2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I picked up my 2007 (the review parameter allowed only 2006), C 350 Sports Sedan (U.S. Spec.) from the Stuttgart factory in November. As I pulled away from the factory and entered the Autobahn, I realized that I was driving my dream. Deep power and crisp handling kept me in the fast lane where one needs to generate at least 110+mph - the C 350 readily lead the pack easily cruising at 125mph. The 7 speed automatic was silky, shifting smoothly up and down the gear range. Comfortable sport seating and excellent vision in all directions enabled exceptional road condition management. Heavy rain as I approached my destination was easily managed by the rain sensing wiper system and tires that were sure-footed on all surfaces at speed. The 350 continues to deliver the performance, comfort and reliability that made it a clear choice over the Audi A4 and 3 Series BMW.

I purchased this car after driving a Volvo s60, and a Saab 9-3. Both of those cars were excellentdrivers. The Mercedes however, is a step above in every way (except the Volvo seats). Brakes are excellent, acceleration is decent, handling is tight yet soft. This car is extremely solid and quiet. 5 stars for this car!

Manual transmission is very good for this car. I like it a lot. Especially the gas millage is very good as well, I had a record at 35mpg for one time, and 34 mpg for couple times. Usually it will stay around 29 to 30 mpg.

awesome car. i would prefer an AMG to anyone who would want both excellent performance and awesome styling. the 5.5 liter v-8 roars as you accelerate and the exceleration is not comparable to other luxury makers. maintenance is very low to none as well.

Overall, it is a beautiful car, comfortable and fast. Drives well and steady. Great for commuting to work or bigger trips. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys Mercedes brand. As always high quality car and perfect, detailed machine. Looking to buy more.

Brilliant car to drive! Smooth over most tarred roads. Bit heavy on petrol - but it is an automatic. The brakes are awesome - even if they leave lots of brake dust on the mag wheels. The aircon does not feel that strong on the lower fan speeds, so just crank the fan up full.

I've driven many company car but this has got to be the best build quality and reliable performance.

I am so happy with my purchase! The car has every feature I want and more. It’s in great shape and it’s a luxury car at an affordable price. Great benz!

given that Ive had this car since it was new and now it has over 100K and still performing optimally. I would recommnend it for almost anyone who is looking for sportiness and dependability as well as excellent customer service from MB when needed.

Precise and controlled handling and braking, built to last - never needs repairs/tune-ups/heavy maintenance, very luxurious - black leather interior with coupled with all the delightful electronic amenities, very beautiful - has the style and sophistication expected of Avantgarde, very fast, fuel efficient but expensive to own in the first place. Extremely fun to drive - you have to be in it to feel it. Hoping to add 17" chrome mags (or maybe just high polish, given the condition of SA roads). One downside though - I only discovered afterward that it's not ideal for driving in the suburbs, it was built to fly.
