Good car for short/small people

I got this car as a hand me down from my brother. It has over 125,000 miles on it now and it’s still running well... with a few minor problems here and there! It’s comfortable for me because I’m short but not so comfortable for my husband who is 6ft. tall. If doesn’t have all the new gadgets but it does have a navigation system that still works and Bluetooth capabilities. I love the size as it’s so easy to park and get into tight spaces.

Best Sports Mercedes when you have a family

Luxury work horse

Runs like a dream but slogging 100 miles to dealership is a pain in the butt! Would still highly recommend to anyone. Great gas mileage also

best investment ever

It meets both my family and work needs. Never got stuck in snow. It handles very well. Better than SuV. Very good on gas and never breaks. Very low maintenance.

Best of all cars I ever owned!

2008 C-Class was the first redesign of the new Mecedes-Benz. It turned out a very good car so far, pass almost 11 years. There were some minor glitches but those were fixed under warranty. I like the look of my C-class better than the newer one! Looking at the newer model reliability score, my car has fared much better.
