2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class consumer reviews

Fantastic car. No maintenance to speak of. Great electronics and sound system. FAST, FAST, FAST. Certainly a Sleeper if you get the right motor. 185+ mph.

Excellent car very low maintenance cost and very good in petrol consumption and very reliable. But one thing I would advice that if the steering wheel is more adjustable.

I own a 2008 C300 4matic. I love the handling,the grip and power. This car will be good as a daily driver, will be good to drive on all kinds of Weather, it's has a decent amount of torque and power! It's quite enough although has a slightly cabin noise ! Offers DVD player I put gigs of music in my one DVD! The gauges do offer navigation information and lot more! It's very reliable so far! If you are a budget person the gas mileage will not make you happy but for me I do get 22 mpg combined and I'm happy with that! Maintenance is expensive such as oil changes but you can always go to mom and papa shops. I do recommend this car if you want luxury and sport this is the best car you can ever get! I only wish it had less wind noise!

Aside from an annoying amount of small electrical issues (bulbs blowing weekly, and some only the dealership can access to replace) and odd messages on the dash... and there were and continue to be a lot, the most frustrating is the electrical issues have fried the EIS (Electronic Ignition System) no, not once, but TWICE in a 2 year period. Each time the only repair is full replacement to the tune of $1,200+. This would be enough to give anyone a stroke, but the added perk the C300 owner gets is when that system fries, it locks the steering and gearshift and EVERYTHING!!! So where ever you are, when the tow truck comes, they have to wrench the car out of where it is located, drag it up on the bed, and drag it off once it arrives. This is painful enough to watch in person (believe me, I can say this as an eye witness) but when they now must drag it around the dealership to where it will finally be worked on an unbelievable amount of stress is put on the tie rods, struts, stabilizers, bushings, etc. at the front. Once the car is repaired be sure to listen and feel the steering carefully, upon leaving the dealership the SECOND time, the entire front end required another $1,200.00 in repairs. MBUSA were only willing to cover 40% of the cost 'as a recognition of a good customer' but I still got stuck both the first time and the second. Extremely disappointing and they continue to deny an issues.

I've had this car for about 9 months and it's just been sheer pleasure. Style, drive, comfort, instrumentation are apt. The only downside is the ride height which means I have to be careful on my terrain when I switch from the jeep.

I bought this 2008 in 2015. It had much less than 30,000 miles on it and felt brand-new in every way. I had me from the time I stepped on the gas pedal and turned the corner out of the dealership. Such a smooth and luxurious ride with a sweet sounding exhaust that sings when you make it go. I have absolutely no regrets. Friends love it, dealership treats you very well, and the car is just nice to look at. I can't really say much about "reliability" and was forced to choose a rating on it. I've had the car less than a month and no trips to get serviced but I can't say much else.

I purchased a 2008 Mercedes C300 Sport 4matic Black w/navigation. It is a very good upgrade from my 2004 C240. Thanks to Bavarian here in Mechanicsburg. I have a great car with a no hassle deal. I like the navigation and the seats. I buy Mercedes because of a head injury and ant to be protected. Thanks to caring dealers and Great Car makers. I feel very safe in this car. Plus it looks good as well. Thanks Jamie and the service was outstanding. The auto light features are a favorite of mine. Plus the auto dimming rear view mirror,

The service at this dealership was excellent. The whole team works with you and are dedicated to meeting your requests. They have your best interest, everything went smoothly. It's not only about the money but getting you the best deal possible. Love their dedication to their customers and they have beautiful well maintained vehicles. Thank you again Bergen motors !!!

Love this car-Runs great! very comfortable and fun to drive!!! I had a great experience with this dealer as well!

It took me 3 weeks hunting for a car I would feel reasonably comfortable in with my long drives to and from work. I finally saw this car on Cars.com at BMW San Francisco. I didn't think I could get a good deal from there being a downtown store of a high end automobile but I did. I got a great deal! Then the car, which had a panoramic roof was almost flawless even though it was a 5 year old car. I used to drive an ML350 so moving over to a C class was a big savings on my gas bill each week. Though rated at 25 mpg, with some conscious driving on my part, I have reached 26.3 mpg. Power is not a problem at all especially when you need it. MP3 player comes with it and is a good substitute to a 6 Disc CD Changer.
