2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This car is perfect, I love it, it has everything in the right places, the interior finishing, handling, braking system, yo there's nothing I'm not satisfied with, if I am to get another car, it definitely will be another mercedes.

Great breaking, acceleration is good enough to pass most cars on the freeway, handling is fine, steering wheel is stiffer and doesn't snap back as quick as, say Toyota/Lexus, but i'm fine with it. build quality overall is great, consider the C300 a baby S-class, with a smaller COMAND system, and slightly cheaper materials. Appearance is also great, I always get compliments on my car, and i really should wash it more. Cost of ownership: relatively low, aside from the free service that i got from Mercedes-Benz, i have over 9,000 miles in less then a year, and i've gotten a flat tire, which cost me about 300 at the dealer. Gas mileage for me is 19.5, bear in mind i usually drive in the city, but have taken it on two roadtrips. fun factor? fun enough, 6-speed automatic shifts nicely, and you can switch from a standard mode (starting on 2nd), or Comfort, (starting on 1). i would recommend this car for those who want a more luxury/compact-executive sport sedan. compare to: Lexus IS (i would avoid the bmw 328 or infiniti g37 comparison, since imo, they are for a different buyer)

I bought the C300 4 Matic, black on black with P2, multimedia package, This car is cool! Although I would like to have a bit more hp, but living in Boston, Multimedia package is great, Harmon Kardon sound system is fantastic. Average gas mileage is about 20 but mostly city driving. Very smooth ride, nice acceleration, steering is responsive. with the 4Matic I can go everywhere

Another temporary rental car. This was my first Mercedes experience. It is a very good car on all levels. The road holding is excellent. It brakes well and turns round corners with dedication, although I might add with a certain response time. That would be acceptable if the comfort would be exquisite, but it wasn't. That actually surprised me, because it was an elegance and not a sporty avantgarde! The ride is very 'German', but the seats make up for a large part because they're so brilliant. This is not my kind of comfort, I prefer the French softer way of seeing things. So if that's the comfort version, I'll have a sporty one, please. PS: the Comand system is terrific!

There is not a single thing I don't like about this car. Yes it is a tad slower than the BMW 335i but on the luxury side it is much better. the 335i is much too harsh while the Benz is really the best of performance with Luxury. The audio system and the iPod integration are amazing and they also really did a superior job on Bluetooth integration. Mine has the 18inch AMG wheels and the panoramic roof even today people on the streets are stopping to look at it. Really my best car up to now.

Amazingly stunning car, I’ve owned 19 different cars over the last 12 years, ranging from a 4x4 to sport saloons, this one is the bets of the lot … by far. The Handling is precise and direct, braking phenomenal. This car, in all other areas, are supreme. Some people might say it’s a bit expensive, my experience say it’s worth every cent … and more.

The first thing i liked about this car when I first drove it was how smooth the ride quality is. It has a luxury sport feel. The Sport version has staggered wheels that gives it an aggressive sporty look which I like a lot. Comes with the sporty looking body kit... The only think I really didn't like about this car is the cost of parts.. It can get pretty expensive quick if something goes bad.. Parts are expensive for this thing. But if you can afford it and it doesn't bother you then GO FOR IT! It is a very nice ride..

Appearance- very luxurious inside, exterior sporty Performance- love acceleration, very quiet ride, the drilled rotors are awesome. quiet on braking... very fun to drive and gas saver even though it is a V6 the quality is indeed the best. BENZ

Performance is good and agreeable. build quality is great. Appearance is nice. The cost of ownership is the worst part. The fun factors are cruising and driving everywhere. I used to have an Infiniti G35. Good took her away from me and gave me this :D.

Performance is excellent for this diesel engine size. Handling is great and is enhanced by the optional Advanced Agility Control spec where when you press the "sport" button the handling tightens up with quicker auto gear changes. Build quality is very good. Fuel consumption is high 40s when cruising and high 30s when pressing on. Great looking car with comfortable sports seating and decent size boot. Fun to drive either when you're in a hurry or just want to cruise. One of the best cars I've ever run.
