Awsome. Thank you MB.

Finally a Mercedes Benz. Guys, you should drive it for some time to understand it. It is better than my previous 2006 BMW 325i by far (that car was a peace of junk). Better handling, much much much quiter than bmw and better features. Very pleased.

Niicccccceeeeeeee!!!

The audio upgrade is a big plus!!! Great sound and the navigation was excellent on a trip to southern California. This is my first Benz and I love it. I don't know why the other reviewers her rip the car unless they bought a South African model. Mine was from Germany and it is built tighter than any Japanese car I owned, which included a Lexus.

Create restyling of the C350 Sport

I just purchased this vehicle and am very pleased thus far. A definite draw back is the rear seating. If both front seats are extended back, you will only get a small child in the backseat due the lack of legroom. The new styling is remarkable. The features are truly MB. I would highly recommend the C350 Sport.

Hard to believe it's a Mercedes Benz

What's good about this car is it has all the luxury and handling of a real Mercedes Benz. And it defenitely has the Mercedes built features. But what I don't like about this car is it doesn't have Mercedes built performance or a Mercedes built apperance. But it also has a Mercedes Benz price... expensive! Oh well. Lots of Mercedes Benz enthusiasts will more than likely buy this car. But half of them will regret it!

I test drove it twice....

I really like this car, i think its more "attractive" than the 3 series. I don't really know how reliable it is cause i've never owned one. It has great turning radius, fast acceleration, great handling and good value. My wife and 2 kids fit in very comfortably. I don't know if its as fast or faster than the 3 series but i know i'm not going to racing anybody so the 7.3sec - 0-60mph is fine with me (not to shabby!)

Just test drove it today

I was completely disappointed with the C300 I test drove today. The transmission simply refused to downshift unless I floored it....then 2 seconds....it downshifted a few gears and the car accelerated. Brake feel was below average. The first inch of pedal travel had produced not much retardation of speed. Then, the brakes kicked in abruptly. The suspension was good. The car handled well going in and coming out of corners. Even with 18 inch wheels, the ride was never harsh. My wife and I liked the multi-media system and the interior. By the way, I had to floored it to keep up with the Honda Accord driving next to us. It was downright embarrassing.

Best Overall C Class vs. 3 Series

The great thing about the C class is the overall appearance both inside and out. It has all the bells and whistles you'll need in a car. The 3 series on the otherhand is fairly basic. On the engine performance though, the 3 series is better than the class though.

keep going Merc..good job

Its truely unbelievable.. no rival can beat that.. specially after the release of that hedious 3-series... the C350 that i own can eat up the 335i easily.. i got 270HP with 260lb torque... 0-62 in 5.4 as i timed it.. i would reccomend this car to anyone lookin for an elegant, same time sporty car.. it looks so inncent but you wont believe wat it can do.. remember to get the Harman 12 speaker set, its wonderful.. music never sounded better... what more can i say? Beautiful figure, amazing performance, and worth all the money.. C350 sport that is..
