2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The car has been enjoyable with minor electrical problems.

Great cars. Watch transmission during 2001 - 2004, theyre known for transmission issues.

Top end grunt is amazing, but very slow off the mark. Low road noise, beautiful handling, fantastic ride quality. Good on fuel, and stylish to boot! The Kompressor engine is what makes it. Id hate to even think about a C180 natural aspirated donk, although Im sure it would be alright at full flight.

powerful engine with sport sound nice esp give high stability and good in long trip very quit in side-car good air condition easy comfortable to family sound system very good even after 10 year in my opinion it is very good for long distance and trip

Great body style, performance from the 3.2L v6 is excellent, steering/suspension is very good, not hard like my BMW but can handle corners well with a fairly plush ride, ABS/ESP system works excellent, Interior trim very well put together the rated fuel mileage of 26 mpg is spot on, drive with the active cruise control on @ 72 mph and you can get 28mpg which to me is acceptable considering your in a well built and safe vehicle that has 8 airbags in it to boot

I love this car. It suits me perfectly. Its a classy Mercedes, not quite as large as the E class so its perfect for young and old alike. It has go power, awesome stereo system (minus cd player), beautiful interior, plenty of storage space, and the ability to shift as a manual car.

Diesel is more than powerful enough to get the car to move, although turbo lag is very noticeable. Diesel torque is very nice when overtaking on motorways. Build quality doesn't disappoint, although you can hear a few rattles, esp from the first aid kit lid. Ride is kinda disappointing, since my 1990 190E rode better and handled better. It's like Stuttgart learned nothing in all those years. The reason being they invested all their time in the electro-nanny called ESP, which is always in the background, reining in all possible fun you want to have.

supremely comfortable, handles well, decent power from the 2.6l engine. looks good without being overstated. purchased more for comfort and auto gearbox than because its a mercedes. economy is ok for the size of engine, i managed 33.8mpg over a 460 mile journey. it can be fun to drive if you rev the nuts off it and use the tiptronics 'box. capable of 145, but i've only taken it to 122mph according to my satnav.

ECU replacment is about $1200 a pop, there's at least 4. Oil changes are %80+. Solid ride, low road noise, comfort is outstanding. Capable of ralle racing. Disc nav system is outdated now. Handling is superior to American cars even while needing tuning.

Great car. Sporty to drive especially in the mountains of NC. Very quick when needed. The only down side to this car is the electrical quirks that come up. The passenger side window and the sun roof will stop working. I have to reset the controls for them to start working again.
