2011 Mercedes-Benz C-Class consumer reviews

Okay - so it's an entry level Mercedes, but it's my first, so I'm excited about it. I have a pretty well loaded version, so it does everything except wash the dishes. Moved to San Francisco, from Ohio so no need for a 4WD. I like the hill assist feature which keeps you in place on the big hills this city has for a few seconds before rolling backwards. The Navigation system is really first rate, and once I really learn how to use it, I'm sure I'll like it even more - this was a must have for someone not from the area to help get around. I get 6 months of Sirius Satellite radio and will likely keep it, as it's a nice feature to have for road trips. Back seats fold down to make more room, and I really appreciate having a lockable trunk in the city. Drives very smooth, easy to see out the windows...has a button that creates shade on the back window for sunny days (black leather interior can get hot). Very few cons, but a couple of areas for improvement - Sound system is good, but not great. The interior feels a little cheap, especially where the left foot rest is, I can feel the difference between the carpet and some other material that sounds cheap when you tap your feet on it. Keyless starter is hard to release key for valet. I give it a little low value for the money, as for this price you can get a really good standard brand car, but then again, it isn't a Mercedes! :) Comes with a service plan, so assume most things will be covered.

This is a very nice car, hands down. I will not hesitate to recommend this car. A nice piece of machine.I am proud to be the owner of such a beautiful vehicle/machine. Can't see myself buying anything but a BENZ in the future. I own a SUV too that is not a Benz. I am absolutely impressed with this car.

I test drove the BMW 3 series and the Lexus IS series and the MB won hands down . Happy with my first three and this one's even better.

The 2011 C300 is a pleasure to drive as long as you don't accidently engage the cruise control. With all the good things about the cars design, it seems that the engineers left out this major safety detail. By placing the the cruise control such that is easily engaged may be the desired effect. Having a feature that takes aceleration control from the driver and can be engaged without a separate secondary control is foolishly dangerous. The C300 has plenty of pep and handles well. Good car for the money.

I've driven/owned just about all of them out there over the years - except BMW. My new C300 MB Sport is the best ever - in every respect. Luxury coupled with German style, manners and sportiness. The xenon lighting package is ideal for us new sight challenged drivers. But, don't forget the optional AMG wheels! It now looks (but surely doesn't perform) like a C63 AMG.

Just bought the C-350 "Sport" = Fast, very responsive, corners like a Porsche, I was in the hills earlier today, handles corners very good, thought I was on a train track, No slippage! I mean none, this car hugs the road. Mercedes builds the best luxury sports car, not to mention the most reliable and safest! Built to last, Im very confident I will get years of reliable usage and fun! Very classy/sporty looking at the same time! Very proud to own my first Benz, I am sold on Mercedes for life! Paul

This car is much more luxurious, comfortable and appealing when compared with the BMW 3 series and Audi A4. What's more is that you will be able to impress your neighbours, this being a Merc.
