problems.

Great Small Cruiser: Highly Recommended
The C280 is a great car if you are looking for a small cruiser. The car is incredibly comfortable and has great acceleration. It is a great city car because it is small and it offers all of the amenities of a larger cruiser. The car is very affordable and is very well made. It is a solid build and fun to drive. It handles well and is not overbearing when it comes to maneuvering and parking. The Mercedes C class series is one of the best buys for your money.

the worst car I owned
I found the all car made in USA by Mercedes Benz any model are cheaply made. Is a fact that these cars do not meet Canadian and European safety standards. If you like MBZ buy a European made or Canadian made. Buying USA made MBZ car? then you are buying a cheaply made car that looks good. How is that possible? try to export a MBZ american made into Canada. Flat aloud the Canadian boder patrol will tell you NO. These cars do not meet safety standards. Please do not buy MBZ any model cheaply USA made cars. Do not make the same mistake I made. By the way I went to the USA dealer and Canadian dealear, both were not helpful and did not want to take resposibilty of the car. The car also can not be modified to meet Canadian safety standards.

Best performing car I've owned
I have had my C230 for only four days and I am in love, big time. I have put over 500 mile on it already and it performs beautifully. I am six feet tall and weigh in at around 250 lbs. The car is more comfortable than any other vehicle I have ever owned. The 201 horses really get up and gallop when the accelerator is depressed. Although, I treated it very gently as recommended by the owner's manual (for the first 1000 miles). I am like a little kid with a new toy. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone.

Fast, Powerful, Superb Handling, Beautiful!!!
I picked up my 2007 Mercedes-Benz C 350 Sports Sedan (U.S. Spec.) from the Stuttgart factory. The factory pick-up experience is indicative of this uniquely exceptional marque. The engine's deep power, quick 0-60 acceleration, ability to cruise the Autobahn at 125 mph, accelerating into the fast lane to 140+ mph. Road handling is superb, managed by Z rated asymmetrical front and rear tires. The beautiful lines of this automobile are supported by rock solid construction. Interior appointments are showcased by black birds-eye maple wood accents. The lighting and entertainment packages bring further ergonomic luxury to the driver and passengers. This car exceeds all expectations.

Why buy anything else in this class
I've had my 2007 W203 for about a month and I have to say I'm in love with it. I've always wanted a merc so it's easy for me to love it, but this car is really something else. First of all it rides and has the class of the S class and as a fan of small vehicles, this car is the perfect size between the SLK and the S Class. I have a 4 year old so I need some room in the back. Also, I looked at all the other cars and quite frankly they look cheap and dated. All the cars are nice, i.e. Acura TL, Lexus IS, Infinity G35, Volkswagen Passat, and others. With the exception of the BMW, the quality and engineering of this car far exceeds the others. For some reason luxury Japanese cars, even though they have improved tremendously, have a plastic feel that I don't think you escape until you are in the large sedans like the Lexus LS series. Mercs just have a very strong and sturdy look and design. Even the interior buttons are solid. Have you ever seen a 5 year old Lexus, Infinity, or Acura? They look like dated designs and no different than their mid class counter parts. What I like about Merc and BMW is that they don't have mid class models, i.e. toyota/lexus honda/acura nissan/infinity. Mercedes is mercedes and always has been. My friend has a 2001 C320 and it still carries the same class today as it did when it was new in 2001. That has value to me. I've seen ES class lexus' that my friends drive and I just think they are padded toyotas, because they are. I mean the Avalon and Camry are even utilizing the same frame. Of course there is nothing wrong with that, but class longevity means a lot to me. I see 10 year old mercs that I think are good looking. Last thing.. drive a merc in any class and they ride the same... Solid, grounded, and balanced. If you want off the line power, buy a BMW, but if you want to ride in a almost perfectly engineered automobile, then buy the c-class merc. Oh by the way.. get it loaded. i.e. nav, sunroof, entertainment package, 7 speed auto..
